Maybe Israel should encourage Hamas et al to try kidnapping
Not an articleIâve been trying to figure out in my own demented mind why Israel would negotiate such an obviously lopsided deal with Hizbollah. After much thinking I pondered a âgame theoryâ explanation. Obviously, by using âgame theoryâ I donât mean to belittle the horrible consequences of these games. If Israel can get Hamas to play the âkidnappingâ game instead of the âsuicide bombingâ game, it may be good for Israel. This is because the kidnapping game requires more sophisticated planning, more recon, more logistics coordination than the âsuicide bombingâ game which mostly requires cannon fodder, a few maps and the bomb hardware - all of which Hamas, IsJihad, etc. have gotten down cold.
