Oh well, I guess I’m proud to be an “ultra-leftist” then, as I try to have empathy with every fellow human being, though not necessarily sympathy with their views. But then, it’s always been a hallmark of the “ultra-right” that they never want to know the difference.

I’m not sure if the folks at Chabad were chosen for attack because they are Jews, or because they are – or are perceived to be – foreigners, just like the Western victims in the hotels. In reference to the latter, nobody is talking of “anti-Christianism” (if in fact they were Christians). If the point was, as you say, to advance an agenda that has nothing to do with Jews and Judaism, it makes little sense to single out the Jewish victims.
The answers in your statement. The Jews (Israel) aka ”Israelis” are NOT ‘native’ to or ‘natives’ of Kashmir they are ”foreigners” as you put it, so call them what you like ‘jews’ or ‘foreigners’ the important point not to miss is that they are essentially non natives of Kashmir i.e they Non-Kashmiris and are percieved as such so any attack weather on ‘jews’ or non-jews is essentially an attack on a ”foreigner”, but oh what a clever little game the so called ‘jews’ are trying to play on the Kashmiris.
