Description

Israel faces appalling attacks against its civilians. Since the beginning of the current intifada in September 2000 and until December 31, 2002, Palestinians have killed 443 Israeli civilians, among them eighty-three minors. Many more have been seriously injured. These attacks have spread fear and significantly affected daily life. While implementing its policy of "targeted killing" chosen as one of Israel's responses to these attacks, Israel has killed at least eighty-six Palestinians and another forty Palestinian bystanders. The policy of "targeted killing," as the Israeli government calls it, raises numerous questions concerning its legality and morality. Steven David admits that this policy suffers from several shortcomings but nevertheless considers it legal, moral, and effective and suggests only a few minor changes. Israel should, however, immediately forgo this policy, which is illegal according to international and Israeli law and based on shaky moral grounds. Its effectiveness--although irrelevant to a moral and legal debate--is also controversial. Even if this policy were legal, moral, and effective, the way Israel is implementing it provides, in and of itself, sufficient grounds for desisting from it.
