So, what is the difference....

[JayMcGee]

During WW2, the Nazi's in Occupied France would often, in reprisal for Resistance fighters' attacks, pull out a ranndom selection of French civillians, put them against a wall, and shooting them.

This became know as 'collective punishment', which was quickly banned by the newly-formed UN immediately after WW2 . The very same UN then instigated the Nuremberg trials for crimes against Humanity and set about creating the state of Israel.

During recent days, the Isreali Defence Force has carried out random attacks on the civilian popualation of Lebannon in reprisal for resistance attacks on its troops.....

Presumably, the fact that you cannot actually see the face of the innocent you are killing makes it more palatable, justifiable and indeed more random.....


And that, I guess is the difference between Israel and the Nazi's.....

Israel is less-selective in its death-dealing.
