Terror in Paris Die schreckliche Terrorserie in Paris, die weit über einhundert Todesopfer forderte, ist in Israel mit großer Sympathie für die Franzosen begleitet worden. In Tel Aviv versammelten sich spontan einige Tausend Israelis vor dem Rathaus, das in Solidarität mit dem trauernden Volk die Farben der französischen Flagge trug. Militärische Analysten warfen der Regierung in Paris indes vor, die warnenden Zeichen nicht ernst genommen zu haben. Frankreich könne aus der Erfahrung, die Israel mit dem Terror seit Jahrzehnten macht, lernen. Why Paris? (…) Paris— if nothing else— stands for free socie­ty. That is why Paris is under attack.

ISIS must be recognized for what it is – a barbaric terror­ist organization seeking to establish a radical cali­phate throughout the Middle East. It must be stopped. Editorial, JPO, 15.11.15 Welcome to World War Three (…) we are in the midst of World War III.(…) This i s a war between jihadist Islam and Western civiliza­tion; a war between radical Islam and all those who refuse to surrender to its values and political de­mands.(…) This is what the third world war will look like, which Israel has been a part of for a while now. (…). France was the target of a combined assault of radical Islam not just because it has a tradition of human rights and freedom of movement, but be­cause France and French culture symbolize every­thing that radical Islam is afraid of and is in an all-out war against.(…) Huge quantities of arms and a m­1
