One would have to wonder how the West would react if the Palestinians found a way of making successful ‘targeted killings’ of Israeli political and military leaders and their soldiers. Imagine if you will that Palestinians suddenly had in their possession an arsenal of incredibly accurate remotely controlled flying bombs that could roam the skies over Israel with impunity and that could strike down say Israel’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni or Defence Minister Amir Peretz at will. There would be absolute outrage throughout the world. There would be a demand that such activities ceased forthwith and, furthermore, that those responsible be brought to justice.
Yet when Israel carries out targeted killings against Palestinians there is hardly a peep of outrage from the West. When Sheik Ahmed Yassin the spiritual leader of Hamas was assassinated in a targeted killing in March 2004, there was barely a ripple of outrage despite the fact the he was blind, wheelchair-bound and 67 years old. And we learn now that the Israeli cabinet has given the OK for the IDF to assassinate Hamas politicians.
This is state terrorism of the very worst kind. The world should be outraged. Hamas was elected by the Palestinian people to represent them. Now they are being targeted for assassination – and given the well-known reputation of IDF efficiency, this amounts to nothing less than the summary execution of democratically elected national leaders. Yet still the world remains silent. Have the peoples of the entire Western world been brought to their knees by fear and paranoia?
When are the peoples of the world going to denounce these crimes and demand that the perpetrators be brought to the International Criminal Courts charged with warcrimes?
TWO CONTRASTING HA’ARETZ ARTICLES PUBLISHED TODAY HIGHLIGHT HOW THE ISRAELI MEDIA DIFFERENTLY VIEW THEIR FELLOW HUMANS.
One article is entitled ‘Sderot traumatic stress center sees steep rise in new patients’ while the second is entitled ‘Nine die in IAF Gaza strikes, 8 of them in home of Hamas official’. Just about sums up the right-wing Zionist mentality does it not?

Yes, the world should be outraged. But we're not. Don't know why the Israelis are given a pass on this kind of thing.
This is the nature of the masses. They set and don't do anything and feel sorry for themselves for others, until one day a leader wakes up and drives *by inspiration* to do the right thing. Considering that most of the world leaders are corrupt nowadays, then there is no chances of them waking up. I believe that the only good thing to do these days is to seek the truth, learn it, teach it and spread it around and make sure that your children know it well. Maybe one of their generation will drive the future Masses.
Great work. I just put this out in a myspace bulletin, with a hyperlink to the source, of course.
L'Empereur romain Ocatavien dit Auguste disait des israélites qu'ils étaient des « hostes humanis generis ». Ah oui, Auguste est mort avant que la secte basée sur les enseignement d'un kapo (i.e. collaborateur) cachère appelé Jésus. « Nihil novo sub sole. »
Il faut lire la Torah, le Talmud et le Zoar pour comprendre la psyché exclusiviste, suprémaciste et libertocidaire de Sion. À l'heure de l'Internet, l'information circule partout. Ces choses seront de plus en plus diffusées. Car si on peut mentir une fois à une personne, des milliards de fois à dews milliards de personnes, il est impossible de mentir à tout le monde tout le temps, ainsi que le remarquait le président Lincoln.
Des mensonges toujours seront indiqués par la suite. L'Internet accélère leur révélation.
Zionists own both parties and most of the UN. Only Israel benefits from these endless Middle East wars. Iraq is the beginning. As we commit war-crimes in Baghdad, the US gov't commits treason at home by opening mail, eliminating habeas corpus, using the judiciary to steal private lands, banning books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia, conducting warrantless wiretaps and engaging in illegal wars on behalf of AIPAC's 'money-men'. Soon, another US false-flag operation will occur (sinking of an Aircraft Carrier by Mossad) and the US will invade Iran.. Then we'll invade Syria, then Saudi Arabia, then Lebanon (again) then ....

You’re absolutely correct that the Israelis are always given a free pass on their state terrorism. And it’s not just Palestinian leaders that they can kill with impunity as these operations often slaughter innocent bystanders or family members as well.
Western countries--especially the United States--are now so blanketed with pro-Israeli propaganda that these extraordinary acts of extrajudicial murder are simply not on the radar screen. Even most well-meaning Americans that I speak with who have some general sympathy for the Palestinians have never heard of these assassinations.
Israelis are always depicted in Western narratives as “responding” or “preventing” terrorism—never launching or stoking terrorism.
Of course, if the Palestinians were able to take out someone loathsome like an Avigdor Leiberman, you would never hear an end to the echoing of horrified denunciations in the Western corporate media—and this would be especially true in countries such as the U.S. and Australia.
It’s noteworthy that the U.S. has also made these extrajudicial assassinations a cornerstone of their “war on terror” campaign. It is ironic that there is more news and even outrage to the capture and torture of “enemies” then their executions without evidence or trial.

Although we may all be howling at the moon, I certainly thank you for your advocacy of international fairness and sanity. It’s an uphill struggle but someone has to do it.

Israels are worse than the Nazis of WWII when they target elected officials!!!!! Because they run 96% of the worlds media the little Nazis get away with it. Give everyone an ak47 and nothing more and let's see then who will be running!! IDF are cowards! Only cowards use modern missles to target families.
