> Portraying Israeli intelligence as this omnipotent, cartoonishly evil entity that assassinates via uranium phones
Uses term "cartoonishly evil" to describe a scenario scarily close to a recent actual example.
The only way I can fathom this comment on HN is that it's masterful irony. And if that's the case, I applaud it.
If not: smh.
Edited to add two things:
1. It seems like the opposite of punching down, more like fearful respect of their capability.
2. I struggle to draw a line between criticising the efficiency with which an agency kills people and anti-semitism.
I would think that most people that consider themselves jewish, or a true believer of any religion, or just a well-adjusted non-denominational human (as rare as they are) for that matter, would respect the sanctity of life, and see the pursuit of murder, for any reason, as antithetical to their beliefs.
