Ramon: Hamas leader Meshal is definitely assassination target

Justice Minister Haim Ramon said Wednesday that Hamas' Syria-based leader, Khaled Meshal, is a target for assassination for ordering the kidnapping of an Israel Defense Forces soldier in the Gaza Strip.

"He is definitely in our sights... he is a target," Ramon told Army Radio. "Khaled Meshal, as someone who is overseeing, actually commanding the terror acts, is definitely a target."

Meshal is responsible for the Sunday attack on an IDF base, in which two soldiers were killed and a third kidnapped, Ramon said.

1. Hope they get him.

And get their soldier back. Hostage taking is unconscionable.

2. Taking a soldier prisoner is unconscionable??

Yet according to you the targetted assassination of a political leader is something to hope for? How does that logic work?

3. Are they prepared

to hold him until the end of the war, and then repatriate him? Or will we find his dead body somewhere, probably sometime this week?

4. You didn't answer the question...

How exactly is capturing a soldier considered unconscionable (and do you also consider it the same way when Israel or the US do it?), yet say in the same breath that yr hopeful that Israel will carry out a targeted assassination?

5. Sure I did.

You just didn't like the answer.

If they keep him captive alive and cared for properly, fine. If they kill him, which they will, then they are not "soldiers' but war criminals.
