It turned out in the end that my Mumbaikar colleagues all came out alright physically, though there is the emotional scarring and rage felt by all victms of terror, actual or vicarious. I'm grateful to have found out that they are ok.

Ruvy: ""I could explain why I raised the example of what happened at the bus-stop at the Jaffa Road a number of years ago; indeed, I'm tempted. But, I'll be a gentleman and refrain..." good

[EDITED - IRRELEVANT] Do you think terrorists came all the way to India just to kill handfull of Jews??? I certainly would imagine that terrorists intent on bringing Mumbai to her knees would ignore a handful of Jews in the Haba"d House. They were hardly worth bothering with. But apparently, they did come to Mumbai and they did attack Jews specifically, a synagogue which they made sure to trash; they tortured and killed the Jews who did not escape their clutches. They did not attack a Hindu temple, nor a Christian church, even though Christians and Hindus are equally noxious infidels in their eyes, and far more numerous in Mumbai. So, it appears, in spite of all that one would wish to say to the contrary, they did go to India and target Jews to kill them. I may not know my history, but I do know that 5 Jews ar dead, and that makes for a very Happy Thanksgiving. In addition, some folks posting here found this cause to celebrate. My only comment is that it is a pity that toads are not kosher. Frying one up well spiced might make an interesting meal.... The terrorists who attacked India managed to bring the Jew-hatred found in Nazi Germany and transmitted to the Arab world to your country. In other words, in addition to all the many many serious problems India and her neighbors face, they dumped that shit on you as well. I leave you to contemplate that, should you choose to. As for me, my concern is for my Mumbaikar colleagues with whom I work, that they were not injured or hurt during the terrorist assault on Mumbai.

Nobody I know takes this kind of joy in the events that have occurred in Mumbai. But, when Arab terrorists murdered Jews in Be'ersheva some years ago, I remember hearing about it at a Jerusalem bus stop - and seeing two Arab women grinning with joy. When everybody else at the bus stop was stricken with sadness at the news of the dead in Be'ersheva, these women wore broad grins on their faces.

The reaction of those women was indeed inhuman. On the other hand, it did not occur in a vacuum. The Israelis have those women's people in what is for all intents and purposes an apartheid system. The Israelis have been using starvation as a form of communal punishment for the past few years. They have killed many of the Palestinians, slowly, in this way. Such deep hatred as you witnessed on the women's faces does not appear from nowhere.

I have no interest in contending with anybody about a terrorist attack that kills people. I record here my thoughts on the matter: "What I suspect the goals of the attackers were: the attack was to illustrate to the Indian government how weak it was against a determnined guerilla attack against a major city; the attack was not so aimed at killing civilians as it was for the purpose of securing hostages - so death counts here are not the decisive issue, though they depress ans scare people - success in taking hostages is; a third party (Israel) with plenty of its own issues has been dragged into this mess - if there are American and British hostagews missing, then several third parties have been dragged in. The instant issue (for the terrorists) appears to be Kashmir. At least, that is what intelligence analysts will have to go on until "information gathering" can obtain more data from the terrorists. But in the end, Kashmir may be just a blind to divide Indian Moslems from Hindus. Finally there is the simple goal of these terrorists - striking terror into the hearts of Indians, both leaders and common folk. Chandra's remarks elsewhere about how he would not let the terrorists affect his daily routine are the best weapon in dealing with this goal. It was ours during the height of Arab terror in Israel when we immigrated here. These are just thoughts." What I did not know was "the hostages just released have included Chinese, Japanese, Americans, French, Canadians and other nationalities." I shut the computer off for the Sabbath and only read these observations by Aditi on Saturday night, Jerusalem time a few minutes ago. My observations were based on what I knew at the time. As a human being who has lived through a number of terror attacks, I have a bit of knowledge to contribute. As a person who has friends in India and Pakistan, I have an interest in events in the Sub-continent. I do know that 5 Jews ar dead, and that makes for a very Happy Thanksgiving. Nobody I know takes this kind of joy in the events that have occurred in Mumbai. But, when Arab terrorists murdered Jews in Be'ersheva some years ago, I remember hearing about it at a Jerusalem bus stop - and seeing two Arab women grinning with joy. When everybody else at the bus stop was stricken with sadness at the news of the dead in Be'ersheva, these women wore broad grins on their faces. Nobody attacked those women. Nobody harassed them on the bus. Nobody refused them the right to ride on the bus, for all their obvious contempt of those they rode with. They went home to Jebel Mukabr in safety and quiet on the bus, riding among people who they are happy to see die. Was that the appropriate reaction of the Israelis waiting at the bus station to the attitude of those two Arab women? I'll not express an opinion. But that was the reaction. Moving on, though, mulling over the events in Mumbai will be important, especially in municipal and county police offices in the United States. Minneapolis is an internal port in the upper midwest, and my brother-in-law is a captain with the county police. I hope he and his superiors have the sense to understand that a seaport like New York or Los Angeles may be too obvious a target for copycat terrorists to strike. An internal port, like St. Louis, St. Paul, or Minneapolis might make a better target, as it would preserve some element of surprise. These are strategic considerations that go to the heart of the possibility that the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks Could Become America's Problem. I leave you to consider these points further. There is nothing else for me to say on the matter.

ss: "if you do not have an actual point to make besides frothing and causing trouble " GB: Of course another AMERICAN Jew, (I came to know from your comment #4.) I was just responding to your friend's(Ruvy) comment no.5 - "The BBC are Jew-hating bastards who distort and lie every opportunity they get." and I was supporting my fellow DESI, Aditi for her comment #15. I have no personal hatred against any Human Being. If you still want to contend with me, You can go on, I am ready.

GB, every one has a right to be here. if you do not have an actual point to make besides frothing and causing trouble, kindly sit quietly until you can think of something to contribute. also, keep your jew hating to yourself. else you'll have me to contend with.
