Not only is this one of the stupidest things I’ve heard of in years, but it’s practically guaranteed not to work:
An extremist organization called the “Gilad Shalhevet Brigades†claimed it kidnapped two Palestinians, residents of the Jerusalem area. In a statement issued by the groups it was said that the hostages will be released only in exchange for the Israeli soldiers abducted in Gaza and Lebanon.
Jerusalem District Police said they are looking into the group’s claim.
Please. These are the people who dress their children as suicide bombers, who hide explosives in kindergartens, and who mine public beaches in the hopes of getting Israeli soldiers.
How stupid are these people?
My guess is it’s a prank by teenagers.
Sadly, the name is known already. There was a case of them trying to blow up a bomb in a schoolyard in East Jerusalem (I believe), and some of them were caught and do their time. It was a few years ago, and I do not remember the details.
Yes, Jews, and yes, deranged. We have a few of them too, you know. Unfortunately.
