Gaza's Capone
(Washington Times) Editorial - Since the current war began on September 29, 2000, Hamas, under Yassin's leadership, has carried out more than 400 attacks, in which it killed 377 Israelis and wounded 2,076 others. (This would be equivalent to killing nearly 19,000 Americans and wounding 100,000 others over 41 months.) Just as the U.S. is determined to kill bin Laden and senior al-Qaeda operatives before they kill more Americans, Israel understands that it must do the same to Hamas' leadership. Mafia boss Al Capone, renowned in certain neighborhoods for helping orphans and the poor, was a thug and a murderer, who destroyed untold lives - just like the properly executed Sheikh Yassin.
