Operation Wrath of God Was a Justified Operation by Israeli Mossad Agents

I understand if Pro is busy, slow replies are not a problem at all. No need to apologize. My argument saying that Operation Wrath of God is not justified comes down to these points:1) It was "an eye for an eye" [1]Israeli general Aharon Yariv described it as "an eye for an eye." This old biblical saying might be acceptable for ancient civilizations but is a barbaric method in modern civilization. Also, the Israelis were focused on revenge, not justice.2) They did not catch the people who were really responsibleAccording to Time magazine "The Israelis had to settle for smaller targets, killing activists who for the most part had nothing to do with the Munich massacre and leaving alive, to this day, some who were involved"[2]. They made many mistakes as to who were responsible and who were not. The process through which Mossad decided who was responsible and who was not was very arbitrary [2] and I don't believe it would ever stand up in an American court system. Essentially, the head of the Mossad, Israel's spy agency, could make the case for a candidate's assassination. The PM and select Cabinet members would say yea or nay. If yea, the hit would be executed by a unit called Caesarea, dubbed by some media the Wrath of God team. [2]3) The death of the athletes was partly Israel's fault for failing to negotiateA country that is willing to negotiate for the release of hostages is far more likely to get those hostages returned. Hard line stances by governments have led to the deaths of hostages many times. Hostage negotiation is a complex art requiring skilled personnel and plenty of preparation in order to get the hostages released [3]. It was easy for the Israeli government to stick their noses up and say that they won't consider negotiating and taking what they felt was the high moral ground. If you were a hostage, wouldn't you want your government to negotiate for your release? According to HowStuffWorks "Although refusing to negotiate with terrorists is often a politically popular idea (no one wants to "give in" to terrorists), it can be disastrous. Even if the government has no intention of granting the demands, the process of negotiating itself is vital to achieving a peaceful resolution. Two of the most horrific hostage incidents in history ended in tragedy in large part due to Russia's outright refusal to negotiate with Muslim Chechen separatists"[3]. 4) They killed civiliansThe Mossad team during Operation Spring of Youth killed two Lebanese civilians: a farmer and his wife. [4] I don't believe that anything can justify killing innocent civilians. They also abducted a Lebanese civilian from the village of Ramia. [4] They also murdered an innocent waiter in Norway.5) It undermined the sovereignty of several nationsLebanon and Norway for a start. They also killed people in Cyprus and France. These countries governments should have supreme authority over all that takes place within their country. Imagine if Mossad came to the United States, and killed innocent Americans claiming that they were responsible for Black September. It would be completely unacceptable.ConclusionIsrael failed to negotiate for the release of the hostages. They just let them die. And then they went on a killing spree violating the sovereignty of not one but several nations and killing innocent civilians to exact their revenge. I don't believe that Operation Wrath of God was justified in any manner.Sources[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://www.time.com...; [3] http://people.howstuffworks.com...[4] http://www.palestine-encyclopedia.com...
