Of course he's supporting them.

Good post, thank you!

The outskirts of Beer Sheva, according to Google Earth, is almost 24 miles from the closest part of Gaza. That’s like building a tunnel from the White Hut to Baltimore airport.

[nuconvert]

The story for building the tunnels makes sense.

If this is true, it not only totally justifies the current war, it makes it imperative to go all the way. I don't understand leaving HAMAS in tact. If I were Bibi Netanyahu, I would hit Gaza many time harder than he is so that they never contemplate such a horrific attack again but...they will because Obama & Co. support the Muslim Brotherhood/HAMAS.
The UN is complicate in this whole attack plan. Kick the UN out of New York and let them run the plenum from a 3rd world nation...

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

And Obama demands, DEMANDS that Israel cease fighting -- IN OUR NAME!!

THIS GUY'S GOTTA GO!!

How many BILLIONS(!!!) OF HARD-EARNED (!!!) TAX-PAYER dollars has the US donated to this cause????

And finally, with all of the tens of billions, or 12 years x 10 billion/yr = 100 billion spent on 35 different kinds of intelligence services, why has NOBODY in the US govt known or done anything about this???

Our hard won tax-dollars again at work against the interests of freedom and democracy and working in favor of THUGOCRACIES and DICTATORSHIPS out to KILL 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' for the only free people in the middle-east????

(from the article) :" If the timeline is accurate, that means this all started under Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen,
the so called moderate terrorist leader of the PA."

That goes to show that there is NO MODERATE ISLAMICIST .
Enough said !!

If in fact Israel was taken by surprise by the extent of the planning, this is probably the reason a cease fire can't be forced on them. Eliminating the southern threat in the event of an expanded war with Iran probably a close second.

“Israel also captured a few terrorists and WAS ABLE TO EXTRACT information about Hamas’s plans.”

How did they do that I wonder?

[Little Ray]

Is there anyone who thinks it is an accident that the Israelis started this offensive just two months before the attack was scheduled?

[RetSignman]

[SkyDancer]

Well then, I guess the Palestinians got what they wanted. A war.

[Jack Hydrazine]

As long as the Palies are there they will continue to do jihad against Israel until they are done away with permanently.

[Envisioning]

Israel has shown incredible restraint IMO. I wouldn’t blame them for killing them all....

[goodnesswins]

I am wondering...how many tunnels there may be in US near mosques...???

Original source material. Well, as original as you can get if you don’t speak Hebrew.

I tend to believe Bibi, but let’s remember we are in the fog of war. It’s a good story, but almost too good.

This is one of those things we should keep an eye on in the coming months when this whole thing has settled down.

[Eleutheria5]

Amazing. This is so far-fetched that it must be true. It is so hard to believe that it sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory that nobody would pay any attention to, except a B novelist looking for a plot. Sort of like smashing hijacked planes into tall buildings.
