Liam Bailey prefers to believe Israel masterminded the Alan Johnston kidnapping than believe that the Palestinians are capable of sheer stupidity:
In fact, because this abduction has done the Palestinian cause so much harm, and the video presented far more questions than it answered, I must admit my suspicion of Israeli intelligence involvement in the abduction. I say “involvement”, because Israeli intelligence wouldn’t need to carry out the abduction themselves; there are so many ways they could blackmail Arab-Israelis to carry out the abduction, not to mention hiring poor and ruthless Arabs from anywhere in the world and smuggling them into Gaza. Pretty wild? Let me explain….
What if Israel kidnapped Johnston? Indeed!
