World anger after Hamas killing

Let me see if I understand this: this guy was an avowed ememy of Israel, had plotted numerous successful terrorist attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians and was opposed to the very existance of Israel.

Therefore, when Israel kills him, it's a horrible act of violence and they are roundly condemned.

In my experience, I've noticed that when one stands in front of a bull tossing bombs and screaming taunts, one should not be surprised if one gets gored. Or at the very least, trampled.

It's the hypocrisy that gets me: this guy made war on Israel with hardly a peep about violence. Israel makes war on him, and the masses rush to condemn the brutal assassination. Just amazing...

The assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin sparks widespread condemnation.
