    … How do you identify government leadership in a group that notably violates the Geneva conventions at least as often as Israel by going plain clothes and hiding in the civilian population? Do you think Israel has police forces in Gaza still?

      Well we know who the literal president of Hamas is, start with him and work your way down the list of more and more obscure leaders

        Additionally, Mossad is one of the most successful and widespread intelligence agencies in the planet. I don’t buy anyone saying they don’t already have lists a mile long and the resources to carry it out.

          Others have pointed out but Mossad are a different branch of the Israeli intelligence apparatus than the folks who’d likely be handling this, but the point most likely stands either way that this whole incident represents an abject failure of intelligence ops in preventing a large scale attack.

      Speaking out of my ass and for America, we would use our “intelligence” and latest spy equipment.

          That may have taken us years but I don’t think we have an open policy of shutting down whole cities with threat of annihilation.

          These quick comments are not enough to do justice to these topics but I do not mean to upset anyone.
