Bombing? Lets be frank, this was a targeted assassination by a nation state. Say all you want about Ahmed Jabari but his modus operandi was a direct result of a life of occupation and subjugation. You don't go into prison at the age of 22 and come out 13 years later a happy individual. I mean it was only 6 years ago that Hamas was democratically elected in a process considered fair and transparant, only for the elections to be found null and void by those (US/Israel et al) outside of Gaza!

  His land was being occupied -- and with deplorable tactics at that.

    care to expand? who was doing the occupation? what were the "tactics". please provide reputable (meaning not random websites, government websites are okay as long as they're not from involved parties, ie Hamas' website is not considered reputable) sources while you're at it.

        1. wikipedia =/= reputable 2. Look at the contents of all those "resolutions" and you come to realize that none of them stand or are unbiased. 2a. A lot of those Resolutions are contradictory and self referential. anything else?

Conveniently sidestepping the US State Dept and Israeli soldiers accounts too. May I suggest that it's not the UN who is "biased" but you?
