Seriously, Dr. Malone? You are going to accuse Israel of an ethical breach for targeting Hezbollah terrorists???? The operating principle for the entire Islamic terrorist campaign against the State of Israel, which is doctrinally and unapologetically committed to Israel’s complete annihilation, is to target Israeli civilians!!!!

In many ways I agree with you. However, Americans are a target of terrorist. Will we now have second thoughts when we purchase a desktop, laptop or a cell phone. If just one American citizen is injured or killed in this manner the fear factor will go off the charts. One thing I appreciate about Dr. Malone is his insistence on maintaining a moral center. Otherwise we become just like the terrorist.

The odds are so against what you say. Untargeted terrorism has no "shelf life". Stop worrying about the improbable. It is more devastating if you let yourself be in these peprpetrators' thrall. The Tylenol terrorist murders did not stop people from buying medications, although that would have been much easier to continue doing than installing self destruct mechanisms in computers. They are much more likely to steal your $$$ than hurt you.

Agree...it's existed for a long time that explosives can be placed in electronic devices and then triggered remotely!!! I'm sure rogue governments have used this for years, and possibly even our own. This is not the first time this technology has been used...but as we know...if Israel uses it, then it's bad. There is no moral center in war times whether we like to admit that or not. Win the war first and then correct your morals...if you lose the war there is no morality left anyway...what if Hitler had continued to win and dominate. Obviously, it is best to leave innocent civilians out of this and the women and children, that is terrible.

I am not sure anymore about being target of external terrorists since our own government agencies are against us. I am not sure if the threat from the outside is greater than the threat within to quash our freedom….oligarchs, deepstate, msm,

Can’t disagree at all. The threat within is the greatest threat in my view. That does not mean that the terrorist threat is not real. It is.

Agree with Linda....interesting posting. I thought all was fair in love and war. Israel was initially attacked and had brutally slaughtered women and children...so what do their tormentors expect in return? In our Revolutionary War, the British were quite upset that out patriots fought from the brushes and the brambles and targeted British military leaders...who won that war? War is ugly and those that start them should be prepared for any response, and sadly, there will be atrocities on all sides.

Dr. Malone has studied ethics and is probably aware that, as painful as it is to accept, an "eye for an eye" mentality among men just results in a lot of blind people. Retaliatory violence is not the way to solve the problem of violence. Humanity, though, may never learn this lesson.

Easy to say about the ethics of war, but let's not forget how Israel was attacked first in an unusually cruel manner. Sometimes, you need a lot of blind people (eye for eye). The old saying is it takes two to fight...I disagree....it takes one to fight, and the other to defend...you're forced into a fight. IMO, if forced into a fight, there are no limits. No greater friend in peacetime, and no greater enemy in wartime.

The sentiments you express are very common and widely supported. And this is one reason it is so difficult to end human-on-human violence. Maybe it's not worth ending. Some people find fighting kind of fun.

But the finding I have been taught is that it actually takes THREE to start a serious cycle of violence. There are the two actually doing the fighting, then there is a covert (secret) third party egging both of them on. The third party sees both sides as dangerous and so comes up with the "solution" of getting them to fight each other. I am convinced that this is a more complete understanding of why people resort to killing each other.

When it comes to something like Zionism versus Palestine, the roots of this go back who knows how far into the past. Each side uses the last attack to justify their next act of violence. And each act of violence weakens both sides. If we see this as the desired result of human-on-human violence, then we can see how the criminal mind might be attracted to it. If you can get Hamas to act as crazy as they have, though, you have created a situation that could last very close to forever. Of course most women (but not all), children and old people want to have nothing to do with all the bloodshed and can see in their own lives how destructive it is. But in the end the men see fighting as a part of their job, and seem willing (sometimes even eager) to do it regardless of the human cost.

Every time people who think they know more than anyone else are allowed to remap the globe the world has to live with the consequences. Israel another example. Whether you agree or not with its creation, it is there and now its existence has to be tolerated, either diplomatically or militarily. Or accept another holocaust.

“An eye for an eye” is not a retaliatory statement, but rather the standard that is used in biblical Law, and in our laws, which keeps the punishment equal to the law which was broken—life for life, not life for stealing my sheep.

Larry Cox's avatar

Yes, but the whole concept of punishment or retribution "in kind" or otherwise has not served us well. It has been discovered that many people who commit crimes want to be caught and punished, as they refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and so expect someone else to prevent them from doing bad things. However, when such people are "freed," they just go back to doing the same bad things. They have no self-control.

Of course this goes against our natural instinct to strike back if struck. To restrain oneself from doing so is considered saintly, and is not expected of "normal" people. But of course striking back only continues the violence.

I fully support Dr Malone's pertinent analysis, THIS IS CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Do not try to muzzle us, if you don't like it, GET OUT.

No one is questioning his freedom of speech. Wake up and grow a pair. They are just questioning the content of his writing. I don't agree or disagree with what he wrote, and he puts out facts and his perspective on some of the facts. So what if some agree or disagree with his viewpoint. Not everyone is in lockstep with one another, nor should be. So don't misinterpret and escalate the matter by stating that anyone suggested Dr. M should be muzzled. What a jokester. Yes, I'm calling you out, push back on you're inciting misinformation and accusations. And no, I will not respond further. Never argue with an ignorant person...they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience....Mark Twain.

Comments made earlier thought that Dr. Malone's subscriptions would dwindle, and at least one commenter hopes this will be so.

Another commenter yelled at Dr. Malone for his article content--multiple exclamation marks--and another said how very angry they are with him.

I have noticed here today that if you say any sentence criticizing or truthfully talking about Israel's actions, you are set upon by a pack of wolves. No free speech here today.

The difference between Israel, the IDF, and Mossad is that none of those TARGET civilians, civilians are collateral because the godless goatherds carry out their offenses from within their civilians (an action that seems to be acceptable to the godless goatherds civilians). Now, if there’s an argument to be made that Israel and her actors sent the frangible pagers to the children …

Anyway, writing this Wednesday afternoon, the news has been breaking since I was on the road this morning that a 2nd wave of frangible devices (exploding radios) caused havoc across Lebanon and throughout hezbollah. This sounds like an interesting technological flanking maneuver: attack from one direction (we’ll call it the front), get the enemy (godless goat-herders) to change direction, tactics (toss their safe pagers, switch to radios) and then a couple days later detonate the radios.

The bloodthirsty militarist in me is enjoying the mental image I’m conjuring: whereas pagers can be used at arm’s length (unless you’ve got my bad eyes) I’m imagining radios being held up to the godless goatherd’s ear - hence that eternal case of tinnitus.

In addition to my continued concern for the nation of Israel and her people, I’m now concerned for the innocent manufacturers of the pagers and radios. Godless goatherd fury will need to be vented and who better for godless goat-herders than defenseless tech firms - unless the godless goatherders can find another love fest concert full of children.

Almost all the victims of Israel's genocide are women and children. 40,000 so far with estimates of up to 200,000. If what you say is true, that they don't target women and children, then the "best" most "humane" armed force in the world needs to improve it's target accuracy.

Brainwashed? Are you suggesting there is anything factually untrue in saying that terrorists target civilians, and that Arab terrorists targeting Israeli civilians are doctrinally and unapologetically commited to Israel’s annihilation? Or perhaps you don’t think Israel has a right to exist? Just wondering . . .
