How nice to know that whoever sponsored Mr. Shabtai to come and talk about "terrorism" has sunk our University community to a new low in debauchery, misinformation and immorality.
In the name of "free speech," a representative of "Murder and Torture Inc.," Mr. Shabtai, comes to tell Memphis all about terrorism, a topic he knows quite well -- considering the identity of his former employer, the Israeli Mossad, and its infamy in terms of assassinations, terror and torture.
The Daily Helmsman cow-tows along like a group of starving children running for a missionary's handful of candy, printing maps on the front page of its January 26th issue depicting the world of "terror" in U.S. fictional propaganda, that world of Arabic, Farsi and Islam. You would do better to do some research, and to provide the University community with a picture of the Pentagon when representing the seat of world terrorism, if you have even selected an operational definition for the word, that is.
Israel is currently shelling Palestinian civilian areas with tanks on a nightly basis, shooting children twelve and over in the head with explosive bullets and 800-millimeter rounds and rocket-attacking civilian infrastructure in Palestine.
While many of us enjoyed the Christmas holidays, Israeli military personnel were engaged in the daily shelling of two of the most ancient churches in Christianity in the town of Bethlehem, Palestine -- a town Israel illegally occupies.
This occupation and the wanton destruction and murder that goes along with it are products of Mossad and its brand of "intelligence."
Who will have the guts in the world to impose sanctions on Israel a la Iraq or Yugoslavia? Why the double standards?
The next time, maybe whoever the small-minded propaganda minister who invited Mr. Shabtai on campus was, maybe s/he could also invite Timothy McVeigh, as he is also an "acclaimed terrorism expert", though not necessarily a "noted author."
Who killed Mohammad Al Durra? The greatest terror threat in the Middle East... the Fundamentalist Zionists and their ragamuffin band of assassins called "mossad".
