A woman in her 70s from central Israel was arrested on Wednesday for intending to plan an assassination plot on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Police said she is a “known anti-government protester,” and that she approached other protesters in enquiry to obtain weapons, and also inquired as to the prime minister’s security arrangements.
Opposition head Yair Lapid (Yeah Atid) condemned the incident. “Justice must be realized with anyone who tried or will try to hurt him [Netanyahu].”
why every single action in the west uses explosives and guns, obviously controlled stuff, instead of historically verified methods?
(but also +1 good israeli, there are now 50 of them huh)
Aren’t guns and explosives are pretty damn historically verified? It’s the ever increasing technology imbalance especially of modern times that makes them more easily tracked and thwarted than they used to be. I’m sincerely curious what you mean by historically verified methods if not guns and explosives. Knives? Swords? Those may not be as readily controlled as guns and explosives, but they’ve got a lot of other things going against them in terms of efficacy. (edit:) Poison? It would be interesting to see that make a comeback as a common method for political assassination for sure.
There is an obvious solution to all this:
Not sure I’d call it historically verified yet though.
poisons and diseases, no?
and now drones, which i’m still amazed that they have not been used in 5 years, you can drop lead weights from 1 km/fly at 60 mph to jsut collide without touching anything controlled, now precision is lacking of course for lead weights, and you have to be very good with electronics to fix it, but it’s nowhere near as dangerous or controlled as explosives
