SHEIK YASSIN FINALLY SENT TO HELL


After years of holding back, out of fear of backlash, out of the misguided sympathy that exists in a world that focuses more on physical disability than ethical disability, Israel finally sent Sheik Yassin to the special hell reserved for those who most profane G-d's name by cloaking mass murder in religious garb. World leaders, who managed nary a peep of protest to the hundreds of innocent Israelis butchered upon the orders and blessings of Yassin, have already protested the act, condemning Israel for killing "a man in a wheelchair" as if Yassin was nothing more than a kindly old Palestinian grandfather. But that fact of his paralysis does not absolve him of the evil perpetuated in his name, any more than a failed strike on bin Laden that left him bereft of his limbs bus still alive would somehow require our government to abandon its pursuit of that mass murderer. This was not a "extra-judicial" killing, this was not a "part of the cycle of violence" - it was justice, a legitimate act of self-defense by a people against a genoicidal leader of a genocidal enemy. Unfortunately, there will be other evil sheiks that will try to take Yassin's place and brainwash young men and women into suicidal mass-murderers, but none with the same level of authority. Now, as Israel prepares to withdraw from Gaza, is the time to continue to deliver crippling blows to Hamas, to give at least the glimmer of hope of a Gaza that someday soon is no longer the Gaza of Sheik Yassin - hell on earth.
