Ooops 800 people are dead because we THINK Hamas may have killed those teenagers?

Is this for real???

And I kid you not!!! Watching how quickly Israel escalated everything, no investigation, I said to my roommate "This is is fishy".

Usually if there is some sort of terror attack, the offending group will claim responsibility. This stank from the get when there was no claim, and when Israel was in Gaza like IMMEDIATELY.

Sorry but I'm suck to my stomach how we can have such destruction, such loss of life...

ON WHAT IS NOW A OOPS, WE MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG??

WHAT THE HELL!

And no, it's not really about the teenagers. It's about (your choice
a) Hamas firing rockets into Israel
b) Threats from Palestinian tunnels
c) Israel's need for a little more territory to be liberated from unwashed Palestinians
d) Some combination of the above

And then started mass arrests of Hamas members in the West Bank.

And then killed six of them in Gaza.

And then the rockets started flying.

Netanyahu is trying to blow up not only Gaza, but the Palestinian unity deal between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.

The man needs to be in a cell at the Hague.
