Imagine if this was reversed and the Iranians murdered an Israeli military advisor.

You act like they would not, given the chance. There is no love lost between Iran and Israel.
Not really my point. To clarify, Israel seems to get a pass for this kind of behavior where other countries would not.
As abhorrent as I find these extrajudicial executions, I can't remember any country facing any real reprecussions for stuff like this.
Novachok in playgrounds, polonium poisonings, journalists getting sawed into pieces, generals being blown up in their cars. We all must have read a pretty long list of these killings by government actors. I cannot remember any consequences except sternly worded letters.
Sanctions are one thing but there's also condemnation from media and political figures. Compare the outrage in the West about the Kashoggi murder vs. this:
I see your point. Kashoggi was special because he was a journalist and the journalistic world should stick up extra for their own. I saw plenty of outrage of Israel targeting these journalists in this round of the Gaza conflict.
Why exactly do they think they have the right to do that?
-
they have the backing of the world's biggest imperialist power
-
they believe they're god's chosen people and anyone outside of the group is subhuman
It's the same as any other military operation. Who's going to stop them? Rules don't mean anything if no one enforces them.
Because Iran is openly advocating for the destruction of Israel, funds terrorists do work towards that goal and is putting their top military brass in a hostile neighboring country doing God knows what.
israel is a terrorist state
So is Iran.
They also they are murdering women for not wearing hijab.
Pretty sure that's Iraq.
I hate this pariah state
Edit: I mean the settler colony and not Iran. I am glad my government made peace with Iran.
Aiming at babies and missed for a change.
So you are telling me that they were justified in bombing Syria?
Israel will justify any bombing for any reason when convinient, you do not like it? Then that means you are just anti-semetic™
Everyone knows about the USS Liberty incident, for example. And if they do not, then they should know about it.
