Yes, how dare the Israelis attack known terrorists!!!

How does Israel figure that a blind and deaf man in a wheelchair is a
threat

Well, for starters the guy was a planner and mastermind. Those guys NEVER
do the suicide dance - they convince other people to do it.


Yassin was little more than a figurehead, and like the pope, probably
couldn't
dress himself without help, much less plan a terrorist operation.

A "figurehead" is still a viable target. Tell me that offing the Pope
wouldn't have consequences.

This is a fight between two religions. As always, no one will "win",
thousands of innocents are being killed, and neither side has
"clean hands". "Viable" targets are any member of the "other"
religion, barbarity reigns on both sides,
and the US should not be involved.

On (and before) 9/11 al Qaeda decided that the US most definitely IS
involved.

Hamas objects to Jews walking on the Muslim land of Israel.
Al Qaeda objects to American Christians walking on the Muslim lands
of Saudi and Iraq, etc.

Hamas, Hizbullah, Ansar al Islam, Jihad Islamiya and al Qaeda et al
ALL claim the Muslim religion as the basis for their actions.

You reject those facts at your own risk.

If you read my post, it was directed toward the Israeli/Palestinian
conflict. You are correct on one point, ANY theocratic government
or group is irrational. That was my point.
