“Terrorists' families
should be jailed if they fail to alert authorities, says Government's top
terror adviser”
I can't imagine how you get qualified to be a "top
terror advisor" but it sure sounds like this one received his training in
Israel.
Only there, they tear down the families' homes, but there
are quite a number of voices advocating execution.
Good God, what brutal stupidity.
A young man decides, for whatever reason,` to do something
violent and his family is to be held responsible?
Why would this "principle" then not be applied to
all crimes and violence?
After all, "terror" is often indistinguishable
from other violent crimes, the label mostly reflecting arbitrary decisions.
Was the Yorkshire Ripper a terrorist? Were the boys from
Columbine High School? Was Anders Breivik?
Indeed, when it comes to true terror, as measured in human
killing and misery and destruction, is there anyone or anything even close to
the United States and Israel?
