Israel "violated international law". How dare they actually take out the bastard who has killed thousands of their civillians, and was trying to kill thousands more! Doesn't Israel know already that they are just supposed to sit there and take it?! It is NO DIFFERENT than the US going after Bin Laden. The blatant, in-your-face double standard is astounding.The White House said Monday it was "deeply troubled" by Israel's assassination of Yassin.
"We are deeply troubled by this morning's actions in Gaza," White House Scott McClellan said.
Earlier Monday, the United States denied it had given the green light to Israel to kill Yassin and appealed for calm in the region following the assassination.
The European Union and other countries condemned Israel's killing of Yassin as a violation of international law that has further "inflamed" tensions in the Middle East.
