Casablanca, Morocco - A leader of Morocco's Jewish community on Wednesday condemned the "arrogant" killing by Israel of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas, calling it "an act of bestiality" driven by state terrorism.
"The assassination of Sheikh Yassin is an act of bestiality, but worse still is the incredible arrogance of (Ariel) Sharon who claimed responsibility for the crime in the name of the war against terrorism," said Simon Levy, who is secretary general of Casablanca's Jewish community, in a statement.
"Is there any terrorism worse than state terrorism?" asked the Jewish community leader, accusing the United States of "implicitly justifying" the killing of Yassin and recalling that "Hamas is on the (US) list of terrorist organisations.
"Is the organisation which killed (former Israeli prime minister Yitzhak) Rabin on the list?" Levy asked.
"We reject terrorism in any form, wherever it may be and from whatever place of origin."
"Without a political solution (to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict), there will only be terror, extremism and terrorism," said Levy.(more)

1. Why can't American Jews say the same thing ?

It seems like Israel is not a real place, but only a setting for a story in a book read to children.

I would be proud to consider Mr. Levy my co-religionist.

2. I'm an American Jew

I agree with the guy. I just think that it isn't worth it when a Israeli missle kills a terrorist and takes 3 Palestinian kids with it. What did the kids do?


Now, after the assasination of Sheik Yassin, there will probably be a suicide bombing in retaliation. And the cycle of the killing of innocents on both sides continues...

3. "not aiming for the kiddies"

will be the argument that you get no doubt - how anyone can claim "collateral damage" and "we didn't mean to" when firing missiles into crowded areas is completely beyond me.

4. Quite

although I have no doubt Mr. Levy will be called self-hating by some. Truth is, there are plenty of Jews and Israelis who do not agree with Sharon's brand of insanity... sadly the extremists usually shout louder.
