| Shiek Yassin Eliminated |
Sheik Yassin was killed in Gaza by Israeli helicopters. The whole israeli media is running amok about this. It shouldn’t be any surprise as it’s not the first time such a thing was attempted.
On a personal opinion (a short one cause I’m in a hurry to go to work) I think this act is justified but not very smart. Justified cause if there was someone in hamas that deserved to be killed it’s him. He was the big honcho, the guy that gave all the orders and used (or should I say abused) his role as a religious leader to send young people to explode among us. Not very smart - Well, while I have absolutely no pity for him or for hammas, I know that this will bring to another rise in terror attacks attempts.
Then again, it’s not like we didn’t have dozens of alerts anyway. They are trying to execute attacks regardless.
Same day, 19:50
I’m really tired and I have heaps to do. Copywriting final work and stuff. Anyway, more on the issue. When I was driving this morning to work I listened to the radio. Seems there wasn’t any real range of opinions - even politicians from the left supported the killing of Sheik Yassin. Well, at least we’re united behind THIS… Also the killing generated a wave of spontaneous small un-politically correct jokes. You know. One way to deal with all this stuff. Anyway, I basically thought more about the issue, heard people, and on the basic level, I’m still supportive of the act. If you engage in terror you have no immunity. None what so ever.
And with all due respect, should we be afraid of killing those who kills us? Why, cause the Arabs might not like it? Cause Europe? I was almost rolling on the floor laughing when I heard the British reaction calling Yassin a “crippled old man”. Yea, right. A crippled old man with the blood of a countless number of Jewish bloods on his hand. Just to remind you who this guy is, this is one of the attacks the Hammas, under Yassin’s “spiritual” leadership has comitted.
All in all I can’t say how much this thing will be positive for the long run, but while I’m not full of joy, I can’t pretend to be sorry for this head terrorist death.

Great link JD, I put it up on my blog too.
I worry about the effects of this killing too….I hope you all stay safe and aware on your daily journeys. be sure to check in with us every so often so we know you’re ok.
ho, I think the palestinians are still in shock.
I’ve been in malls today both in Haifa and in Petach Tikva. Lots of security but nothing else special. Though there are lots of un-political jokes running around today.
I’m not that worried. I’m sure they will try to execute several big attacks to "get even", but then again, they have been trying to do so till now as well. If such an attack will be successful, well, I don’t think I’ll blame it on the killing. Attacks were, are, and will be in the future. Regardless of who we kill. It’s our existance which triggers them. And I can’t really do anything about that, now can I?
