So, What do Buenos Aires and Dubai Have In Common?
by Gerald A. Honigman
Not Much… and it’s even worse than you think.
In July, 1994, Arabs, Iran, and/or a combination thereof blew up a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina–some 87 dead, 300 wounded….innocent men, women, and children.
To this day, no one knows for sure all the details… but Arabs and their cohorts were rejoicing throughout the Middle East.
No international call for justice was seriously pressed for (except by the Jews themselves); no stink was made over having to bring such cowardly b _ _ _ _ rds to justice. No nothing.
Now, contrast that disgrace with the following…
Recently, a chief Hamas honcho received his admission slip to meet his 72 virgins via a visit to Dubai.
Since then, much of the world has become determined to find out who this poor disemboweler of Jews’ dispatcher was.
Does anyone besides me have a problem with this?
Naturally, the fingers are pointing to Israel’s Mossad. But others are now being blamed too.
Look, the young children and others blown apart as a result of that 1994 act of Arab and/or Iranian heroism didn’t hurt anyone. But, they were Jews…
And any Jew who dares to assert that the resurrected state of Israel is a relatively good thing (everything in the realm of man is relative) is, by definition, a fair target for those who see justice only through their own eyes, denying any at all to scores of millions of others (not only Jews) in what they see as only “their ” own exclusive region….purely Arab patrimony as they like to tell it.
Yes, there are questions about hits of murderers on other folks’ soil.
Are there no such questions about massacring innocents on other folks’ soil?
Why more time and effort devoted to discovering who finally delivered just dues to another “militant” with the blood of babes, grandmas, and so forth on his hands than that shown over the butchery of those latter folks?
When these same dudes and dudettes were specializing in blowing apart Jewish teens in nightclubs; kids on buses, in pizza parlors, ice cream shops; mothers and their kids in shopping malls; families attending weddings Passover Seders, bar mitzvahs; and the like, do any of you out there in Readerland recall such depth of concern?
If it wasn’t Israel’s Mossad who paid Hamas chief Mahmoud al-Mabhouh a visit in Dubai, then it should have been…
Hopefully, many more such heroes–including those with safe havens in Damascus–will very shortly also find their way to Islamic Paradise.
