HAMAS and ISRAEL

UPDATE!  This is evolving!

This is worth a look...

Questions...

1. Are the hostages even in Gaza now?  It makes sense for Hamas to move them to their allies outside of Gaza, where the Israelis can't get to them.

2. Did the Israeli security service know about this, but chose to let it happen so that they can have an excuse to deal with Hamas once and for all, consistent with preferences of the very right wing Israeli government?  The Israelis are the best in the world at thwarting this kind of thing.  Is it believable that they were this incompetent?

3. Will the Left supporters of Gaza and the Palestinians in the West eat their words of support for the violence - blaming all of it on Israel - when they find out what is likely happening to those many attractive young women who Hamas chose to take captive rather than kill?  Isn't it obvious what is happening to them?  In the minds of these people, who are likely on the cutting edge of women's rights, is sexual violence against women actually OK, just as long as they are Jews?  

Who else thought that?

4. What does Israel intend after it evicts Hamas from Gaza?  Palestinians are being encouraged to flee to the border with Egypt, or to actually go to Egypt to avoid the bloodshed.  Does Israel intend to stay in Gaza and to annex the territory after effectively evicting the population?  

Sides are coalescing....
