So, they arrest them, try them in a court of law (with appropriate witnesses, defense lawyers, and a jury of their peers), convict them, and sentence them to ... what? ... being sprayed with bullets in their car, or hit with a tank shell, possibly alongside anybody else who happened to be in the same building? I rather think they skip some "due process", and go straight to the spraying with bullets and lobbing of tank shells. It's the same as the other side does (except they can't afford tanks), and is not any sort of moral high ground. >And it's not being done in the name of religion. Israel is a secular state. Maybe so. But if so, you win the pedant award for this week. Stephen. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
