Toulouse attacks were definitely not random

Former Canadian politician Stockwell Day was at the Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai when he heard of the terror attack in Toulouse. The Oberoi was one of the hotels attacked by Pakistani Muslim terrorists in 2008 (that's not it in the picture - that's the Taj Mahal). Day reports that while in Mumbai he visited the Chabad House that was a part of the same terror attack. It's clear to him that the terrorists went out of their way to murder Jews, and he is sure that the same is true in Toulouse (he wrote this before we knew that the Toulouse murderer was a Muslim of Algerian background). He says it's time we stop pretending otherwise.
Remember,innocent Jews at their Chabad in Mumbai were also slaughtered that day. Even in the face of the horrific death rate of that event there were voices at that time in the media suggesting the Chabad killings were ‘random’.

I have visited that holy place. It was difficult to find,embedded down the never ending side streets of Mumbai’s twisting urban sprawl. It is not even close to the Oberoi or Taj Hotels,where so many innocents of many creeds and cultures were exterminated en masse by the cowardly but planned attacks that day.

Whatever we discover about these recent Toulouse assassinations, let nobody even hint they were not planned,or that they were random.

This was not a case of momentary road rage or the crossfire of an inter gang drug feud. That would have been heartbreaking enough.

As with almost all such attacks on Jewish people,this was planned,premeditated and methodically perpetrated.

A wonderful rabbi and beautiful children were massacred for one reason and one reason only - they were Jews.

Every one of us who is not Jewish must link arms in a virtual and virtuous circle of protection of the Jewish people around the globe, wherever they live.

Those who allow toxic anti-Semitic thoughts to brew chillingly deep within their depraved hearts and minds must know beyond all doubt that we will not allow Jews to stand,and sometimes perish, alone.
Read the whole thing. And don't hold your breath waiting for all the goyim (gentiles) to love us. It won't happen.

Carl, may I respectfully point out that the author of that short, powerful essay, Stockwell Day, is a goy, as am I. As a Christian, I'm far from alone in looking upon Judaism and Christianity as mother and daughter and Jews as my brothers and sisters.

Captain.H,

We have a name for people like you and Stockwell Day and Giulio Meotti. It's called "Hasidei Umoth HaOlam" or the 'righteous among the nations' (or more simply 'righteous gentiles') in English.

No, Yad Vashem didn't make that name up - it's been around for a long time.

It's because we greatly appreciate you (the word 'righteous' is not tossed about lightly by Jews), but you are unfortunately and very definitely the exceptions rather than the rule.
