Lines: 13 Xref: watmath net.religion.jewish:1257 net.politics:6824 Sicherman is simply bananas. In 1948 the Jewish community of Yahudyah in Libya was attacked by a gang of rampaging Muslims. My mother and my uncle Madmun were there. The Jews had done nothing and the Muslims just attacked. My uncle was killed and my mother gunned down the Arab animal who did it. Is Sicherman telling me that my mother was wrong to give the scum what he deserved? I will admit my grandmother was angry at my mother that the Muslim bastard died too fast. Suppose that Tutu had been expressing sympathy for people who had murdered part of Sicherman's family and who had been degrading humiliating, or persecuting his people for the past millenium. I suspect Sicherman might have been just a little bit peeved. So skip the hypocritical holier-than-thou commentary.
