Israel has now killed two leaders of the group Hamas back to back. The world has condemmed Israel for this action. I am confused. If we take out Osama bin Laden will the US be condemned? It's not like Hamas is the legitimate government of the State of Palestine, as I recall the duly elected (in theory) leader of that government is Yasser Arafat. So how can you condemn a country for killing two men who have vowed to bring that country to destruction? It's not exactly like they are good people towards the US or Israel. (Yes, that is a biased source. Here is another with a near opposite take and one from about as close to the middle as you can get(?)). Granting taking out the leader may not help overall negoiations for peace but on the same side is Israel negoiating with terrorists or the Palestinian (spl) state?
Anyhow, rant over.
