Equal Opportunity Terrorists
Call them baby-killers, call them animals, call them primitive barbarians - just don't call them un-ambitious! In the same day, JPost has stories about Palestinian terrorists trying to kill Palestinian leaders and trying to kill Israeli rabbis. And the wannabe murderers are just so charming!
Zubeydi told the crowd he was ready to march on the offices of local parliamentarians. "In half an hour, if we find any of them in their offices there will be blood and then our only language will be the bullet," he said.
I guess it is always the poets and artists that lead revolutions. And just to prove that the Palestinians don't have a monopoly on giving idiotic quotes to the press:
Shas chairman Eli Yishai complained that governmental officials were preventing the rabbi from receiving constant Shin Bet supervision. "Rabbi Ovadia Yosef deserves the same protection as former prime ministers," Yishai said. "The arrest is a warning signal that should not be ignored"
Former Prime Ministers are protected from Arab terrorism because they have valuable security information and their murder would be a devastating victory for Israel's enemies. Former Prime Ministers are protected from Jewish terrorism because Jewish terrorists have killed Prime Ministers in the past (a tragedy that some of Shas's electoral allies were not exactly un-complicit in). Yosef has no security information, and Jewish terrorists don't exactly have him in their sights. He's also kind of a lunatic (not a total lunatic mind you - just kind of one). Admittedly, he is a prominent political and religious figure who Muslim fanatics would love to kill, so he should have the same protection as high-ranking MKs - which the article seems to imply that he already does.
P.S. Speaking of Yigal Amir, how disgusting is it that there are groups of ostensible leftists trying to help him be happy. Is there some kind of "let him rot in jail forever" petition that I can sign?
