Israeli men are just that .. men. Men of character and integrity .. and you have taken a child in a man's game of war.
Your cowardice is known around the globe, and so far .. most have tried to grow you up by not making your land into glass .. but this child was not collateral .. he was targeted.
You will cry on the world stage when what you don't see coming ... arrives.
I, for one, will turn my back.
Time for you pond scum - or sand worms? - to reap the rewards of your deeds. It ain't gonna be pretty but the world will not pity..........Tkae 'em Out, Israel.
Probably true, but even without confirmation, the idea is to take away Israel's motive of "pressure the enemy to give up the captive". If military action resumes, it's now "vengeance".
I've got no problem with that, and I think the Palis are miscalculating if they believe Israel is concerned about world opinion.
Now, if they are serious about this the Israelis should level every structure in Gaza.
