Kill 'Em All, Let God/Allah Sort Them Out

Right John?

John Aravosis again raises the question of when its appropriate to hold citizens responsible for the actions of their governments. He claims he "hears a lot of talk" about how Israelis are all legitimate targets. I never hear that talk, personally. I think he must hang out with the wrong sort of people. But then, he is a self-admitted hawk.

All I'll say is that throughout the horrific wars of the 20th Century, the majority of human beings agreed that rounding up and shooting a whole village because somebody attacked you is monstrous.

How that applies to both sides in any given conflict, I'll leave up to my readers to decide.
