From here on out, targeting a leader, minister, or the head of the government of the Zionist entity

Haven't they been doing that all along? They have already assassinated Tourism Minister Rehaveam Zeevi and the son and daughter-in-law of Rabbi Meir Kahane.

To clarify, Ze'ev was a PFLP (re: Syrian) hit and that assassination triggered Arafat's current isolation. The Kahane killing, I believe, was an act of opportunity. There is a big difference with this escalation. Unlike to corrupt cowards of Fatah, Hamas tries very hard to follow up on their bluster.

I'm tending to agree with Daniel Pipes assessment. These bastards are losing. The secular Palestinian terror formations are effectively truncated, their leadership isolated, and most of the cadre either dead, in jail or soon to be either.

However, the ghost dancing Jihadis of Islamic Scumbag continue to wreak mayhem. However this is the sort of escalation that will finally force Sharon and Ben-Eliezar to do something that, though difficult, needs to be done in order to finally end this thing.

Which is turn Gaza City in another Jenin. Though the death toll will be high, getting rid of Hamas is the bottom line.

Hamas cannot be allowed to continue. Period.
