"The Shin Bet security service opposes targeted killings of
Palestinian politicians, Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin told the security
cabinet Wednesday. "


"The third category is Palestinian political leaders, and Diskin told
the cabinet that he opposes targeting such people at all. "Has it
helped us in the past?" he demanded.
"


Note the "Has it helped us in the past?"

So Hariri, Gemayel etc is just std politics wrt your mates the Israelis.

The diff twixt the Syrian intel & Mossad is that you cover & veto
on behalf of Mossad & thus they have carried out more hits.

It would not surprise me to find the gemayel thing was mossad.

Iran or Israel. They are the only ones who'd have something to gain by the
action & it's timing.


Wrt the Russian, the Israelis have used your WoT to carry out such actions
& have not been criticized by you &/or your gov.

Noone knows who ended Arafat's life but...no criticism & before you
think it's all new & Russian...rememeber Khaled Mashaal (a head bod in
Hamas) & Amman & Mossad ....

Once again the hit was tied to an event which might harm Israel

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=701033

"A few days before the failed assassination attempt on Hamas leader
Khaled Meshal in Jordan in 1997, King Hussein conveyed an offer from the
Hamas leadership to reach an understanding on a cease-fire for 30 years.
That offer, intended for then-prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
conveyed by a Mossad representative, reached Netanyahu only after the
botched hit.

This is just one of the details about past incidents that former Mossad
chief Efraim Halevy reveals in his book, "Man in the Shadows,"
coming out in Britain on April 4, and soon to be released in Hebrew by
Matar Publishing. In the book, Halevy discloses previously unknown details
about security affairs from Israel's past."

"In September 1997, a Mossad squad tried to assassinate the leader of
Hamas, Meshal, by drizzling poison in his ear. The attempt failed, two of
the agents were captured and others found refuge in the Israeli embassy in
Amman. Halevy recounts that King Hussein considered Israel's conduct a
severe betrayal, made worse in view of the Hamas offer he had conveyed to
Israel."
