IN SEARCH OF GOLDA MEIR?

IN SEARCH OF GOLDA MEIR?
This Article was written long back just after the dreaded ATTACKS on Mumbai 26 Nov 2011

What follows in this document is not a story or a description of events neither a
solution to the prevailing problems which have surfaced lately.

It’s my subconscious speaking to me & it’s speaking vociferously……..
This has been since the day Mumbai was stormed by a dozen of unknown men. I
think, personally I am not the same person I was before this incident. I am a scared
Indian who finds himself helpless & insecure every second of his breath.

Few thoughts are consistently echoing in my mind from the past one week, I am
very sure this feeling is shared by millions of Indians today.
My views might not be endorsed by many, but I can say this with absolute certainty
that all lead to one pathway → VENGEANCE.

To many of us Golda Meir is an unknown name. Just 7 days back, it was same for
me. But this story is not about a name but; it’s about what Golda Meir represents &
why do we need to know & revisit her today.

Golda Meir was Israel’s first lady Prime Minister, she was world’s third
women Prime Minister, moreover the first to hold this office without any prior
family political connection. Her colleagues used to call her the ‘best man in the
government’.
================================================
Circa 1974: Munich Olympics, West Germany
================================================
A dark chapter was recorded in the glorious history of Olympics when the Munich
massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, when 11
members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually murdered
by Black September, a Palestinian militant group with ties to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah
organization.
================================================
Circa Nov’2008: Various places, Mumbai, India
================================================
Mumbai the favorite hunting ground of the terrorists allegedly Lashker – e – Toiba
( one of the most active terrorist groups in South Asia today ) was again rocked by a
dozen armed men. They took hostage, fired aimlessly, threw grenades & destroyed

property worth billions. The toll was around 200 including foreign nationals.
Politicians keep on making frivolous statements & perky remarks even before the
ashes of the NSG commandos & the perished souls had not gone cold.

==================
The Act – Part 1:
==================

The massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics by the Palestinian
terrorist group Black September moved Israel to consider measures to deter
future similar actions. Soon after the incident, Prime Minister Golda Meir created
Committee X, a small group of government officials tasked with formulating an
Israeli response.
Operation Wrath of God was a covert operation directed by Israel and the Mossad
( Israel’s CIA ) to assassinate individuals alleged to have been directly or indirectly
involved in the 1972 Munich massacre.

The committee came to the conclusion that to deter future terrorist incidents
against Israel they needed to assassinate those who had supported or carried out the
Munich massacre, and in dramatic fashion.

The intelligence came up with a list of 20 – 25 suspected individuals who somehow
had direct / indirect links with the Munich Massacre.

The dramatic assassinations by Mossad started in the year 1972 & continued till
1990’s.

It’s important to note that the Mossad hired banal officers & even civilians to do the
task. Most of them weren’t even experienced field operatives.
One thing that was common in them was that they were Jews & loved Israel – their
homeland.

==================
The Act – Part 2:
==================

It’s been one week since the Mumbai mayhem took place. & All we can hear is ( in
print , media & word to mouth ) portfolios being shifted & chief ministers being
replaced by their counterparts who see this an ideal political opportunity.

It’s not that nothing is being done, various top secret service agencies i.e FBI ,
Mossad , ISI ( ?? ) are been accosted for help & soon we will have NSG & agencies
at the state level.

But the point is :
• Is that enough?
• Are we prepared for the next attack?
• To what extent should we indulge & collaborate with these foreign secret

services, can we trust FBI or a Mossad. They are linked to us by diplomatic ties &
not by patriotic emotional bond that unites me & you.

& Most importantly !!!

Why will they not attack again??

In Search of Golda Meir:
==========================

“The only safe ship in a storm is leadership.” – Golda Meir

“Every civilization goes through a phase when it needs to compromise on it’s ethics
& values” - Golda Meir

Israel is a very small nation in demographics & geography. Inspite of a turbulent
past it is presently the most sophisticated nation in terms of technology &
advancements. Hats off to the Jewish people who made it happen.

What would have Golda Meir done if she was the Indian premier is what I try to
imagine.

She would have made sure that intelligence & army would trace it back to the day
27th Nov’ 08 was being plotted in a dingy old room in Karachi or in a Terrorist
Training camp in cold freezing deserts of Afghanistan.

She would have made sure we have all the names in the room & all which were
taken & referred to be with us along with the photographs & their present locations.
Mind you each & every name.

She would have made sure that the brains behind the attacks would not only be
taught a lesson but the budding seeds they would have sown in youths & individuals
would feel a deep chill down their spine, even when they think of such acts in the
future.

She would have made sure that all the economics involved with these terrorist
operations be blocked at their origin. No money , no arms , no bombs thereby
paralyzing the whole infrastructure on which this industry is prospering.

She would have made sure that a common individual like me wouldn’t think twice
before taking a local train or maybe dining in a 5 star hotel.

She would have made sure that all the names would have been eliminated in the
most atrocious manner one could ever imagine.
Mind you each & every name.

We earnestly need a Golda Meir ….Don’t we ?

I swear in the name of my great nation that if we find one & she would require men
to undertake those covert operations in order to accomplish the missions & spread a
feeling of security amongst my fellow brothers & sisters.
I’ll be the first one to volunteer only because I love this country & feel proud to
called an Indian.
