The assination scheme has been floating around for decades, and really isn't a secret to those in true political power==or someone like me who knows someone in power who's candidly discussed this privately. It is quite real, and world leaders fear of them is also quite real. This is not something from a supermarket tabloid, or some underground radical rag....It has happened and will continute to happen==and worse, America IS involved up to its collective neck--or so my source tells me, and as he's been to the White House more than once over the decades, I tend to believe him. Thanks for bringing this up, it should be discussed more.

I'm not sure of the amount of actual American involvement in the shaping of this policy, but officially they aren't condoning it. Unofficially, they might even be endorsing it. The US holds a very powerful veto over Israel on any issue, so the fact that Israel continues to assassinate unwanted people indicates that it doesn't bother Washington.

Bush even tried it on Saddam, maybe even with Bin.

"No, it's not okay to fire at an entire crowd if there are a couple insurgents amongst them."

Of course it is, they know that they are 'shielding' them so if they decide to march knowing this is going to happen, same affect as them loading the guns for them, they can no longer be viewed as civilians.

They are members of an criminal terror group at 'war' with Israel. In the same way generals can be killed in war, so can terorist leaders, their rank has no bearing it, they are part of a illegal group and so just like any other member of that group can be killed.

An eye for an eye.
A tooth for a tooth.
Assassination by Israel is embedded in their faith, culture and politics. Getting back at ex Nazis etc could be justified. Maybe we see everything from the wrong angle.

I never realised Hamas were a political party in the Israeli governemnt...ohh, wait their not, so how exactly is it political assassination?

So the S.A.S set up an ambush and kill IRA members in a van... is that political assassination?
