How many scientists and academics has Israel assassinated/murdered in the past 10 years?
Anyone have a count?
It goes back much further than 10 years. The case that really made me shudder, with regard to the absolute ruthlessness of the Israelis, was the one where they also killed an entirely accidentally involved bystander (a woman, who I think may have been a sex worker, who witnessed the assassination of the intended target) in order to cover up the assassination of an Egyptian nuclear expert.
I mean, much of this seems to have started with going after dodgy Germans including former Nazis* . Seems like an example of noble-cause ruthlessness sliding into something more questionable. Either way, it's terrifying.
*[Edit] - and, to be honest, I can't help but think anyone who gets involved in actively helping human-rights-abusing despotic regimes develop nuclear weapons probably has to be aware that they are making themselves targets...but it's the "collateral damage" like that woman, or the waiter who was accidentally murdered in the campaign to eliminate the Black September lot, that really emphasises the ruthlessness of it all.
