Operation Wrath of God

[Topkick]

Just watched this, an interesting video about Operation Wrath of God. It helped (refresher) me to understand a little better about the problems between Isrealis and Palestinians.

It's a fascinating story. The Spielberg movie Munich is a good but simplified movie about the event.

I have not watched Munich, but it's now on my list.

Mossad and assassination. It's not always about what's ethical...sometimes it's about having the steel to do the unethical to protect your people and your interests. What is "ethics" anyway, in the great game? Sacred rhetoric in public, discarded at will in the execution of national imperatives.

Even with the "what is ethical" argument, the state has a duty to protect its citizens. If the only way you can do that is by elimination of a threat. Well it's no different then firing a missile from a predator drone into someone's home. Dead is dead...

I've got no problem with state sponsored assassinations, shit it would be a hellova lot cheaper then those hellfire missiles we currently use. Hell sub that shit out to some bearded nuckle dragger at half the cost of a predator strike, and everyone walks away happy!

We used to do it... when we had balls...

I read that the Isrealis send flowers to the family just prior to the assassination. Ruthless.

Be aware it's not that accurate.

Yeah, I just read that it's only based on a true story.

 

[SpitfireV]

It's stil a very well made movie though.

One word brother, Spielberg.

That's true. A nice touch, IMV.

Yeah, Munich is not a documentary, does less on the nuts and bolts and more on the emotion and background.
