who in the ever-loving hell do they think they are...?
yes, the hamas militants need to either stop or be stopped, but put this in a different context... what if our forces in iraq captured an imam (which they recently did) and the iraqi government threatened to assassinate bush if the imam wasn't released...? we would be screaming our outrage around the globe... israel is pissing away whatever precious little credibility they had left in the international community by resorting to this kind of criminal threat... next they'll be threatening gaza with nukes...
