Iran condemns 'Israeli spy' to death

[luckytxn 2,265]

that would be the prudent thing to do.

Yeah. 4 bullets instead of just 1in the head does send a message.

So if yr an American citizen named Furkan Dogan jokes get cracked about yr ruthless, savage butchery at the hands of the IDF. But if yr Eli Cohen, there's much wailing and gnashing of teeth that those horrid a-rabs would execute you, when they caught you red-handed, in the middle of an intelligence transmission of spy stuff. That alone would make it exceedingly difficult to put on a defense, and was probably a whole lot more insurmountable than anything the Syrians could have thrown at him in a rigged trial. Far less dubious circumstances than what the US had executed the Rosenbergs in a few years earlier anyways.

If you're an American citizen, you probably shouldn't be on a terrorist flotilla headed for the Gaza Strip ruled by a terrorist group.

Israel's government is the only good terrorist group, coz, like Pakistan, it's got nukes.

Is the destruction of Palestine a central tenet of the Israeli government? Oh wait, but the destruction of Israel is one of the precepts of Hamas. So who is the terrorist here?

Clearly, it is.

[The_Dude 1,142]

Clearly, it is.

So you're back to just making sh!t up now? Nice.

No, you should be on a peaceful protest flotilla so you can get shot in the head.

You're still in denial. Sux.

[IR5FORMUMSIE 850]

That's how they roll.

Eli Cohen, Z"L, hanged by Syria in 1965. No defense allowed at his "trial", no family presence, no return of his body. Just a summary execution. Butchers.

He knew the job was dangerous when he took it. He was a spy and spies are executed, that's about it. I have yet to see anything that states that he didn't do it. He was pushed into making sloppy mistakes by Mossad but that's neither here nor there. His body should be returned, if anyone knows where it is.

Sorry, I like to deal in reality. You seem to have deviated from reality from the onset of this, or any thread that either shows Israel in a positive light, or shows any Muslim in a negative one. Israel is no angel in this conflict, nor should it be treated as one. But for you to call it a terrorist group, on par with Hamas is absurd.

no matter what you might think about either topic, there is a difference between being killed in a hostile situation and being under arrest.

What is the normal penalty for espionage, in any country? Sure, we don't do the executions these days but that's hardly unusual. Mati Hari ring a bell? What's your take on civilian deaths?
