I am afraid there may be much more violence in Palestine and Israel.
I think that if Sheikh Yassin had issued the appropriate fatwa during the cease-fire, all attacks would have stopped despite Israeli provocation.
Regardless of circumstances, I believe it is wrong to kill unarmed civilians.

Israel must immediately remove all soldiers from Palestinian lands. There can be no excuse made available to Chairman Arafat, so that he may violate the principles of democracy.
The killing of a Rabbi, a dedicated man of God, by Islamic Jihad is the pinnacle of unacceptability. If the Rabbi was wrong in his faith, which is not an issue which mortal men may decide, it is matter which only God may judge ultimately.
If the death of the Rabbi were accepted, where would it stop? With the murder of Sheikh Yassin? Or even Ayatollah Ali Khameneh'i or His Holiness Pope John Paul II?
No, these are all dedicated men of God, who serve and worship Him as they are commanded, and as the evidence dictates.
I also call upon the true clerics of Holy Islam, to issue the appropriate fatwa to stop the violence in the lands that contain the sites Holy to the God of Abraham. Of course, Jihad must continue while there remains unfairness and injustice, however it need not be violent Jihad.
