Giancarlo you are than idiot like Israel PM and most of cabinet members. First murdering than old blind man in a wheelchair by fireing than missile from than gunship is no great act of bravery. The day that Israel will disappear is comeing closer every day. God sent me than vision of Israel being destory for disokney International Laws which they have the habit of doing.

The grand strategy, IIUC is to get out of Gaza, which will economize on military resources. It will also open up a new political dynamic in the territories, given that Mohammed Dahlan, who was in the Abu Mazen govt and defied arafat over control of PA security forces, is strong in Gaza.
There are two big problems with this strategy
1. Hamas is also strong on the ground in Gaza. Arafat may be so afraid of Dahlan he will ally with Hamas against Dahlan.
2. As with Lebanon in 1999, an Israeli strategic withdrawl will be spun as a victory for terror.
Killing Yassin certainly deals with 2, and in the apparent view of Israeli strategists deals with 1. By killing Yassin no one can claim that the withdrawl from Gaza is simply a retreat after defeat. And it weakens Hamas POLITICALLY on the ground in Gaza, during its death struggle with Dahlan. It also sends a not so subtle message to Arafat, should he decide to openly ally with Hamas. Weighing that, and Yassins real value as an inciter, versus some marginal impact on recruitment, it was decided this was a "go"
A counter argument would have to come from a detailed analysis of Gaza politics, not the usual handwringing.

In other word Israel is getting they ass knick by the freedom fighter.

I think he might have had other problems besides not being able to get a drivers license. 
I happen to think the Israeli policy of extrajudicial killing (or assasination, or whatever you wish to call it) is counterproductive. But I've no sympathy for the old, blind, wheelchair-bound bastard.

LotM - I agree with most of your posts on this thread. But if you look at what Ben-Gurion said about the half loaf, it went something like this.
"I don't like settling for half of Israel more than any of you. But we are being offered half of Israel now, and I recommend we accept, without renouncing our claim to historic Israel." I don't have my books with me, can't quote exactly...
The realpolitik is a conundrum.
Israel cannot maintain control of all of Gaza and the West Bank. Even with Jewish settelement, the Palestinian Arabs are an ever-increasing majority.
No Isreali government can survive abandoning the territories. There is the right wing hawk constituency, there is the religious extremist constituency, and of course, there is the economic reality of all the Jews who bought homes in the territory because they were cheap and within a half-hour commute of work.
Israel must abandon the territories, at least most of them. It cannot be a Jewish Democracy and keep them; and ultimately, Israel will choose to keep its Jewishness and its democratic traditions over its archeological boundaries. But the government that does so will commit political suicide. At least for the foreseeable future.

I reckon Arafat'll meet a similar end in a year or two. Killing Yassin was a card Sharon was keeping in his back pocket. It's the same with Arafat.

In terms of the principle of the thing, there isn't a difference.
In terms of reality on the ground, it is different. At the end of the day, we don't have to live side-by-side with OBL and his ilk, as Israel does with the Palestinians.
-Arrian
p.s. A better example would be the guys we actually did kill in Yemen with missle fire from a Predator.

Israel has become more effective in preventing attacks. The

142 Israelis killed in 22 bombings in 2003, compared to 214 killed in
53 bombings in 2002.
Analysts attributed the drop to Israel's partially built West Bank
barrier, its beefed up intelligence, a brief cease-fire in 2003 and
Hamas leaders' fears of assassination.

Indeed, given that Palestinian deaths decreased in half compared to the previous year, while the percentage of Palestinian terrorists to total deaths has increased, and Israeli deaths have also decrease in half, Israel must be doing something right.

Hamas as appointed a new leader though I doubt he will be as strong or influential as their founder. Israel needs to keep killing the top terrorist leaders as quickly as possible in order to deplete their supply of experienced and capable leaders. That more then anything else will weaken Hamas's ability to organize and co-ordinate large scale terror attacks.

Dropping missiles in the desert is a lot less likely to kill innocent bystanders than dropping them right outside a mosque in a city.

In this particular case, it was just bodyguards who got hurt. In previous cases, people walking nearby, would be rescuers, and ambulance personnel have been killed.

I thought the carload of guys we nailed were actually in a town at the time. I admit my memory of it is hazy.
I had issues with it at the time, and was shocked there wasn't a big uproar (at least here on 'poly  ) about it.

Um, Pax, it's a war, not pin the tail on the donkey. In Israel's shoes, that's exactly what I would think. Unreasonable would be to expect Israel to give up such an advantage, or to not press to extend it as far as humanly possible.
