In reply to the discussion: Hamas admits kidnapping 3 young Israeli men, setting off Gaza war [View all]MrBig
(640 posts)24. I think the thread is meant more for clarification
There was some debate about whether Hamas actually did kidnap and kill the three Israeli teenagers. Quite a few people on this board, citing poor sources, claimed Israel was actually responsible for the kidnapping and killing of the teenagers and used that as a pretext to attack Gaza.
Therefore, I think the point of this thread is to close the chapter on the question of who was actually responsible for the kidnappings and deaths of the three children.
That being said, while I consider myself Pro-Israeli, I am vehemently anti-Netanyahu and I agree that these murders do not justify the reckless manner in which Israel has responded, causing the deaths of hundreds and hundreds of innocent Palestinians.

If Hamas admits to the kidnapping & murder, then Hamas should be held accountable

Following my posting style in an attempt to keep from getting a lock is a bad idea.

in that case, I misunderstood your post of a couple of days ago, and I'm sorry about that.
