Subject: RE: BS: Arab Times: Arafat Must Go
The government of Israel practices extrajudicial assasinations, which are nothing but capitol punishment without the benefit of judicial process. And most extrajudicial assasinations tend to kill a few innocent civilians along with the intended victim.

It is a tragedy whenever an innocent civilian is killed. Problem is, the terrorist masterminds who are the targets of such assaninations hide behind those civilians. In many cases, they are regarded as heroes by the civilians that they hide behind.

In case you haven't noticed, since Israel began killing these terrorist masterminds, the incidents of terrorism have fallen off to almost nothing.

I don't want to sound callous, and I deeply regret the loss of every innocent civilian, but the many hundreds of lives that have been saved by the killing of the terrorist masterminds, makes them worthwhile.

When a terrorist murderer hides behind a civilian and the civilian is killed, it is the terrorist's fault, not Israel's.
