Elroy, this big distinction between Israelis and Jews is one that you keep making, but Hamas and Hizbullah and that crowd, they don't make it. The guy in the previous articles, as you pointed out, argues that Israeli women are members of the Israeli military, and thus legitimate military targets. He doesn't appear to argue that Jewish non-Israeli civilians, outside of Israel/Palestine, are legitimate "jihadi martyrdom" targets. It seems to me his issue is with Israelis, not with the world's Jews, about half of which are not Israeli. Most of the objections that I read (when I pay attention to this silly tribal fight) are against Zionists and Israelis, and not against Jews in general. It's a distinction worth making. You're willing to make a distinction between Salafist Muslims (a subset) and other Muslims (all of them). You might as well make it between Israelis (a subset) and Jews (all of them).
