It would be silly to claim that the death of a leader is not a setback

So why did you say that Hamas didn't need a live spiritual leader, a dead one was just as good?

So far, Rantisi has claimed the leadership, and then been forced to back down. So the only head Hamas has right now is Khaled Mashaal, who is in Damascus, which cannot help Hamas' chances of taking over Gaza from Fatah, let alone the West Bank.

TWT how much difference Yassin's death will make. But it makes no sense to me claim that it won't make any, particularly as Hamas has not been able to yet formulate either a showy revenge attack or adopt an undisputed new leader. Especially if one makes the claim not on evidence, but on the "principle" that killing terrorists never makes a difference.
