Excerpt from this day’s program:
…Lastly, here’s a letter I sent to JPost hard copy this morning. Sometimes the letters editor there prints me, sometimes not. He’s a leftist. “Your correspondent on your front page October 18 (“Obama says PM…”) wrote, “Since October 1, seven Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in 30 stabbing or attempted stabbing attacks by Palestinian terrorists.” I think a more accurate description would be “Since October 1, seven Jews have been murdered…by Muslim assassins.” After all, the killers are known to, in their striving to reach Muslim paradise — via homicide and suicide — shout out as they strike, “Allahu Akbar!” And since they commonly deny even the existence of “Israelis,” their targets are, in their own eyes, less “Israelis” than the same evil Jews written about in their Koran. Moreover, since there is nothing “Palestinian” about these knife-wielding maniacs — neither their mother tongue nor religion is indigenous to Palestine — “assassins” (derived from the Arabic) might also be a more accurate description than the clichéd “Palestinian terrorists.” |
