Boviosity!

Headline in today's Atlanta Journal & Constitution (print only, apparently):

Hamas leader's slaying prompts end of truce

That's some truce, the kind where you get to KILL CHILDREN ON A PUBLIC BUS and then proclaim immunity for the leadership of your group. If I'm ever a terrorist, that's the kind of truce I'm going to want.

Lead on a story about the events in the area online:

JERUSALEM -- Israel plans to kill more militant leaders if the Palestinians do not begin arresting and disarming extremists, Israeli officials warned on Friday following a lethal helicopter missile strike on a Hamas chief.

Shouldn't that say, "Israel plans to kill more militant leaders if the militant leaders don't stop KILLING CHILDREN?"

Oh, and dig this:

The militants called off their two-month-old cease-fire and promised more suicide bombings and other attacks on Israeli targets

[in response to the Israeli action]

Wasn't the cease-fire over when the murdering pig-sacs KILLED A BUNCH OF CHILDREN AND OTHER CIVILIANS ON A PUBLIC BUS?

And don't get me started on the talk I hear of Israeli "retaliation" for the bus bombing by killing one of the people responsible. What we need is some "pretaliation." Kill the people who are planning these actions. Now. Before they kill more innocents.

I find this ginned-up tit-for-tat infuriating. When a suspected murderer is holed up in a home, firing out into the street and threatening to kill more people, and is taken out by a SWAT sniper, do we say that SWAT retaliated for the murderer's crime? No. The Israelis have dozens upon dozens if not hundreds of murderers holed up all across the Gaza strip. Take 'em out.
