The blatant overreaction of Israel to the abduction of one of its solders comes as no surprise. The tact approval of the USA is hardly a surprise either. Both parties are pushing for all out war in the Middle-East between the supporters of the USA and ‘the others’, mainly Syria and Iran.
USA has been itching for an excuse to invade one or both countries and they clearly think this escalation will perhaps provide they excuse they need to avoid international approbation.
way they can’t lose. If the other Arab nations don’t intervene to aid their weakest cousin, then Hezbollah, the legal government of Palestine, will be blown to pieces. If they *do* intervene they risk an invasion by the only superpower left on earth with the firepower to raze them to the ground.
While this suits the yanks it does *not* suit the rest of us who will be waiting for the next round of terrorist bombs to go off in retaliation for this attack as yet another wave of dispossessed youth fights back the only way it can.

Hamas is the legal government in Palestine.
Sorry, loose talk doesn’t help things does it :(.
In practice tho, there is little to choose between the two of them.
