Israel “glorifies life”? Explain that to me…no, explain it to the 1,400 dead Gazans Israel killed last year. While you’re at it, you can explain how they “made efforts to prevent collateral damage.”

Hasbara is falling on this website like dirty rain.

What it comes down to is that with all the shortcomings that are pointed out on this blog as well, I’m glad to be on the Israeli side that glorifies life and has rules of engagement that make efforts to prevent collateral damage as opposed to the other side that couldn’t really give a care who dies in its ‘campaigns’ against the Zionist enemy.

And not a word of concern from Fawn about the many innocent Palestinians who have been killed while Israel so morally dispatches its “enemies.” There is nothing ethical in her philosophy; it is entirely narcissistic and self-serving.

Those with my worldview deplore the murder of innocents and celebrate the removal from this earth of those who commit those murders.

Yours is not a ‘moral dimension’ nor a set of ‘ethical guidelines.’ Your philosophy will reap the nihilist amoral whirlwind. You’re in favor of murdering your enemies & allowing your own to get off scot free. While Israeli civilians are “innocent” Israel is not.

You see Mary, clarity IS better than agreement, and you could not be any more clear. Fascinating.

A government agency committing extrajudicial assassination on foreign soil is indeed a violation of international law. Your Mossad chief, and Netanyahu himself, can conceivably be brought to the Hague and charged.

You don’t give a damn about equal anguish, and please spare me the hasbara nonsense about “Israels enemies” and their “atrocities.” Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians vastly outnumber anything any Palestinian has ever done in fighting the occupation. As I have said many times before on this website, the Zionist victim card has been played so many times that it’s beyond dog-eared.

And as for the rest of my day, I will enjoy it much more when the murderers of Mahmoud Mabhouh are brought to justice.

Mary:

If Israel did this, it would not have been a violation of International Law (wishing it to be so does not make it so), it would however be a violation of Dubai law. Thus Dubai could request the extradition of the involved parties should they ever be identified. Hpwever Dubai’s options are limited should the responsible party be Israel, since Dubai has no extradition agreement with Israel.

I await the day when there is equal anguish, indignation and wringing of hands on this website when Israel’s enemies commit their atrocities. As I said before, we live in different moral dimensions. In any case thanks for engaging.

Have a great rest of your day,

Fawn

Gimme a break, please. What nonsense, to compare a soldier in war to a murder committed by a state-sponsored terror group on foreign soil.

I also make it my policy not to debate Goldstone with hasbarists; besides, it is not the subject of this thread.

You are also being willfully dense by claiming Israel had the right to protect its civilians by killing a man in another country. You, like Israel, obviously think that violating international law is OK when you believe it suits your purposes.
