Those Russian tourists were sacrificed for Islam. They didn't have a clue the danger they were in.

The day befo...Brilliant sentiments and all so true. The day before you wrote this I posted this on Facebook on 6th November in response to the Russian jet tragedy:<br /><br />"I feel devastated for the loss of lives that tragically occurred last Saturday when Islamic terrorists exploded the holiday jet over Egypt's Sinai. And I hope that what I am going to post now will not be offensive to those victims and their families. But is anyone else experiencing a frisson of schadenfreude witnessing those British tourists at Sharm el Sheikh airport scrambling to fly back to the UK? These are the same people that happily boycott Israel and refuse to holiday there, yet feel absolutely no moral questioning about holidaying in Muslim countries [eg: Tunisia, Dubai, Egypt] that have (a) dubious airport security checks; and (b) appalling human rights records. The times I have overheard people say they would never go to Eilat for a holiday as they oppose "Israel's occupation", yet happily clamber to visit Sharm, a resort nowhere near as gorgeous as Israel's Red Sea attractions. I am looking at these anti Israel Brits and smiling. They made their beds, now let them lie in it. They should have flown El Al [the safest airline in the world] to the jewelled beaches of Israel [the most beautiful country on the planet.]"fairbrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702683109483194410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-32929630610139496362015-11-07T21:36:40.050+00:002015-11-07T21:36:40.050+00:00This is so true - all of it - and that makes it so...This is so true - all of it - and that makes it so much sadder.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843202413585187301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-10073056545945512242015-11-07T19:56:35.608+00:002015-11-07T19:56:35.608+00:00I was thinking the same thing while vacationing in...I was thinking the same thing while vacationing in Eilat and wondering what the fuck is surprising about Daish putting a bomb in a plane in a region from which they regularly try to fire missiles at Jordan and Israel.

Made special by the experienced Israeli guide who was with us for the duration. Told us he was born in Cyprus because the boat that his pregnant mother was on was turned back by the Brits but he didn't hold that against us. The only disaster was when my elderly sister had her purse lifted by a postcard seller when we stopped at the viewing place which overlooked Jerusalem. As the guide said at the time " Not everyone is holy in the Holy City". Still true regretfully.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12506297417722958165noreply@blogger.com
