Shibboleth!

by Alexander Cockburn

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, out goes the top federal official, the minister for home affairs, Shivraj Patil. He says he should have done better. Popular indignation ratifies his judgment. Since Mumbai is in the state of Maharashtra, the chief minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh, has offered his resignation and his No. 2, R.R. Patil, has quit.

Sir; Thanks for the reminder that the children of Sara taught genocide to the world, and have taken any excuse to kill their fellow human beings and bleed the rest... Should we be surprised, or frightened that others in the world with the same zeal for a different faith have learned the lesson??? Kill them all, said one Pope; and God will recognize his own.... Nits make lice, have said the generals...What is the world coming to??? Have we all become Jews willing to set the lowest price on the highest value, of life??? You know there is no protection from terror except to end its cause, which is injustice... The path we have chosen is the one taken always by the Jews, of killing, and killing and killing -men, women, and children until there are none left alive to tell you of it...Where are the Philistines, the Cananites, the Ammorites, the nation of Gilgal???Will the God of all people ever go looking for them, and find them missing???The more the idea is sold that we can have no peace with this group or that; that they are all ill, or insane, or animals, then every injustice we suffer we will inflict without end... The Muslims kill the Hindu, and the Hindu kills the Muslim...Can anyone believe these people once knew relative peace??? I believe it... People have to be made to hate and kill...People have to feel they have no choice...Often enough they give themselves no choice but to starve or fight... And in that sense at least, killing is natural, even healthy in the sense that it weeds out the weak and sick... But Genocide, no matter how it is practiced, by war or economy kills off the healthy and leaves the sick....Thanks...Sweeney
