> Wife of Assassinated Scientist: Annihilation of Israel "Mostafa's Ultimate Goal"



Who needs justice when there are obscure and author-less articles floating around the internet to justify the killing of civilians?

Remember this goes both ways. There are people who think American civilians assisting the occupation in Iraq are legitimate targets. I am not one of those people.


> American civilians assisting the occupation in Iraq

That's a euphemism for "private military contractors", which is a euphemism for "mercenaries". Legitimate targets? As much as any, really.


No I meant the kind of people that refill vending machines at US camps.


You're clearly not aware of this but Fars News Agency is essentially a mouthpiece for the Iranian regime. This is a propaganda piece.

Authorless? Check.

Obscure? Check.

A legitimate news source? No.

A basis to judge the value of a human life? Most definitely not.


Hmm ok let's get more concrete.

It would have been unjustifiable in your view for Japan to have assassinated Oppenheimer during his time at Los Alamos, yes or no?
