========================================
OK, fair enough....but imho not even close. The Brits were reacting to a dynamic event on their own turf while the Israelis were out-of-bounds and had plenty of time to plan.
I applaud the Israelis for taking the action they did but we really can't (andshouldn't) view the innocent death as anything other than an avoidable tragedy.
Responding to your post, which I caught after that long one of mine...even the best laid plans go awry. Murphy's Law. Clearly that death was a tragedy and an Israeli nightmare on many levels. Ethically, morally, etc.. Yes, actions they took on foreign soil were, to say the least, highly illegal. But what was the alternative? Wait around and hope the assassins would show up in Israel with plans to blow up the Knesset? The retaliation, and the way they did it, was a statement about the lengths Israel was willing to go to protect her citizens, and Munich occurred after a string of horrific hijackings, etc.. It wasn't an isolated event.
In the long run, such tragedies are not avoidable. Sooner or later something goes wrong and innocent people die, whether you're talking about hunting down terrorists, testing new airplanes, or just driving through an intersection enough times to be the unlucky bastard who's there when someone runs a red light.
Whenever military action is undertaken, no matter how justified, it is all but a mathematical certainty that innocent people will die. All we can do at that point is:
a) Make sure we are justified in taking military action;
b) Do whatever we can to prevent/minimize the death of innocents without unduly jeopardizing the mission;
c) Accept whatever deaths of innocents do occur as the tragic cost of doing business;
d) Don't look back.
Anything else is overthinking, second-guessing, or emotional/political grandstanding.
