    Robby Benson, master of disguise is the threadjack I didn’t know I needed this morning.

    If they could get to all of them, they would be dead right now. Sure, I'm making a fairly big assumption, but so are you.

    LOL. Benson actually is Jewish (and I thought he played the part OK). The really believable ones were Rod Steiger as Benson's father, the rebbe, and Maximilian Schell as the other kid's father (the modern Orthodox Zionist). And neither Steiger (who was also excellent as a traumatized Holocaust survivor) nor Schell were Jewish.

    One of the 20th century's greatest acts of restraint and justice was the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires by the Mossad.

    Just about 64 years ago to the day. May 11, 1960.

    They returned him to Israel to stand trial.

    I am pretty sure Robby Benson never played him.

    There is, however, a really good documentary on the trial buried on Netflix.

    Fair, but they're considered the world's best intel agency for a reason.

    There is some value to letting Hamas' higher ups kick it in Qatar or wherever they are. At least Israel knows where they are.

    Knowing where they are doesn't make Israel feel any safer. Nor should it. Ending them is what will accomplish that, and Israel isn't wrong for wanting to end every Hamas leader it can.

    Mossad took a major black eye on O7.

    Maybe they're still opping but you don't hear Mossad ops as often as you used to (other than I think a hit they pulled in Iran last year.)
