[…] the topic of Israel’s hunt for Hamas leaders, both in Gaza and elsewhere. It answered some of my questions about how they got Arouri and what that might mean. They also discuss the human shield/hostage question. […]

Seeing pictures of these Hamas leaders in meetings remind me of the idea of “the banality of evil.”

These Hamas leaders look like businessmen, dressed in dark suits with shirts open at the collars. They could be kindly fathers, uncles, or grandfathers. Who would guess from the photos that these men have planned and approved of the most savage crimes imaginable?

A movie I enjoyed was "Eye in the Sky" ,which included tiny drones the size of bumble bees. At the time I was still working part time at the Los Angeles MEPS, the military recruit processing center. The next day or so, I was examining a guy who was joining the reserves (can't remember which branch) and we got talking. He told me he was joining to work on those tiny drones. He assured me that those in the movie existed.

I said a few days ago that the US seemed to be funding all sides in the Middle East, and streiff has the numbers.

Basically, the entire Lebanese police and military is paid by the US, which of course filters down to helping Hezbollah as well. The work we funded included uprooting Israeli intelligence networks.

“None of this is to say that the Biden national security goat rope knew the attack was coming, but it is hard to see how the outcome differed from being an active participant. Had we not been overawed by our cleverness and let Lebanon descend into its natural state, which is chaos and violence, Hamas would not have had a secure area in which to plan and to train, and the coming attack would probably have been discovered, and prevented.”

“Arouri helped plan the June 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens — Gil-ad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel.”
.
And:
” He served several terms in Israeli jails, and was released in March 2010 as part of efforts to reach a larger prisoner swap for Gilad Shalit, an IDF corporal kidnapped by Hamas in 2006. … ”
.
Are the dates wrong? Or were the kidnapping / murders truly in 2014, AFTER his prison stent?
