But they didn't. Instead, they got on a plane from Japan, flew to Paris, and then got on another plane and took it to Tel Aviv. This is a good indication of just how much more acute the situation is here.
Nor was this the only instance where foreigners decided to murder Israelis. Those who took over the Air France flight included two members of the "German Revolutionary Cells".
It is interesting how many people from throughout the world are concerned about Israel "preserving civil liberties". Frankly, I would consider being allowed to continue living to be among those basic civil liberties.
