False Outrage

So, I stop by Drudge this morning and he has emblazoned across the top of the page, in blood red letters, “Hamas Leader Killed in Israel." Drudge also has six additional blood red letter links to other fallout stories on this incident.  Clicking the link to the story, one can find this quote.

"Yussef Haddad, 35, a taxi driver, said he saw the missiles hit Yassin and the bodyguards.

“Their bodies were shattered,” he said."

I’m guessing that Yussef’s statement is supposed to be an expression of outrage.  Hmm, let me see if I have this right.  Sharon targets and kills this Hamas leader and 3 of his henchman or fawning acolytes, and the entire Palestinian population expresses outrage and a taxi driver laments that the “bodies were shattered.” Don’t the Palestinians normally celebrate, profusely, when bodies are shattered.  Well, as long as they are Jew bodies they do.

If you think about this incident a little deeper, shouldn’t the Palestinian’s be celebrating over the Hamas guy’s shattered body.  I mean, isn’t this guy now wallowing in pleasure, he’s a martyr after all, with his 70 doe eyed virgins?

The New York Times leads with this story also.  If it had been a Palestinian blowing up some innocent Jews on a bus would it be a lead story?

Update: More false outrage from Reuters. “Muslim Fury, Western Condemnation at Yassin Killing."

Does this mean killing “leaders” is multiple levels higher of morally wrong than killing innocents?
