Israel assassinated a Hamas strongman Thursday in its first ...

What is it with MSNBC and the MSM doofuses?

They can't have it both ways.
Either hamas is at war with Israel, or it isn't; it is either lobbing explosives at Israel, or it isn't. Israel, certainly thinks the killers in the Gaza strip are at war.

Since when does killing terrorists or enemy military units of any name assassination?
Where are the headlines announcing the assassination of Israeli citizens?

That stupid headline should read,

Israel Pest Control Campaign Kills Hamas Strongman.

It's not rocket science.

I suppose they could have characterized the death as a fatal mugging by the insensitive joos and demanded a UN investigation and bombings a la First Rapist in Serbia...

According to Merriam-Webster's online dictionary.

Assassinate:

1: To injure or destroy unexpectedly and treacherously

2: To murder (a usually prominent person) by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons

< sarc > This poor man was murdered for political reasons. Since the Israeli victims of the rocket attacks are not prominent people, they are not being assassinated. < /sarc >
