Has Shimon Peres of Israel's Labor Party condemned it yet? If not, I'm sure it's coming soon.

reply to: "The European Union has consistently condemned extrajudicial killings."

Yeah, right, except when it is Palestinian homicide bombers. And exactly what did the Europeans have to say when Hitler was stomping all over Europe?

The answer: Heil Hitler!

What was wrong before is still wrong, what was right before, is still right. There is a war going on, maybe the Europeans have not noticed, been to Madrid lately?

"Where is the "world condemnation" when homocide bombers kill innocent Israelis?"

Good point.

[yonif]

Peres supported it.

Time after time again, the world continues to prove that its fighting a war on "NON-JEW/NON-ISRAELI MURDERING" terrorism.

In the end, after great death, destruction, and terrorism, they will be crawling back to Israel for help and expertise in fighting this militant Islamic scourge of the earth. Israel should just continue to do what they do to stay alive with enemies all around her. Let the world continue to take its the "righteous" stand.

"Javier Solana, foreign policy chief of the European Union (EU), indicated that the killing was unlawful and "not conducive to lowering tension."

But it is conducive to ridding the world of another murdering bastard.

"Israel should just continue to do what they do to stay alive with enemies all around her."

Isreal has proven that it is possible to rub these kill crazy assholes out. The rest of the world should pay attention.

"I actually voted for the Rontissi assassination. . .before I voted against it."

[blackbart.223]

Ain't that the truth.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said resistance is the only way.

The murdering Egyptian Arafat has been breathing way too many years.

Was late in getting out of bed today (started reading a book, and couldn't put it down, so read until 4:00 in the morning). Hate when I get hooked like that and can't put a book down. Louses up my biological clock. However, I woke up, flipped on the TV, and lo and behold Rantisi had got his. Made my day. I've been exceptionally bright and cheery for hours now. Hope next week, and the week after, and the week after that, I wake up to yet another Hamas leader having been taken out. Go Ariel! Whatta guy!

I read most of the article and most of the responses seem to me to be crocodile tears....even Iran's response sounded like pure rhetoric.....this will not blow up into some major event....Hamas will announce the next leader...and then in a month or two...he'll be killed....this will prove to the world that the other Arabs could really care less about the Pali's....

[Fenris6]

Hamas is a terrorist cell - why is the world condemning Isreal?

Israel was condemmed by the world for bombing Iraq's nuclear facility in 1981. They were condemmed by the U.N for arrested Adolf Eichman in 1960. Alot of people forget this. But when Israel kidnapped Eichman from Argentina in 1960, the U.N had an emergency meeting and condemmed Israel. They actually wanted Israel to return Eichman to Argentina. They said it was against international law to kidnap someone. What stupid dopes.
U.N stands for unnecessary nonsense.

"However, I woke up, flipped on the TV, and lo and behold Rantisi had got his. Made my day."

I hope Arafat is next in line.

[ladyinred]

Yes, that's right, don't kill terrorists Israel, let them kill your innocent citizens instead. It saves the world from having another Hitler when hundreds of suicide bombers kill dozens at a time.

I applaud Israel for doing what the rest of the world hasn't got the guts to do. I am appalled by the Bush/Christian/Jewish hatred in the world exhibited by those who renounce defending oneself from monsters.

[musical_airman]

Ahhh....EU......how soon we forget, no? I seem to remember something about "those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it". Lay off the pacifism. It didn't work for Neville Chamberlain, and it won't work now.

[blackbart.223]

"Israel was condemmed by the world for bombing Iraq's nuclear facility in 1981."

And I thank God they did it.

[Getsmart64]

They'll prob hit Iran's facility here in a bit....

"Italy, like the whole of the European Union, has always condemned the
practice of targeted assassinations, which contribute to furthering the spiral of
hatred and violence," Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said.
