Yes.

Not including other terrorist leaders to the party is socially inept.

There is still time to get out invitations.

No RSVP required.

It was a terrific shot,though...;)

Yeah it was totally thoughtless and unjustified to kill a man who helped ferment hatred of a whole race people for years. The same man who would find weak minded people and strap bombs to them and send them out to blow up themselves up in hopes of killing as many innocent women and children as possible. Totally thoughtless and unjustified indeed.

This is the second post I've read this morning condemning Israel. First the EU now Japan. I believe they need to walk in Jewish footsteps before they condemn them. It's funny when it's you or your family that is in the cross-hairs that your mind and heart quickly changes. The US is on the right support path with Israel.

The game has changed. The old, unwritten law was that it is OK for a government to kill the unimportant so we important people stay alive and enjoy the good life. No more, and it was not Israel that started it. We did when we made it clear there was no longer anywhere terrorists can hide.

The complaining is coming from the important people who do not like the change. Now they are in the crosshairs.

If Muslims were in Japan blowing up pizza parlors and school busses, while inciting mob hatred, Japan wouldn't be slamming retaliation as `thoughtless and unjustifiable'.

One thing for sure.. Rantissi is the thoughtless one now. There will be no more threats coming from him.

[G.Mason]

Rantissi assassinated?

First words that come to mind are from Queen ...

" Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, eh"

I can understand how a governmental group might "condemn" the killings in some sort of weird and elliptic message of international diplomacy.

But it's hard to believe that any normal person in the EU, Japan, or China doesn't see the enormous hypocrisy in so doing, nor understand that Israel is trying to halt the murder of women, children, and innocents by Hamas.

Kamikazis calling the kettle black!

[JudgemAll]

Sheesh, ok, now what about Ruby Ridge Nazies or Waco, TX? Hmmm.. what about the illegal cults broken down in Europe and Japan? Hmmmm

[baw0169]

Remember Supreme Truth, cult member Yasuo Hayashi? He was sentenced to Death by a Japanese court for a terror gas attack on the Toyko subway system. Pot meet Kettle.

[Petronski]

Marching him to death through the jungles of Burma would have been okey-dokey, but using a missile? That's savagery.

[lawgirl]

'thoughtless'? Something must have been lost in translation- thoughtless is forgetting to send a birthday card. Killing someone is a little more than that if they were deciding to criticize!

Nothing new here, Japan has always favored the Palis vs. Israel. I think it's a combination of being aware of how much of their oil comes from the Arabs, and not having a Judeo-Christian society, i.e. there's no religious tie. Acting in their economic interest is at least more honest than the EU's pretending they're not acting out of antisemitism.
