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.

The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM.
