“According to Bergman< Israeli covert agencies have undertaken targeted assassinations against "Arab adversaries throughout its pre- and post-statehood periods".[4] They have assassinated more people than any western country since World War II,[3]
carrying out "at least" 2,700 assassination operations in the seventy-year period since Israel's formation.[2]
"Poisoned toothpaste that takes a month to end its target's life, armed drones, exploding mobile phones, spare tires with remote-controlled bombs, assassinating enemy scientists and discovering the secret lovers of Muslim clerics," are among the methods described in the book used by Israel to carry out.”
I can’t help but think a vicious circle of revenge killings would emerge as a result...sad.
“Pollack describes the end of the book as showing targeted killing is like an addictive drug which just cures the "worst symptom (terrorism) of a terrible disease (Palestinian anger)" but does not cure the disease itself.”
