On the morning of October 7, shortly after the horrific massacre and torture of 1200 Israelis, including women and children, a video emerged of the vile Haniyeh smiling and thanking Allah after watching scenes of the Hamas terrorists on television.
Fittingly, the sick scene took place in Turkey, where Haniyeh, who lived in the lap of luxury, was staying in a hotel along with senior Hamas figures.
Turkey, of course, condemned Haniyeh’s “shameful assassination” along with other evil countries such as Iran, Qatar, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, China, and Russia, which without a trace of irony, called it a “completely unacceptable political murder.”

there are rumors out there that Turkey and Qatar have a frum lobbyist representing them, I have a hard time believing that a frum Yid would lobby for blood thirsty terrorists, even if you are an anti Zionists you should not be helping Jew killers.

Now he is rejoicing infinitely more, with his 72 virgins & allah
The Gemara tells us (Gittin 55b): Ashrei adam mefached tamid. We are warned by Rabbi Yochanan that we must not simply a view an event in isolation; an event must be viewed globally, taking into account possible consequences.
In this light, we should be careful before cheering the assassination of Haniyeh. Of course, he was evil and of course he deserved to die. But Israel has to ask itself: are we truly prepared for any consequences of this action? What are those potential consequences, and is killing him worth risking those consequences? I don’t know the answer, but I believe it is a legitimate concern.
