"Torture anywhere is an affront to human dignity everywhere... I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture."

  • Similar to Israel as a peace loving country trying to get along with their overly hostile neighbours and internal aggressors that antagonize and attack them because they are Jewish.

    Their aggression and tactics are authorized and justified by their fight for survival as a non-hostile victim.

    The outcome is the same, carte blanche for any 'defensive' act committed now matter how incredibly indiscriminate and brutal it may be.
