They do indeed - but in our haste to take sides we shouldn't overlook some of the other excursions they have taken, particularly pre-emptive ones like Heinz Krug, José Alberto Albano do Amarante, and before we offer unconditional support for Mossad's actions, there's always Ahmed Bouchikhi in Lillehammer to consider. None of these people murdered Israelis, there are also other scientists involved in programmes that may have tipped the balance of the Middle East away from Israel... those people didn't murder Israelis at all.

Mossad are not a universal force for moral good and we should be careful before we make that case.
