Reuters:
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in the early hours of the morning in Iran, the Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Wednesday, describing the strike as a "severe escalation" that would not achieve its goals.

More unrest and uncertainty. Scary situation.
 

A very well placed single missile, that hit one flat in an apartment building. Hamas leaders are still using mobile phones, which the IDF has the technology to monitor in real time. This is the result of that specific technology, in action.

Hate is spreading. Countries need to choose leaders that will not spread hate. That goes for all countries even those that have freedom and democracy. Countries that have dictators, need to replace them. People need to overthrow dictators and dictator wannabes.

Your words are a mixed message. On the one hand, you talk about " not spreading hate" but then you advocate for the "Over throw " of dictators? I don't think there has EVER been a "peaceful removal of a Dictator ". Your OWN country has a long and bloody history of military intervention in the affairs of other nations, especially in Central and South America.
 
The give and take of this conflict will continue. The current conflict could cease today, and maybe that cessation could continue for a length of time, but there still would not be true peace in that region. The levels of animosity are so deeply embedded in the DNA throughout the region that it simply won't end. I may be cynical but only time will tell if I'm wrong.
 
I am wondering how heated the Arab countries are getting at this point. They must be on their phones constantly. No telling now what will happen. I don't think they are going to let this one go. I hope whatever they do doesn't draw the US into getting involved in a war. The war in Palestine is enough. I am not sure we can keep spending the massive amounts of money, because we need it in the US now. If there is a big war, I don't know what will happen. Kind of tense right now.

So... what would a solution be exactly? Let terrorist leaders roam free all over the world? Where would he have gone next? Canada? England? USA? Holding hands and swaying to "give peace a chance" doesn't work with terrorist leaders. And I kind of doubt that the dude planned to step into Israel where they could have gotten him without a missile.

I think there's an ideal of all the world living in peace but it's a pipe dream unless terrorism is obliterated. How does that happen? Close to impossible.

Terrorism is a form of Gorilla warfare. They have declared war on U but you bluff yourself and call it just Terrorism. Ur the fool.
Sooner or later one of em is gonna push the Button and Nuke stuff.

Then there is Quantum Computing where the Terrorist computer figures out your codes and you nuke yourselves.

You're not wrong! People in that region have been killing each other for thousands of years and they will continue to do so until the end of time.

Taiwan is the one that worries me most in reference to a possible nuclear exchange.

Yes, Taiwan is another possibility. But I think that China will wait until the whole thing heatens up in the Middle East or in the Ukraine and then take it's chance.

That is the greatest fear of all. It's not the fanatic with a rifle or a planted IED. As time passes too many fingers are near that button. When Truman gave the order to bomb Japan, our entire world and its levels of danger escalated to the point that the only defense is a willingness to reason.

At least for hundreds of years. The massacre of Yathrib, done by Muhammad.
"After the Battle of the Ditch Muhammad attacks the last ofthe large Jewish tribes of Medina, the Banu Qurayza. After a 25 dayssiege, they surrender unconditionally. In the end, all 600-700 malesof the tribe are killed and the women and children sold into slavery. Muslims have many versions trying explain away the cruelty of theseevents and are trying shift them blame away from Muhammad to the Jews themselves. "
Muhammad And The Banu Qurayza

Thousands of years, not hundreds. There were the Sumerian wars between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, the Akkadian Empire’s expansion 2300–2200 BC, and the Elamite-Sumerian conflicts around 2000 BC, to name just a few.

Regarding people in that region you're right. I didn't take it into consideration. I focused on Islam, which was much later.

Israel shot a missile into another nation and killed people. TWICE.
I think Iran's response would be similar to the USA/UK's response to missiles being shot into their countries.

Except USA/UK not shielding criminals and abetting in murder and wars. Big difference, IMO. Haven't seen any Death to Iran Marches in either country.
