As a supporter of Palestinian rights, the murders of these two Israeli diplomats PISSES me off. Cold blooded murder of [View all]

this sort has NO justification and NO EXCUSE. The loser who did this is, imho, a "True Believer" sort who looks for a cause -- any cause -- to give their life "meaning" and purpose. I'm opposed to the death penalty for a variety of reasons, but cases of this type help me to understand -- but not agree with -- those for it.

This also DEEPLY damages the actual plight of the Gazans. Hamas can go to hell as far as I am concerned, but not the civilians caught in this humanitarian crisis.
