i never said that context had to be excluded from evaluating individual actions. what i said is that good and bad don't follow racial / religious / other background lines as you originally stated when you put forth the false statement that not supporting israel meant one was pro arab and muslim. >>Would you say that bombing german cities during world war II was indecent and the wrong thing to do?<< in context, i would say that the right thing to do was to not finance hitler, not provide hitler with database capabilities (IBM) and not to provide hitler with a necessary fuel additive that was required in order for hitler to Bomb England (Rockefeller and Standard Oil). if these rright things were done, then maybe bombing civilians wouldn't even have been on the table. >> Is it right to take the life of an individual?<< it depends on the circumstances. in some cases, yes, it is justified. to lie in order to go to war is clearly immoral (gulf of tonkin), though. >>or is it ok if he was a murderer in the past?<< i don't think time alone changes the right or wrongness of an action.
