Question:
Is it correct for Muslims to think that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is killing Muslims, should be assassinated? If it is correct, then if an opportunity arises to kill him anywhere outside Palestine, would that be right? If an Islamic government captures him, can they execute him in another country as punishment for the atrocities committed in Palestine? Or should he only be punished within Palestinian territory? Or should Muslims leave him and think that Allahﷻ will deal with him?
Answer:
He asks, in which way Islam permits fighting.
First of all, such thoughts themselves have misguided many people. Who are you to punish Netanyahu? Those who are directly involved are fighting in war. In war, one side kills and the other side kills in return. Those who have the right in this matter are the Palestinian people. Sitting here and imagining whether you personally can go and kill him is unrealistic. You are imagining situations that will never happen. Will he be lying somewhere alone for you to kill him? Such thoughts are just emotional excitement and provocation.
First, if Benjamin Netanyahu is caught under an Islamic rule, he would definitely be treated as a criminal responsible for killings. He has already been declared a criminal in international courts. If he enters certain countries, they may arrest him and punish him, possibly even with capital punishment. That is something within legal authority.
But can you personally go and kill him if you see him somewhere? Thinking like that is a symptom of unhealthy thinking. Imagining unrealistic scenarios and obsessing over them can lead to mental disturbance. These are unnecessary thoughts. If someone is a criminal, the appropriate countries or authorities will punish him if he is caught. Do you have any role in that? You have no opportunity and no ability to do anything. What you imagine will never happen. Why imagine something that will never occur?
