Dubai Assasination

As details continue to surface about the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January, so do the questions. Who killed him? Was the killing justified? Is the use of fake passports legal? For every question that arises there are many answers. When asked if he thought that the killings were justified, one Israeli student said that "there are definitely some questionable legal issues, but morally it was fine." Another Israeli suggested that "this [assassination] was definitely not the best legal situation; the Israelis managed to get Adolph Eichmann to Israel and have him put on trial... but this [form of judgement] was the next best thing." Although some people had their doubts, one Israeli summed up the general mood: "If a man had a knife to your throat, and you were holding a gun, would you try to extradite the man and put him to trial?" This story is far from finished.
Until the operation there was a terrorist, while now there is no terrorist. No innocent lives were taken, and no innocent people were injured, and nobody disagrees with that. As more details arise the facts will hopefully become clearer, and the final judgement will be able to be passed.

M&M Turns to Its Readers for Suggestions for Israel Column

This weekly piece will try to voice the Israeli opinion on Israel-related topics. For those who don't know, I was a member of Class of '12 until seventh grade before I moved to Israel. I live in the city of Beit Shemesh and go to school at Chorev in Yerushalaim. I hope to properly express the voice of Israelis, particularly the religous youth, on controversial topics. Any topics deemed worth discussing about the Israeli matziv should be advanced in the comments section of this post.

M&M Goes International

As the size of M&M's reader base steadily stays the same, Maimo & Matziv is growing to a whole new level.
A correspondence is now existent and soon operant between M&M and a reporter in the Land of Israel.
M&M is very excited about the expansion and looks forward to bringing in a wider variety of article topics. The new correspondent will address issues pertinent to Israeli Jewry, politics, and basically, Matziv. Look out for the label "Israel" at the end posts relating to the Holy Land.
