You're correct. Only the living survivors will care as they writhe in pain until they too don't care.
Yes, John Batchelor was just saying that Iran WANTS Israel and the Palestinians to have a "bloodbath"...and that the new tactic will be like Al-queda did in Iraq..
by having lots of kidnappings, with videos of beheadings and such.
Also, some man named Aaron in Israel said that a LOT of Israelis have been kidnapped...not just the two we have heard about.
