I don't get your logic. If killing him means nothing in the grand scheme of
things then why was he killed? In fact, based on your above statement, I'd say
that this was less of an act of self defense and more of an act of cold blooded
murder. This would make Isreal no better than the terrorists they're fighting
against. Citing murder to justify murder is never the 'right' course of action.
