Ahmed Yassin was not a nice man. But lynching - this time done by
rockets - isn´t nice either, and if you kill 7 other people and wound
17, when doing it, then you are not a good guy either.

If Israel had the proof that Yassin was the mastermind behind
the bombings that Hamas has claimed to be responsible of, then it
could have come clean and show the evidence to whole the world and
demand that the Palestinian Authority bring him to justice or that
otherwise they will. But they didn´t.

Justice, the rule of law, isn´t for nice people only. No one should be
above the law, no one should be outside it, so that you can kill him
or her without that you are yourself brought on trial. If Yassin was
- as I believe, by the way - partly responsible for the current slaughter
in Palestine, then his place would have been in courtroom, not in
morgue. And the same goes for Ariel Sharon, Saul Mofaz and other
Israeli leaders.

Those who support the murder of some 150 Palestinian activists by
Israel, mainly by missiles launched from helicopters, should remember
that about the same number of innocent bystanders have died. And
most of them remember - but don´t care. Because they simply lack
one of the things that makes us human: Empathy.
