No tears shed here for the death of Mohammed Oudeh, who masterminded of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre. Here's how he once justified the attack on civilians:
"Some of them [the athletes] had taken part in wars and killed many Palestinians. Whether a pianist or an athlete, any Israeli is a soldier."
According to the logic of the "Oudeh Doctrine," there's no such thing as an Israeli "civilian" since any Israeli is, was, or will be a soldier or reservist. This includes women, children and the elderly. Palestinians have expressed this view before. Oudeh simply said so in a more public way than anyone else.
It means you don't have to apologize for terror attacks since no victims were truly civilian. And collateral damage? Doesn't exist. The beauty of the Oudeh Doctrine is that collateral damage means never having to say you're sorry.
Despite the fact that Palestinian terror groups brainwash children and send 11-year-old boys, mothers and grandmothers off to blow themselves up, the IDF will never treat non-combatants as legitimate targets.
