One question isn't being raised in this entire scenario, are these Israeli hostages actually Hamas supporters/collaborators?
My answer has always been , YES. Just as college campuses have Jewish Pro Hamas supporters, Israel has the same, and some of them are in the IDF.
Could it be Israel let these fools get taken because they knew what they were up to?
What were they up to exactly? Drug smuggling, weapons, trafficking, drug manufacturing, and human smuggling are a huge problem along the Southern Dead Sea Israel/Jordanian corridor.
I'd make a bet that Hamas & the IDF made a deal to I.D the players and let them get what they deserve. People forget that Israel is basically a Radical Marxist State. Good orthodox jews are in the minority. Marxist stick with Marxists.
This whole game is "weeding out" operation.
Oh, and how about those Thai women. Are they illegal house cleaners, prostitutes, farmers, drug mules, etc..?
