26. whos morality...and whos values....
Edited on Tue Jun-05-07 03:08 PM by pelsar
its really quite simple:

kassams and katushas were and are flying into israel...according to intl law as defined by many israel has no real right to stop those missles.....since stopping them due to technolgoies limitations requires civilians to be killed....and that is immoral

conclusion.....intl law has a morality that prefers israeli dead over the other...if i am wrong here then please explain how israel can stop stop the kassams (katushas from lebanon) without breaking intl law.

(should i remind you that the jihadnikim dont wear uniforms, work out of civilians areas, etc)


Hence following intl law will in essence cause more israeli dead. Same can be said for the wall, if it was built on the green line, many israeli would be exposed to the terrorists attacks....same conclusion: following intl law results in more israeli dead.

so which is the more moral? intl law or israel protecting its citizens lives (laws are not always moral: nuremberg laws?).
(and yes on palestenain land....since when is land ownership more important than lives?)
______
just a side note:
If and this is a big if, the same standard was given to the palestenians there might even be something to talk about....but we all know that is not the case. For reasons that remain unclear, intl law and the palestenains never seems to be mentioned in the same sentence
