In its current attack on Gaza, Israel has chosen to play the "many eyes
for an eye" card and take 64 "hostages", a number of whom are elected
Hamas MPs.
Can Israel's allies - I mean the US - allow it to take democratically
elected officials hostage because one soldier is being held by as yet
unknown parties within Gaza? Is there evidence that Hamas politicians
are directly responsible for the kidnap? What was the soldier doing in
Gaza? The latest press releases from CNN, CBS and Reuters suggest an
all-out assault on Gaza from the land, air and sea, indicating that
this has become more than a show of force to release one soldier.
