An inexplicable lack of action on the part of the IDF. It smelled then - and smells worse now. Guess that was the "Pearl Harbor" moment they needed as a pretext. Yes, I believe Bibi and his ultra-nationalist backers are capable of that evil. They'll deny and deny of course. It's obvious that they needed some
exceedingly vile action on the part of Hamas that would galvanize the Israeli public. Oh sure, some Jews would get killed - but hey - most of those
at the festival were "Lib Jews." I hope justice comes to Bibi et al.
