Roni, what on Earth or cyberspace makes you think "Israel is attempting to disable Hamas and free the hostages? Name one single thing they have done to further those goals. Does bombing hospitals and universities and apartment towers "disable Hamas?" Of massacring starving people lined up for flour? If they wanted the hostages back, why have they refused to negotiate their release with Hamas? The real purpose is getting the Palestinians out of Gaza, into the desert or into graves, like the mass graves Israel has created in Gazan cities.
