I thought the left in the United States was loony. The left in Israel is worse.
Not only is the Hannibal Directive necessary but it needs to be strengthened. Mark my words, Hamas or some other terrorist outfit will capture an Israeli Soldier or Civilian and they will be decapitated with the video posted on YouTube.
Its just a matter of time. The directive is tough medicine, but it just might prevent a larger war from occurring and national fear. The liberals there just don't understand the reality of the world we live in.

Hamas operatives were waiting in ambush. Two soldiers, Major Benaya Sarel and Staff Sergeant Liel Gidoni, were killed, and a third, Lt. Hadar Goldin, was abducted.Read the entire article but I marvel at some Israelis. They have the wolf at the door and instead of girding themselves for battle...they equivocate.
Other members of their unit, Sayeret Givati, moved under fire to the fallen soldiers but did not at first realize that one of the three bodies was a fallen Hamas man, perhaps in IDF uniform, according to the Haaretz report. When it became clear that Goldin was missing, though, the officers in the field did not have to unfurl a long explanation over the army radio frequency. All they needed to do was utter a single word: Hannibal.
The Hannibal Protocol was drafted in the summer of 1986 – one year after the lopsided Jibril Agreement, in which Israel traded 1,150 security prisoners in exchange for three Israeli soldiers, and several months after the ensuing abduction of the soldiers Yosef Fink and Rafael Alsheikh. The idea was to establish a set procedure, known to all soldiers, to limit the success of any abduction operation.
