Foreign Minister Eli Cohen told Israeli Army Radio that Israel’s war aims are not just the total destruction of Hamas, but the country also aims to reduce the size of Gaza. The pronouncement is the most explicit indication yet that Israel will move to annex parts of Gaza, as some analysts have speculated.

    A ploy? Meaning they hired Hamas to attack and kill their own people so they could then take more land?

        What you linked is very different than “this latest attack is a ploy to take more land”.

        Your own fucking source suggests it was an attempt to maintain what little peace they could.

        Did you even read it? Did anyone who downvoted me read it?

          Sure maintain peace, and not undermine the Palestinian Authority. That’s why he gave the radical group support.

          The point of that link is to show you that bibi has ties with hamas and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he still has some sorts of connection, if not influence then intel.
          The plot of “provoke an attack - allow it to happen - retaliate with force - steal land as a result” isn’t that hard to imagine, because this shit happens all the time. Even I remember the exact same thing from 2 years ago

      In less than 10 hours after the hospital blast, Isreal released a torrent of evidence they didn’t do it. Video, film, conversations, informants, ect. But I’m suppose to believe they were in the dark about the Octobet attack? Even after advanced warning from the U.S and Egypt. That dog won’t hunt monsignor. At best they didn’t know how bad it would be.

        They were totally in the dark, yet hours later justified every bomb with their precise information of how every single bomb target was a known hideout for Hamas terrorists.

      No, they didn’t hire Hamas. They actually created them like they exist today.

      By not doing anything after the Oslo agreements and just sitting their happily that they could de facto occopy the area while someone else (the internation community) pays until Hamas got a majority in 2006.

      By even then not supporting the peaceful side against Hamas but sitting their gloating as Palestinians killed Palestinians.

      By indirectly supporting Hamas to use them as an excuse showing that the National Authority isn’t speaking for Palestinians and so there is no need to work with them in any way.
