The clash of civilisations

CAN Damien McBride (Irish Examiner letters, July 1) please explain why hundreds of Jews were murdered

Was it also because of ‘radicalisation’ by some right-wing Israeli government, or was it pure Jew hatred.

If it was freedom from the British the Arabs wished for, they seemed to have picked the wrong target?

The people of Tibet have been suffering far greater hardship than any Arab living under Jewish rule, yet the Tibetan people do not blow themselves up on buses and in pizza parlours.

In fact, it is an insult to the honest and law-abiding Arabs who live in Gaza, Judea and Samaria to put them in the same category as these murderers of Jews.

As Hamas and the other terror gangs state, “it is a holy act to kill a Jew in Palestine.” This is not nationalismit is a clash of civilisations with the Western values of Israel on the front line against radical Islam.

If Israel falls, watch out free world!
