Israel deserves criticism for indiscriminately bombing the general location where terrorists live, and accepting that civilian casualties are part of the deal, but then people continue to criticize a sophisticated and precision attack against the enemy combatants with an absolute minimum of civilian casualties. Seems like people think Israel has no right to defend itself at all, and makes you wonder if it's just good old fashioned anti semitism.

Sure let's ignore the whole in a country they aren't at war with thing.

I don't know what country you live in but if someone bombed my neighborhood to take out a single person people would be rightly outraged.
