I think you should state your ideas more clearly. Are you saying there is an equivalence between Germany in WW2 and Israel? If not, what’s the point of your comment?

It's your rhetorical reflected back, perhaps you should state your absolute position on the sanctity of business more clearly.

Why would infomation systems for tracking tattoos on not-Aryans in work and death camps be a problem?

Why would developing and selling Zyklon-B be a problem?

By your comment above, and I quote: "Why would taking on paying customers be a problem? It shows they are running a business".

Do you truly believe that making sales and profit is all that matters?

Has Israel been tattooing people? Has Israel been developing Zyklon-B? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

The assertion was that "running a business with paying customers" is A-Ok.

The counter example was of businesses that aided in war crimes.

The question posed was whether "business trumps all as long as it pays" is an absolute or whether there are qualifications depending on the type and application of paying business.

I'm just reading up on this now. Sounds like Israel killed 13,000 children? Seems pretty bad.

You want Israel to value the lives of Palestinian children more than the Palestinians themselves do? Would you support rounding up the children and getting them adopted elsewhere in the muslim world and sterilising the adults? If not, I think you're just talking out of your ass.
