Indeed, but if they can do that in the courts, rather than yet more senseless bloodshed of civilians, it would be better. In some ways if you sign up to the Army you expect to go to war and know you may die, you kinda sign up to that. Civilians do not sign up to the risk of being blown up, when international law has banned actions that put them in the firing line. The IDF can identify a target and building and send in special forces to take that person (or persons out) like the Seals did with Bin Laden. There is no legal justification to bomb a whole building.

Isreal has already used the current situation in Syria to sieze land, I just hope that rather than using violence these neighbours can use the courts to bring israel to justice. Saying that if it was not for the fact Israel attacked Lebonon and weakened Hezbollah, the situation in Syria would have remained the same as before.

Well his plan with his buddy Assad has gone down the pan, so this makes sense.

@bretcarmichael

What would happen if they summoned the CEO instead, and held her accountable ?

Putting Asylum seekers aside, Immigration is needed to bring in the skills a country needds, while it can be argued a supermarket can find people locally to do the job of say shelf stacking when it comes to highly skilled work such as engineering, science and medicine (to name a few) the pool of skills is clearly much smaller. A company may employ an engineer from the UK to enhance their existing skills base. IIRC a small company in somerset UK provided the parachute for the latest mars rover, so that must at some point have required someone from the UK to work with the teams in the US (and elsewhere) on a visa.

So I hope that Trump has factored in, if you kick out the people with these specailist skills, you reduce competitiveness, but we also live in a global world where companies share expertise across international borders, it also helps improve cultural awareness and cohesion.
