#5  Nice to see the Israelis paring down their "A" list. Soon, they should be able to fit all Hamas leadership into one meeting room. It'll sure save wasting lots more of those expensive missiles.

Hamas leader killed in Israeli airstrike

Abdel Aziz Rantisi, the leader of the militant group Hamas in Gaza, was killed Saturday in Gaza City by an Israeli missile strike, Israeli officials and Palestinian security sources said.

... Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat condemned the killing, saying: "We hold the Israeli government fully responsible for the consequences of such actions."


--------------------------

Notice how Erakat (rhymes with "Arafat") attempts to make the threat of further mass murder a "consequence of such [Israeli] actions?"

As with yesterday's "Europeans Should Feel They Impose Consequences on Al-Qaeda’s Actions" article, these threats of retaliation are merely another blatant refusal to take any responsibility for bringing this upon themselves. If the bombings stopped, so would the targeted killings. Someone needs to tell the Palestinians that blackmail doesn't work if your victim has no fear of you.

#4  It is just amazing how the Israelis know when these animals are on the move and the next thing you know they turn them into anti Palestinian terrorist wall graffiti!!
Who is going to step up and volunteer for the job?
I wonder how much deeper Arafats bunker is now? We may never see that animal again.
