BBC Arabic performing a staggering amount of mental gymnastics attempting to justify that opinion. What's even the goal? Excusing radical Islamic bombings because "The Jews did it first!"??

Did you read the original? On the anniversary of 9/11 they published a side article talking about a timeline of suicide attacks throughout history. The Jewish far right objected that they were listed among the others (even though they literally celebrate those fanatics).
