However, the desire to see identical harm inflicted on the evildoer is not only not wrong, it is at the essence of an empathetic, moral and just heart and conscience. What sort of person reads what a torturer did to an innocent victim and doesn’t want to see that torturer suffer? Those who have no desire to see such people suffer commensurate with the evil they have inflicted have blunted the natural human desire for justice.
Of course, none of this means that all revenge is moral. When revenge is unjust — if, for example, the Israelis had murdered a group of Palestinian athletes — it is immoral.
But what could be more just, more moral, than Israel targeting only the murderers for death?
