"The police is checking out suspicions that the leader of the "Haifa underground", Eliran Cohen, sought the blessing of several Rabbis for his anti-Arab activities, which included a series of bombings. The mattrer arose in Cohen's preliminary interrogations following his arrest. However the police have not yet completed this line of inquiry.

Channel 2 TV reported this (Thursday) evening that Cohen told his interrogators he wanted "everyone to know" about his activity and therefore turned to Rabbis in northern Israel as well as the territories, whom he asked to approve his intention of murdering Arabs. He also contacted extreme-right activists and families of terror victims, whom he asked to finance his activity. According to Channel 2, the police has intelligence corroborating the suspicion that the Rabbis and activists knew about Cohen's actions and did not report them."

"Eliran Golan, 22, of Haifa was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of bombing a mosque, the car of an Arab MK and other Arab targets in the city. A search of his home and the shelter beneath it revealed a huge store of explosives and a bomb workshop. He told invrestigators that he had acted out of hatred for Arabs."

1. You make a good point.

Israel targets Jewish terrorists as well. If Israel was really an anti-Arab nation, wouldn't they give silent approval to Jewish terrorists and not stop them?

2. When they start targeting the terrorists who

kill young women with bulldozers, terrorists who knock down people's orchards and their houses without regard to whether anyone's inside, and terrorists who shoot small children and delay ambulances, then maybe you'll have something.

3. Your charges are not supported by the evidence

5. I think you should check with Uri Avnery about that.

6. Actually

The main reason I've seen given for this crackdown is that a successful "mega-terror" attack by Jewish terrorists (there have been dozens of smaller ones during the Intifada II) would be "disaster" down on Israel, thanks to the obvious problems vis a vis international opinion.

As for Israel being an "anti-Arab nation", I haven't seen that charge levelled by anybody with more than 3 braincells, so I fail to see why you're rebutting it.

In any case, Israel barely needs it's own terrorists - it has a state. Before Israel was created, there was Jewish terror all over the place (and for several decades afterward - perhaps up to the present).

You can draw the obvious future analogies.
