I have a relative who does a very specialized job in the IDF and thus has done many tours in Gaza in all phases of the war and in all areas of Gaza.

He describes the tunnel entrances and other evidence of collaboration with Hamas if not direct participation is so widespread it felt to him like אין בית אשר אין שם מת.

Obviously, he's far from the only soldier making such claims, and we have the testimony of hostages about the civilians who imprisoned and tortured them.

Biased as we are, we tend to exaggerate and make our opponent's problems out to be much worse than they are. In this case, I fear we are under estimating the issue

I beg to disagree. The only people underestimating the issue are those who are delusional enough to think that a Two-State "Solution" is in some way a road to peace, or that any appeasement of the IslamoNazis might be a roadway to peace. (Or those that refuse to call a Spade - "a Spade", being P.C. and avoiding the true term: IslamoNazis!).

Time to stop burying people's collective heads in the ground. They are all followers of the IslamoNazi ideology of the Mufti Hajj Amin Al-Husseini. Word is that there was a Washashibi clan that was interested in co-existence, but they were destroyed by Al-Husseini and his followers.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
