Remind me again , who are the terrorists ?
Hezbollah, and Iran which funds them.
Israel took out a guy who helps run Hezbollah which is running terror attacks against Israel.
He made himself a legitimate target.
Fair game in someone else's country?
You can't just go in someone else's country and bomb it.
Think yanks would be happy with that happening in their country?
It's called terrorism lady.
...chief of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon — a role that would have made him a top coordinator between Tehran and Hezbollah.
Israeli officials had no immediate comment on what appeared to be a hit against a high-value target in response to escalating Iran-orchestrated attacks by Hezbollah from Lebanon as well as to more sporadic threats by pro-Tehran militias in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
In a March 29 statement, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a strategic shift from fending off Hezbollah to pursuing it. “We are turning from pushing back [Hezbollah] to hunting it,” he said. “Everywhere Hezbollah is found, we reach. This is true for Beirut, Baalbek, Tyre, Sidon, Nabatieh and across the entire sector, and it is also true for much more distant places like Damascus and beyond. Everywhere we need to act, we will act.”

But I definitely question of the wisdom of this attack..
Would it have been wiser to allow him to attack Israel.....

I'm no Iranian apologist nor am I anti-Israel but I'm just not sure how wise this particular attack is?

I'll certainly shed no tears for this guy's passing.
But I definitely question of the wisdom of this attack.
Its sure as hell going to cost Israel a lot of support and only bolster those opposing Israeli policy.
It'll give a certain amount of legitimacy to whatever response Iran may take.
And it could quite easily have serious geopolitical ramifications.

Let's say this guy was hiding out at the Iranian consulate in DC instead of Syria. Would you approve of Israel launching an attack on it, potentially putting American lives at risk?

DC wouldn't be protecting him and allowing him to do terrorism out of DC, and wouldn't be aiding him in his terrorism. If it did, then in the name of self preservation, Israel would have the right to hit that building in DC.

Even Candace Owens and Alex Jones have flipped on Israel.
