3. To be fair, Hamas did lob 115 missiles into Israel in the past week.

The hit on al-Ja'abari wasn't significantly different from our hit on bin Laden. It was a surgical strike. My concern is that Egypt and Iran will get involved. That almost ensures US involvement to protect Israel. This is definitely a "shit hits the fan" moment. We'll see what their morning brings.

IMHO the actions by Hamas are the problem.

8. Hamas fired more than 100 missiles! Israel responded by targeting Hamas' military commander

and yes, they did kill him.

Present one side of the argument much?

I'm no fan of Israel but only presenting one side isn't fair either.

How dare Israel respond to over a hundred missiles that killed three of its citizens.

They should just let anyone freely take missiles and fire them at innocent Israelis.
