My reaction, when I read people calling for Arafat's murder (as you just did), is exactly the same as when I read of people praising Palestinian suicide bombers. Strip away all the "nuance", all the hair-splitting, and those two acts (one of which you condemn, and the other you hope for) are identical. Identical in thought, identical in result

Taken only one step further, and you could say that someone who wished to kill Hitler in 1944 was no different from those who were perpetrating the Holocaust. After all, both were killing or wishing to kill, weren't they?

Do you say this?
