The BBC is, as always, a disgrace.
Jihad suicide bombers aren’t imitating the sicari. They’re acting upon the promise in the Qur’an: “Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Jews were original suicide bombers, BBC says in article on 9/11 attacks,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, September 15, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Arabic site claimed that Jews were the original “suicide bombers,” in an article titled “the story of suicide bombers throughout history: From the fanatical Jews, through the assassins, to the jihadists.”
The story, which was released on the 22nd anniversary of the al-Qaeda attack on the United States states, “It is believed that the first suicide attacks in history were carried out by a group of Jewish fanatics who spread terror among the Romans and Jews after the Romans occupied Jerusalem.”
The article went on to describe how Jewish “Sicari” attacked Roman occupiers and Roman allies with knives hidden in their clothing; despite knowing that the attacks would result in their execution.
Adding to the overall theme of suicide via militant action, the article makes note that the Sicari fled to Mount Masada; where they killed themselves to avoid Romans enslaving them.
The article goes on to describe the use of suicidal military tactics throughout time, including the Narodnaya Volya revolutionary group which orchestrated the bombing that killed Tsar Alexander II in 1881….

Seems like totally irrelevant information to me although, since the left at present have such a groovy fad for hating Jewish people, the BBC would love to publish this useless information. Who cares who were the first suicide bombers? In our present day world, they are almost all Muslims, which is what matters to their present day victims throughout the world. These days, it is islam and its followers that provide 99% of suicide bombers..

On point as usual, tim gallagher.
Moral equivalency reasoning, which the BBC is simply superb at, is invariably evidence of deficiency in the ethical realm.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Wellington. To me, it seemed like a totally irrelevant historical curiosity but the left wing Jew haters at the BBC would have loved putting this load of garbage out there to defame Jewish people, no doubt one of the left wingers (along with the Muslims) favourite sports. This hatred for Israel and for the Jews is certainly a fashionable thing these days. If the BBC leftist wankers, or our version of the BBC here in Australia, the ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, based on the BBC, are against you, then you must be doing something right because they are always backing the destructive Marxist side on every issue. Thanks, mike, for your support.
Michael Copeland says
The BBC, according to Jayell commenter here, is “crawling with muslims”.
tim gallagher says
Probably right, Michael. I think that work places like the BBC and the ABC are magnets for very left wing types, because they will be among their fellow left wing wankers, but diversity is also a big deal here in Australia at the ABC so there would be plenty of Muslims hired I am sure. No doubt the same at the BBC. I suspect the BBC and ABC are almost clones of one another and spend their time trying to sell the same far left bullshit.

The BBC, as an outpost of UK Foreign Policy and committed Arabists, have always defamed Jews and Israel.

Jihadists are following the commands of their god e.g. .Quran 9.111,Jews are not, that is the major difference.
Tery says
the unhinged slander against Jews from everywhere is ridiculously stupid and malicious . i dare say its satanic driven (because of covenant and messiah who crushes the serpent)
Jerry says
By a strange coincidence, Muslims and Blacks are gugely and disproportionately over represented in relation to the Vritish population at the state owned and financed BBC
