The Mossad is sort of Israel's equivalent to the United States' Central Intelligence Agency. They have gained a reputation as an agency to be wary of if you stand against Israel, especially if you are viewed as a threat. There have been multiple allegations over the past 60 years of Mossad agents assassinating people who were either members or allegedly had ties to terrorist groups working against Israel. The film "Munich" was based on one of the Mossad's more well-known exploits, where the Mossad hunted down those responsible for the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the Olympic games in Munich.
The movie tends to focus on the psychological effect hunting and killing people had on the men involved. However, I'm curious to know what people's thoughts are on preemptive and/or retaliatory strikes, whether against individuals or nation states. I believe in identifying those who would hurt you and stopping them by any means necessary. For the sake of argument, you are able to correctly identify and are convinced that the other person is out to do you harm.
Let the games begin.
Speaking of the Mossad, they also hunt down Nazi War Criminals from World War II. Adolf Eichmann was their biggest capture, below is a resource link:
