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.
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.
I summarized someone else’s source. Take it up with them.
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
Sounds fucking ridiculous. Especially when you consider they FORCED their own citizens out of settlements in Gaza in 05.
