This is the problem with agenda driven folks.
1st, they cite anything that seems to support their supposed expertise on the subject matter
2nd, the information presented by said type of people only lead to mislead those that are to lazy to research the claims.
Rubbish you ask? Well, let's look at the articles and see.
First is there a common theme to each of them (other than the kidnapping)? Why,yes there is. A single spokesman cited by any news agency looking for headlines.
All links you cited quoted the same identical source. No other party or corroborating evidence.
Saleh al-Arouri is the Hamas leader that all these links cite for the dreaded red handed assertion, they are guilty.
In addition the the link I will submit that suggests other Hamas leaders have not supported his claim, there are those even in the Israeli circles that suggest he has other motives to making such a claim. He has a past and background of devising such schemes of kidnapping, so it should seem like a slam dunk if he claims responsibility, right?
Well are you aware that people often attach themselves to ideologies, events, clubs, for ulterior motives? Take for example the many thousand of people that claim to be Navy Seals, because of what it affords them.
Since there is no other Hamas leader making the claim, or supporting this guy, I am not willing to swallow it as easily as you. Then again, I don't have a bias or agenda either. I am on neither side, and am simply looking at the evidence.
In the court of law, his testimony would not be enough.
Show me some support for his claim and I seriously would consider Hamas had something to do with it. I am not arguing with you to just argue. I am trying to force people to do more work before making conclusions.
