The point of that link is to show you that bibi has ties with hamas and it's not out of the realm of possibility that he still has some sorts of connection, if not influence then intel.
The plot of "provoke an attack - allow it to happen - retaliate with force - steal land as a result" isn't that hard to imagine, because this shit happens all the time. Even I remember the exact same thing from 2 years ago

Sounds fucking ridiculous. Especially when you consider they FORCED their own citizens out of settlements in Gaza in 05.
