Tom Gross: If This Isn’t Terrorism, What Is? There was nothing accidental about this attack.
Tom Gross: “It was a meticulously organized operation aimed exclusively at civilian targets: two hospitals, a train station, two hotels, a leading tourist restaurant, and a Jewish center.”
“There was nothing remotely random about it. This was no hostage standoff. The terrorists didn’t want to negotiate. They wanted to murder as many Hindus, Christians, Jews, atheists, and other infidels as they could, and in as spectacular a manner as possible. In the Jewish center, some of the female victims even appear to have been tortured before being killed. SO WHY ARE SO MANY PROMINENT WESTERN MEDIA RELUCTANT TO CALL THE PERPETRATORS TERRORISTS?”
..
“Meanwhile, perhaps EVEN MORE DISGRACEFULLY, a New York Times report on the last day of the siege stated: ‘IT IS NOT KNOWN IF THE JEWISH CENTER WAS STRATEGICALLY CHOSEN OR IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL HOSTAGE SCENE.’”
“HAS THE NEW YORK TIMES LEARNED ANYTHING since the Holocaust when, even after the war ended in the spring of 1945, the paper infamously refused to report that the Hungarians, Czechs, Slovaks, Germans and so on killed in the camps had been Jews, and killed as Jews?”
“Dozens of eyewitness accounts by local Indians said the gunmen shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ from the Jewish center. It is housed in a non-descript block and is not obviously marked from the outside as a Jewish center. It is the one Jewish building in a densely crowded city of millions. And the Times, the self-proclaimed paper of record, wants to let readers think it might have been ‘an accidental target’?”
“Even the Times’s British equivalent, the Guardian, began its news story: ‘The inclusion of the headquarters of an ultra-orthodox Jewish group WAS OBVIOUSLY INTENDED TO SEND ITS OWN MESSAGE.’ “
“Does the New York Times think that the seeking out and murder by Muslim terrorists of the only New York rabbi in Mumbai and his wife was an accidental target?”
“Indeed there was nothing accidental about any of the seven sites that the terrorists attacked… [Mumbai] is the most multi-religious city in India..”
