Intent to Kill

Laid out in considerable detail, this post explores what happened to the deceased Gaza activists.  This is an excellent example of a basic premise: if you want captives, send police; if you want corpses, send soldiers.  Their training is different, and you get what you pay for.

I do not consider Israel a civilized nation.  (I wish it would have been, but sheesh and baksheesh, Germany  is accruing beans faster on the civilized side of the scale.)  I sincerely wish that America would stop sending money there.  It is funding atrocities.  This costs America a lot of civilized beans.

oh, also-- I do wish the UN and Israel had both taken
Ibn Saud's suggestion seriously.
If Israel were in the upper Rhine valley,
there'd be a lot less tension in the world.

That's quite possible.

When multiple options are available, it is prudent to research all of them thoroughly and compare the pros and cons of each, then choose the best. From what I've read of Israel's decision, the location was chosen far more on emotion and political expedience than logic or practicality, and not much forethought was given to problems that might arise (and have indeed arisen, as some people predicted) as a result.
