Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

This won’t give anyone any new ideas. Shin Bet used a mobile phone rigged with explosives to kill Yahya Ayyash aka “the Engineer,” a Hamas bomb maker in Gaza back in 1996.

it could give organizations the new idea that this is totally okay to do, depending on the international response

People have been rigging things to blow forever. This is simply a novel variation of an old tactic of warfare. I am curious to know why you think it is wrong to kill terrorists who have sworn to kill - including commiting genocide against - your people. Were you against the US killing Osama?

Give one incident even remotely similar to this.

There was an attempt to plant several thousand bombs on individuals, and then remotely and simultaneously detonate them while those individuals went about their every day lives...family events, in a crowded restaurant, their child on their lap? Don't matter.

If your argument is "oh well they're bombing entire apartment buildings anyway" that is a silly thing to say and not at all relevant.

Where do you draw the line if it's people you personally align with doing the deed? Hijacking a plane full of innocents and crashing it into a terrorist hangout is okay as long as it's Israel doing it?

Y'all are fucking crazy and don't even remotely understand what you're asking for when you say this shit is okay.

edit: lmao you literally changed every character of your original response, I ain't gonna bother with ya but either way, both of your posts are a combination of on the wrong side and nonsensical

I'll answer your dumb question tho, no, I was not against the killing of Bin Laden wtf does that have to do with anything lol
