It’s no secret that both Hezbollah and Israel are preparing for possibly another round of fighting, and recent violence — the assassination of a top Hezbollah commander and the killing of Jewish seminary students — seems to reinforce fears that war may be just around the corner in the Mideast.

Interesting how the word “assassination” – meaning premeditated murder – is used in relation to the Hezbollah commander, but when it comes to the premeditated murder of 8 Jewish boys, the less harsh word “killing” suffices.
