Analysis || Don't expect a happy ending from Israel's West Bank operation

Suppose Netanyahu, instead of pushing the panic button, decided to talk to Abbas and requested of the Palestinian security forces to do all possible to in conjunctions with Israeli forces to return the boys. Of course, Neanyahu would have to have eaten some humble pie after declaring that since the PA united with Hamas, he would not talk to Abbas. A little flexibility on his part may well have returned the boys to their families by now---and would have been considered a victory for both Israelis and Palestinians. No matter how much damage Israel does to the Palestinian people, Netanyahu showers the world with his insensitivity, racist attitude. and arrogance. By his actions he places himself in the role of a dictator. How much bad press can Israelis withstand with his kind of leadership?

The popular use of "special sensitivities" by mass Zionist hasbara is out of touch with reality. Stop elevating Israel morality and dehumanizing Palestinians. We are just as sensitive. We are human beings and when you take the sons and daughters of our nation into your prisons as "terrorist" for throwing stones or demonstrating peacefully we weep and pray for their safe return. Public demonstrations do not occur out of a vacuum. Perhaps if Israelis and zionist would start viewing Palestinians and Arabs as human beings with complex emotions and identities, you would rethink that statement.

Knows that Israeli actions in the WestBank did more to jeopardize the safety of the three teens than it did to protect them. No sane Nation around the World would have responded as Israel has. Israel has undermined itself yet again and more or less sacrificed the lives of the three missing teens. Well done Israel!

Until the Israeli government can provide evidence that Hamas has kidnapped the three, or Hamas themselves claim responsibility; it cannot be taken as gospel that it has been done by Hamas just because Bibi and Shin Bet say so. Likewise, a kidnapping itself is not a terrorist act unless the kidnapping is done to create widespread terror in its target audience and to manipulate political decisions accordingly. Otherwise, kidnapping is then a crime just as any other. As it is still not clear where the kidnapped are or who kidnapped them; the actions of the IDF in restricting freedom of movement, indiscriminately arresting hundreds and the deaths of double those kidnapped is hardly proportionate, justifiable or legal.
