It's a subjective thing and thus presents issues along those lines. Extrajudicial killings are, imo, highly suspect/wrong no matter who does them to whoever else. Your posts indicate it just depends on who does it to whom, which is not a conviction to the principle imo but a bias.
Some Palestinians might hold that Israeli leaderships, past and present, are/were made up of terrorists. Or even US leaderships.
The comment was made, recall the context, about how the state of Israel interferes with Palestinian elections/politics. If Palestinians were assassinating US candidates on the grounds that their voting into office would mean the ongoing state terrorism meted out to them would be sure to carry on or increase, you would not support it.
Blah blah bias blah....
Yes or no?
Is the killing of a terrorist a bad thing?
