Sometimes you have to ask questions...
Especially the difficult ones.
Notes on video:
- Gaza is surrounded by Israel, the sea, and EGYPT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borders_...)
- Family and food barely scratch the surface of what humans have in common, such as a desire to be free and pain when those they love are killed.
***UPDATE: Since the release of this video, Hamas leadership has stated that though they were unaware of it, their militants DID kidnap the three Israeli teenagers (though this does not explain away the roots of the conflict or Israel's disproportionate use of violence against civilians unrelated to the incident).
