Wait. So would any US paper consider any group's violence against Israel to be justifiable on the same grounds that Hubbard's provides? "Many fighters are driven by the Syrian government’s extreme violence and the sense that the world is doing nothing to stop it. " So does the "extreme violence" of Israel justifies the violence by Arab groups in the eyes of Mr. Hubbard? Furthermore, if those terrorists are justifying their terrorism by invoking the "extreme violence" of the Syrian regime, how come they have not moved to action in response to the "extreme violence" of the Zionist usurping entity.
