fanger, et al,
Well, based on the information in "open source" media, it would seem that the Israeli authorities know quite a bit about what happened. They evidently have the car (Hyundai i35), they evidently have forensic evidence that the murders were committed in the car, and evidence on the identities of at least two suspects by name.
EXCERPT VOA: Israel Finds Bodies of Kidnapped Teenagers said:"The two principal terrorist suspects in the kidnapping are Marwan Kawasmeh and Amer Abu Eisheh, members of Hamas in Hebron, who are wanted" by Shin Bet and the army, a statement said."

I would like to make two points:
- POINT #1: Incitement, encouragement and toleration:
- Organizing, instigating, facilitating, participating in, financing, encouraging or tolerating terrorist activities intended to be committed against other States or their citizens is a violation of A/RES/60/288.
- Acts, methods, and practices of terrorism are contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations and that knowingly financing, planning and inciting terrorist acts are also contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations; S/RES/1373 (2001).
- POINT #2: Recent Official Statement by HAMAS Senior Officials
- HAMAS has openly encouraged and openly further incites the Kidnapping and Murder of non-combatants, citizens of the Occupation Force, in direct violation of International Law:
- It is a direct violation for protected persons to commit an offense which is solely intended to harm the Occupying Power, or where the protected person is guilty of espionage, of serious acts of sabotage against the military installations of the Occupying Power or of intentional offenses which have caused the death of one or more persons. (Article 68 Geneva Convention IV)
- 1. Calls upon all States to adopt such measures as may be necessary and appropriate and in accordance with their obligations under international law to:
(a) Prohibit by law incitement to commit a terrorist act or acts;
(b) Prevent such conduct;
(c) Deny safe haven to any persons with respect to whom there is credible and relevant information giving serious reasons for considering that they have been guilty of such conduct; [Para 1a, S/RES/1624 (2005)]
- 1. For the purpose of this Statute, "crime against humanity" means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:
(a) Murder;
(i) Enforced disappearance of persons;(Article 7 - Crimes against humanity, Rome Statutes)
There is no question that there are grounds for action. Further, it cannot be the case that the US, or any other nation, could support a Palestinian Unity Government between the PA/FATAH and HAMAS. You cannot be a support HAMAS (terrorist in character) and still provide support under US Law. [18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(1) - Providing material support to terrorists] Article 1(3) of Common Position 2001/931/CFSP sets out the meaning of "terrorist act".
√ "Terrorist acts" mean intentional acts which, given their nature or context, may seriously damage a country or international organisation and which are defined as an offence under national law. These include:There needs to be open warrant for any and all HAMAS members. HAMAS has unequivocally advocated the use of terrorism against non-combatant. A violation of several principles, laws, and concepts for the maintenance of security and peace. They are all criminals. attacks upon a person's life which may cause death;
attacks upon the physical integrity of a person;
kidnapping or hostage taking;

Indeed. They are a violent criminal gang, and they were first elected by 'Palestinians' in Gaza, in what most of the 'international observers' claimed at the time was a 'free and fair' election, so these BS claims of 'collective punishment being unfair' are utter nonsense, and always have been.
