You defend the ideal beautifully, but its values have increasingly turned into Potemkin villages in recent times. Israel's actions in Gaza can only be described as barbaric, at best. It would be ideal for all nations to agree on the uncompromising adherence to human rights as a fundamental principle. And whether some like it or not, these rights apply to every person without regard to who they are. Those who violate these rights must be held accountable. The 'elimination' - death penalty or execution of criminals is likewise unthinkable in such humanistically shaped „civilized“ society.
