There is absolutely nothing in either source to support the claims being made.
Non-plagiarizing BuzzFeed writer Sheera Frenkel was among the first to suggest that it was unlikely that Hamas was behind the deaths of Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel, and Eyal Yifrach. Citing Palestinian sources and experts the field, Frenkel reported that kidnapping three Israeli teens would be a foolish move for Hamas. International experts told her it was likely the work of a local group, acting without concern for the repercussions:
Anonymous sources, Palestinian sources, field experts, international experts.
Even the last sentence undermines your argument.
At no point in either article does it prove Israel made this comment.

So, I read the main post and articles linked and no where is a Jewish politician quoted saying it wasn't Hamas. Simply speculation from a Palestinian reporter.
Aren't we supposed to be denying ignorance here? BIG thumbs down to the OP and those mindlessly gobbling it up.
On Friday, Chief Inspector Micky Rosenfeld, foreign press spokesman for the Israel Police, reportedly told BBC journalist Jon Donnisonhe that the men responsible for the murders were not acting on orders of Hamas leadership

BBC Watch slammed the re-tweet, calling it "malicious fauxtography," and Dennison's reporting, calling it a "decision to promote deliberate misinformation." (BBC Watch also called his apology "nowhere near sufficient." BBC Watch notes that it has the "independent support of CAMERA -- the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America" and that it was founded to focus on "various aspects of BBC reporting on the Middle East.")

Firstly, when you produced your thread you didn't cite this new reference so the title was still a lie. Secondly, just as you quoted, Chief Inspector Micky Rosenfeld told Jon Donnison of the BBC that Hamas didn't order the kidnapping. This reporter appears to have some bias towards Hamas and/or just doesn't fact check very well. He posted a heartbreaking pic of supposedly children in Gaza but they were in fact in Syria.

I think I'll ignore the blogs and bs and wait for an official source of information.
HAMAS didn't kidnap the 3 teenagers, but they are responsible for it. As HAMAS represents the major factor of so called palestinians.
Palestine is not a nation, although Arafat fought well to make it a nation. It's just a bunch of mixture of middle eastern folk, who in reality are Jordanian, Lybians, etc. But living in a territory that the British called "Palestine" as it was a territory that didn't have any governmental control and didn't fit in with the rest.
HAMAS is still an organization, that is set on destroying Israel and is not on a path that leads to a peacful coalition with Israel. It's also an organisation that outright voices words of war, and is in a de-facto war with Israel, as are all the people of the middle-east, except the Arabs themselves (if I recall correctly).
That Isreal doesn't just "kick" them out, is in reality a humanitarian effort on their part. The US is fighting a war on something they call terror, and murdering millions of people, because they "think" somebody wants them dead. The Jews "know" HAMAS wants them dead ... it's not something that is to be put in question, so in reality they should just "kick" them out of their territory.
One by one. But they aren't, so the Palestinians have every opportunity to make peace with Israel. If they can't do that, than Israel is correct in making a wall around it, and showing the Palestinians to the outside of that wall. And that, is my not so humble opinion on the matter.
William Jefferson Clinton | Yitzhak Rabin | Yassir Arafat | Oslo Accords = (264) + (144) + (134) + (124) = 666!

He said he retweeted it. It sounds like he's not really to blame?

So if Hamas wasn't behind the kidnappings and murder, but are still to blame; does that mean the IDF is to blame for the Palestinian boy who was kidnapped and burned alive by Israelis?

Also.. the three Israeli boys were kidnapped by men speaking hebrew with no real discernible accents. Could very well be they were kidnapped by other Israelis. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time Israelis killed other Israelis. Any reason will do too. To blame Palestinians and start a war (successful), because they didn't like the boys, or strangers that just wanted to kill.
