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.
