As a once prominent civil rights activist in Quebec, and a former well listened to Montreal radio talk show host on CIQC; nothing in the media bothers me more than shoddy and inaccurate journalism.
There was no question in my mind that Israel was going to pay a price because of what the Arab Islamic fundamentalists did. And regrettably, I was not wrong.
The comparison goes this way. You can't blame the Christian community for the terror attack launched by McVeigh, any more than you can blame the Islamic Arab world for what happened to the USA on September 11, 2001.
On the 7th of June, 1981, Israel did the world the biggest favor ever. It dispatched F-16 and F-18 fighter jets to Iraq, where they destroyed the French built Osiriq nuclear facility before it went hot.
The world is a place of guile and personal interests, where leaders will make whatever accommodations that are necessary for their own benefit, rather than the benefit of their neighbors, truth, justice and the American way.
On September 11, 2001, an army of well organized fanatical Islamists sent some "kamikaze" soldiers to the United States of America to wreak havoc upon the free world. Their success was spectacular.
