There's no evidence for this whatsoever. Just Israel's word. Or should I say propaganda.

@gosciu555 no i mean gilad shalit who was kidnapped by hamas in 2006. hamas wont even let the red cross visit him to this very day.

and even hamas said they would kidnap more israeli soldiers.

@walkingandthinking

You mean Hezbollah in 2006? You don't have any proof they were trying to do any of that.

[walkingandthinking]

@gosciu555 "6 people are going to invade israel?" you mean like in 2006 when hamas kidnapped an israeli soldier from israeli territoery? because that is what those 6 were attempting to do.

"israel groomed its own...sellouts in palestine,if anyone launched them it was them." if you really believe that than youre one serious freak.

[gosciu555]

"the 6 hamas fighters that wer...n a school trip." HAHA, what? 6 people are going to invade Isreal? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU FREAK? They have the right to defend themselves, thats the bottom line. They have the right to elect who ever the fuck they want. Isreal has no business trying to vandalize Palestine into having a gov. that they don't want.

[gosciu555]

3 rockets? I CAN LAUNCH 3 ROCKETS if I want. Hamas has no purpose in launching these rockets. Its well known that that Israel has groomed its own class of sellouts in Palestine, if anyone launched them it was them Israel wanted to show their "deterrent" capability and beat some people down. Its genocide pure and simple.

[walkingandthinking]

3 rockets a month for 4 months means 12 violations of the ceasefire by hamas.

the 6 hamas fighters that were killed on the 4th of november were on their way to an attack on israel. they were not there on a school trip.

thank you for posting this interview. it is time for the north American public to see the dangers of the state of Israel, this has been clear to the public in the middle east for decades and the rest of the world since the 2006 bombardment of southern Lebanon.
