ISRAEL SUFFERS FROM MUNCHHAUSENS SYNDROME BY PROXY
First they cause the problem. Then they milk the world for sympathy!--TRB
From the article below: "The killing of Jews and the bombing of the synagogues in Turkey will only serve the interests of Israel and those against Arabs and Muslims, says Ahmed Al Rub'ie in Ashraq Al Awsat (UK-based). The explosions are a present to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the Zionist media machine to refocus public attention away from the atrocities by Israel and its policy of colonisation against the Palestinians, he adds."

Arab Perspective: Synagogue bombings will only serve Israeli interests
Ê|ÊBy Dr Marwan AsmarÊ|Ê21/11/2003

The recent explosions at the two synagogues in Turkey raised many questions about future relations between Muslims and Jews and casts doubt on the political relations of countries of the region. Dr Marwan Asmar of Gulf News Research Centre looks at what the Arabic press has to say.
In its editorial, Al Sharq (Qatar) says its country denounces the attacks on the two synagogues in Turkey as acts that will inflame unrest in the Middle East. The attacks are against the three monotheistic religions as well as human and moral values.
Amr Moussa, Secretary-General of the Arab League, condemned the attacks but also held Israel responsible for incitement against terrorism that does not seem to be abating. Al Sharq adds American losses in Iraq do not suggest the war against terrorism is over as Washington claims, but is intensifying. The only way to deal with what is happening in Iraq is not through further military means but by political dialogue.
The daily goes on to point out the attacks in Istanbul, which killed and injured 277, will only increase cooperation between Turkey and Israel in the field of security, and maybe lead to a harsher Turkish stand with regard to Iraq. Al Sharq concludes this will be in the interests of Israel that would like to launch a war against everything that is Arab.
The killing of Jews and the bombing of the synagogues in Turkey will only serve the interests of Israel and those against Arabs and Muslims, says Ahmed Al Rub'ie in Ashraq Al Awsat (UK-based). The explosions are a present to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the Zionist media machine to refocus public attention away from the atrocities by Israel and its policy of colonisation against the Palestinians, he adds.
What will happen now is that the Palestinian question will be swept aside, and the debate will move on from denouncing Israel to sympathising with the victims of the synagogue explosions.
The bombing of religious places, for whatever reasons, is rejected, as the targets are always innocent civilians. Islam is not at war with other religions, but in a justified conflict against those who occupy Arab lands, states Al Rub'ie.
Israel lied and the world believed it when it said it was a Jewish state; Zionism lied and the world believed it about the Jews being one community despite all the historical facts that prove they are different communities with many cultures.
He warns the Zionist media will take the opportunity and launch an attack against Islam and Muslims rather than on terrorists and try and change European opinion that has recently been against Israel.
Hazem Saghiyah in Al Hayat (UK-based) starts off by quoting the well-known Israeli Haaretz daily which suggests the different Palestinian organisations, except for the Abu Nidal faction, have long been against targeting Jews abroad.
Quoting the paper, the columnist says even the terrorist operations of Hamas and Islamic Jihad were inside Israel and not against the Jews in the world. Saghiyah asks what precisely was the objective behind the booby trap explosions outside the synagogues. If it was to worsen Turkish-Israeli relations, the complete opposite happened.
The Turkish police are now busy arresting individuals from the Arab community living in Turkey, there are greater security checks of Arab travellers going back to their country and Mossad agents are helping the Turkish security forces in the investigation.
Turkish-Arab relations have again taken a backseat. The government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyep Erdogan is now likely to deal more cautiously with the Arabs and Europe is almost certain to lend a more attentive ear to the American and Israeli points of view which will now speak of terrorism against Semitism.
Those who would like Turkey to become an Islamic bridge among the world cultures are being impeded. Those that wanted to create a wedge between Sharon's policies and the Jews of the world are also being thwarted.
Mohammad Naji Amayreh, writing in Al Watan (Oman), says nobody will approve of any attack on religious places whatever the reasons. They must be denounced and the perpetrators must be found. It is not a question of a conspiracy theory, but there are terrorist organisations who actively plot to act on holy places.
Amayreh says he does not think anybody in Turkey has an interest in carrying out the bomb explosions outside the synagogues for the country is a secular state with people free to practise their religions despite the fact that the majority of the population is Muslim. And the Muslim religion rejects any attacks on other religions and believes in a dialogue of cultures.
Surely the terrorist organisations which have carried out the attacks cannot be regarded as Muslims or pertaining to Islam, their idea being to show Turkey as incapable of providing security and stability for its people, and Jews as weak and targeted people who will have no other choice but leave for a more secure place which would be Israel.
