Let's have the lefties on the board answer this question. They are the ones who support him.
'cause the Israelis have let him?
Seriously though... I think that there are several reasons. At one point, there was belief that he actually was interested in finding peace. Obviously he isn't (or is indifferent to the point of effectively being guilty of not wanting it). Also, I'm sure there's pressure from us not to kill him. And, I think the Israelis themselves are a little unsure of doing it - not that it's not bad enough now, but killing him would open up an even bigger can of worms.
Just my opinion.
