12/3/20 Gareth Porter on the Assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh

Gareth Porter discusses the recent assassination of Iranian defense official Mohsen Fakhrizadeh by the Israeli government, which continues to claim that Fakhrizadeh was a “top nuclear scientist” in Iran. In reality, explains Porter, Fakhrizadeh was not a nuclear scientist, and this assassination is part of a years-long campaign to convince the world that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons. No doubt the assassination was intended to provoke some kind of response from the Iranians before President Trump leaves the White House. It will also make it harder, he says, for President Biden to renegotiate the Iran nuclear agreement, a clear goal of Israel and its allies in Washington.

I get your point, but if you are going to make this case, then you need to be consistent. You will need to label all of the scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project as evil too for developing a weapon which was used to murder hundreds of thousands of civilians when it was unnecessary to do so in order to end WW2.

Governments have the right to execute their citizens and in war those of other nations

The difference between murder and morally justifiable homicide is very, very narrow sometimes.

To Iranian’s it should be justified and I can understand why they would congregate to take him out since their religion teaches to never develop nuclear weapons. The fact that Iranian’s would protect Allah in word and deed holds moral ground.

Sir, I understand how you feel about this. However, neither YOU nor anyone else has the right to determine that a person is justifiably murdered. You are assuming to yourself the place of God. That is a very dangerous thing to do. Being "evil" is not a crime, especially a capital crime deserving death. Extra-judicial murder is against the law and governments cannot do what is illegal for individuals. Either live by the law or everyone is in danger. Can't have it both ways.

If I determine that someone is "evil" can I take it upon myself to kill them? Apparently you can.

God complex comes to those whom humility and empathy have never been taught, control and arrogance is the forte of these types of people. I’ve met General Practitioners whom fit this bill as well. My mother was physically assaulted as a patient by a doctor whom disliked her getting a second opinion.

No matter the amount of initials behind your name, letters cannot fix evil behaviour, just gives evil people more power. That’s why rule of law and hard punishment is supposed to deter this behaviour, but in Canada, these people seem to make it into positions to do the most harm and face no consequences for illegal or illicit behaviour, not only allowing for this to continue but actually condone it.

Chief medical officers and surgeon generals should be an elected position or in fact a group of 5 with internal votes. One non publicly appointed man shutting down anything due to suspicion is not only an medical ethical violation as burden of proof is on them but also illegal without a vote.
