What truly amazes me is how Israel and its allies with all of their sophisticated surveillance techniques can't locate what's left of the Israeli hostages. I think the Israel/US media is having us over.
IN other words, Israel is keeping 9000 Palestinians in safe surroundings while they continue to hunt for Hamas who use Palestinians as human shields in large areas which they know that the Israelis will continue to search and destroy. The rights groups should realise this, however, it does not suit their Anti-Israeli agenda.
Innocent Palestinians, innocent Isaelis etc. are all suffering because Hamas overstepped the mark some nine months ago and started something which may never be resolved.
