To Charliehall:

So why did Obama kill (allegedly) Osama Bin Ladin and then boast about it? I thought “we” don’t kill the leaders of our enemies. You can’t have it both ways.

“Countries often would love to knock out enemy leaders”

True, but this rarely works. The last head of state to die in a military operation was King Gustav Adolf of Sweden, in 1632.

Presumably ,everyone doubts that Lapid was the real instigator.

While generally your comments are appreciated (and you hopefully ignore the ad hominem attacks from those who are intimidated),here you are partially incorrect

Countries often would love to knock out enemy leaders(e.g. bombing Hitler and Saddam’s bunkers’)

The US would have been proud to broadcast the P-38s getting Yamamato,but that would have possibly uncovered Operation Purple.

BS”D
I’d like to think that the PM is making a distinction between the political/spiritual leaders of the wicked ones and the military commanders. Thus, the PM will avoid the mess of targeted killings regarding the leaders while having no hesitation targeting the military commanders, who are running the war from the underground bunkers. Hashem should help that these wicked ones should be found and killed.

To irrelevant me it seems that Netanyahu is in error in 5hat these rabid dogs are not heads of state where that philosophy might be otherwise applicable, rather, these dispirited creatures are terrorists, promoters and teachers of terrorists. They ought not be spared just as Agag king of Amaleik was not to be spared. If these miscreants are eliminated so many more lives could be spared and the war declared over! This is more like a Racheim Al haAchzor!

There is good reason to believe that Netanyahu is correct here. President Obama ordered the assassination of all the top Al Qaeda leaders. Al Qaeda doesn’t exist any more but violent Islamic extremism has not been reduced. And Obama’s political enemies have blasted him mercilessly for supposedly denying Al Qaeda leaders due process!

Very simple: Lev Melachim V’sarim b’yad Hashem.
