Because they knew and know the reaction of the Israelis. (The 1982 killing sparked Israel's invasion of Lebanon.) And they wanted...
Time will tell whether pointing out what Idziak considers his weakest selling point, his grades, was a wise job-hunting strategy. Certainly the other elements of his résumé are very impressive.
