My bleeding heart only goes so far. I am not, per se, for the death penalty. However, I cannot for the life of me undetand the sadness or outrage from the left about the muder of Sheik Yassin.

To anyone who heard his speeches, Yassin was an extreme racist. Yet today I have heard him being called a moderate, a spiritual leader, and a host of other things that should not apply to a man who just like Hitler vowed to kill all Jews.

It is deeply insensitive to Jewish people everywhere to suggest that this man was some kind of saint. If the left truly believes all Jews should die, it is no left at all, simply a fascist mirror of the right with predjudices of it's own.

I understand the Palestinian struggle, and the needs of the people for freedom and peace. Yassin never in his life offered peace or looked for peace. In fact, he emphatically denied the peace process and constantly called for more murder. If there ever was a justifiable homicide, it happened to him. If he had resided in the U.S., he would be at Guantanamo right now.

If you think for a second that Hamas and Al Aqsa are going to truly escalate violence, you don't understand how escalated it has been even before the death of Yassin.

Over 40 bombing attempts are stopped in Israel daily. If you mean to say Yassin will come from the grave and make those forty people succeed, you really need to see a psychiatrist. There could be no more violence than is already attempted every day.

The only thing that happened is that Hamas leaders will be wary from now on about what type of racist doctrine they spew, because even if you are disabled, it will be equal rights for all racists, they will all meet the same fate. Racist speech IS a hate crime. Would that Yassin was limited like the KKK here to just speech, but he not only took it further, he was indeed a murderer.

Israel the racist aggressor.

Israel stole Palestine, terrorized the inhabitants, massacred, murdered and oppressed them for 60+ years.

Israel behaves like the Nazis, enclosing their victims in new Warsaw Ghettos.

The religious/political philosophy of Israel is clearly racist, clearly genocidal, clearly a crime against humanity.

Resistance to illegal occupation is lawful, and to be expected.

Get illegal occupiers off of Palestinian land and pay reparations to your many victims ... if you want peace. Sharon clearly never wanted peace. He is a man of war, of atrocities, of war crimes. Those that support him are likewise culpable in his crimes.

And that's the facts.

Oh sorry, did I spell that wrong?

You're categorically wrong on all counts. The most glaring being your inane assertion that "Isarel" stole "palestine".

Israel as a modern state, did not exist before '48 and palestine didn't then nor had it ever existed.

However, when the would be states of Israel and "palestine" were given land "palestine" said no. The rest is history. Their arab neighbors rushed in and annexed the land that would have been "palestine". NOT Isreal.

Get you facts straight.

I suspect you do have them straight and just prefer to lie since the truth and history paints a much darker image of your beloved "oppressed" (what a laugh) murderous "palestinians".

Palestine will and should have autonomy one day, but it will never happen until people like you admit that the situation is a two sided one with BOTH sides having much to atone for.

And by the way, Yassin was a piece of rolling racist filth and the world rejoices at his messy end.

Certainly the good guys are the Israelis and the bad guys are the Palestinians.

It's not the the Palestinian people are bad, but their leaders (Hamas, Arafat) definitely are evil.

Where the Palestinian people gain culpability is by supporting these obviously evil leaders.

If you lie down with dogs then you'll get up with fleas. That's what happened to the Palestinians. The dogs being Arafat and Hamas.
