    Yea, and I am very skeptical of a rave being held next to a prison with tanks actively on stand-by.

    Hamas aren’t heros, being set up by Israel to destabilize Palestine in the first place, but with Israeli citizens being reservist members of the military, something smells about this. Hamas has no gain from a strike against a music festival.

    Ignoring circumstances and just calling them dumb terrorists is short sighted and is a blatant demonizing attempt by Israel to justify their continued oppression of Palestinians.

    This is also one retaliatory attack by a nation of people’s subjected to decades of violent persecution, being mad at water for boiling when left on a hot burner.

      So wait, your position is that Israel is behind the Hamas attacks on Israel, in order to justify their military action against Gaza?

      Do you have any evidence to support that?

        No. I’m sketch that Isreal is hiding something that they were doing on site near the festival and is using the event (not affiliated with Israel, just a rave that happened to be on site) as a cover for the reason Hamas chose it as a target.

        There is the possibility that something is unknown here and innocent civilians on Israel’s side were stuck in the crossfire. When I mentioned civilians being reservist it is more than any could be apart of something the others don’t know about. So some were there for the rave, others could be there for something off record that warranted tanks on standby.

        Then there is Hamas using the Palestinian plight as a cover for their goals. They very well could have their own political goals that are not readily apparent. So reality we might never truly know “why” the site was targeted.

        I have no evidence to support it. I just cannot understand what significance or benefit Hamas attributed to a rave that warranted going through all the trouble of bypassing Israel defenses.
