Planned Boobytrap For Terrorists From 20008-2009? Really?

The morning news theory now is that Israel planned the past boobytrap (my word) of exploding devices held by Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon way back 15 years ago.  Announcers are full of distain for Israel when they pronounce that about 12 "people"-note, not the word "terrorists" who were given the devices, were killed.

Everyone has forgotten the terrorists, Hamas of Gaza, who committed the worst horrors of the century in their attack on Israelis living along the border of Gaza. 

 As part of the attack, 364 civilians were murdered and many more wounded, raped and tortured by Hamas at the Supernova Sukkot Gathering, an open-air music festival during the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret near kibbutz Re'im. Hamas also took 40 people hostage. Reports have been varied:  

The war ignited by Hamas' attack is far from over. Some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed in Israel on Oct. 7, and another 250 were taken hostage.Jun 28, 2024

A total of 97 hostages remain unaccounted for after being kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October last year. According to Israel, 251 Israelis and foreigners were taken during the 7 October attacks.Sep 1, 2024  

Whatever was happening in Israel about 15 years ago? During the years of 2008-2009, The Gaza War, also known as Operation Cast Lead (Hebrew: מִבְצָע עוֹפֶרֶת יְצוּקָה), also known as the Gaza Massacre (Arabic: مجزرة غزة), and referred to as the Battle of al-Furqan (معركة الفرقان) by Hamas, was a three-week and one day armed conflict between Gaza Strip Palestinian paramilitary groups and the Israel Defense Forces ...from December 27,2008 to January 18, 2009

Location	Gaza Strip and Southern Israel
Result	Israeli military victory IDF declared unilateral ceasefire, 12 hours later Hamas announced a one-week ceasefire. Humanitarian crisis and deterioration of infrastructure and basic services in Gaza. Temporary reduction in the number of rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip

 The beginning of the operation on December 27, 2008

On December 27, 2008, the seventh day of Hanukkah, the IDF launched Operation 

Cast Lead in Gaza. The aim of the operation was striking infrastructures, used for 

terror activities and rocket fire from the Gaza Strip targeting Israeli civilians.

Around midday, the Israeli Air Force began to attack Hamas' infrastructures in Gaza, 

including underground tunnels and rocket launching sites.

What Israel is being accused of would have taken a seer to look into the future, and even  Mossad to plan such a plan to be used for a rainy day when needed desperately. Now, many Arabs have accused Israel for all the weather conditions, as one example of bad things that happen to such a "sweet" group as terrorists, but this borders on the ridiculous !   Hamas has never stopped shelling Israel since this time!  

It is a time when Israel is facing a world UN announcement against Israel, with their plot to create a state for terrorists alongside Israel called Palestine.  It's a time when Israel, after being accepted by the UN and the world in 1948 is now fighting for its very life on 7 fronts!  Even now the USA warns that it's okay for Israel to defend itself, but they don't want to supply the weapons for it as too many of the enemy, planted in the way, will die.  What is Israel to do?  

All Israelis have ever asked for was to live in peace on the very land their ancestors had lived on; and once, England had promised them this very thing in the Balfour Declaration at the end of WWI when the Ottoman Empire lost its holdings of Palestine.  The land was to become the Jewish Homeland.  Remember?  

Israel is crushed by accusations of cruelty in the number of deaths of Palestinians which are caused by the terrorists who hide behind them in all the wrong places;  mosques, schools, hospitals, etc, who want to sacrifice their people in  order to gain success against the Jews of Israel.  Here, someone, maybe Israel somehow, have used a common tool of life, a communication system, as a means to slow down their achievements of killing Israelis by wounding them; with only about 12 deaths;  deaths of terrorists, most likely with one child probably already trained on a rifle.  

President Biden, you created a committee investigating the causes of anti-Semitism.  Add this to the list;  never-ending anti-Semitism stemming from a people who couldn't accept their possible very distant cousins living on land they were forced to leave by Romans, the Jews of today.
