Israel Is Not Playing Games

The Palestinians are a bit shell shocked because they were stupid and kidnapped an Israeli soldier. They expected to negotiate an exchange with Israel but the Israelis would have none of the negotiations. Instead, they attacked the Palestinians and they have been cutting a path of destruction across the Gaza. Israel has maintained all along that they want the soldier released and they will withdraw. They have indicated that they are not trying to take the Gaza back, they just want their soldier.

The Hamas government of Palestine is a bit on edge because of the ferocity of Israel. They have now called for a cease fire and they are continuing to throw out demands. They refuse to release the soldier outright and instead are seeking an exchange. In the Star Trek movie The Wrath of Kahn, Ricardo Montalban (who played Kahn) said, “You are in a position to demand nothing, sir.” It seems that Hamas is on a position to demand nothing. They are under attack and will be destroyed if they continue this folly.

The Israelis can not give in to demands. If they do, a lot more of their soldiers will be kidnapped. Hamas does not want to come away empty handed because they will lose face in the Arab world, not to mention the amount of property they will have lost for nothing. The fact is, they committed a crime and the Israelis are making them pay. If they truly want a cease fire they will release the Israeli soldier and then, perhaps they will be able to discuss the release of prisoners.
