Blaming Israel for Mumbai

"The idea that Israel is responsible for the ‘clash of civilizations’ is not unique. It is often pointed out whenever Osama Bin Laden references Israel, which he rarely does, in the context that Israel and the ‘Middle East Conflict’ are fanning the flames of terrorism worldwide. There was no shortgage of voices after the 7/7 London bombings that wanted to show that Israel and the ‘conflict’ had ‘radicalized’ those who carried out the attacks."

"Jonathan Cook, a British journalist based in Nazareth, is the author of Israel and the Clash of Civilizations. He is a frequent contributer to the U.K’s Guardian and Observer as well as Le Monde and The Herald Tribune. In his book he argues that “from the early 1980s, it was Israeli policy to subdue the Palestinians, fragment Arab rivals, and foster ethnic and religious discord to maintain unchallengeable regional dominance.”"

Seth Frantzman of FrontPageMagazine.Com writes concerning the all-too common phenomenon of blaming Israel for Islamic attacks. The latest excuse to whip Israel is the Mumbai tragedy. You can read the article HERE.

The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (Camera) also reported that a recent article in the London Times contained an anti-semitic remark that seemed totally out of context to the Mumbai tragedy:
