Truce in Gaza

So a truce went into effect.

What does that mean?

Israel will not send in troops to eradicate the rats nest, Israel will hold fire when fired upon unless there is no option ...

Yet the world press paints the Palestinians as having, for the first time in years, a moment to walk without fear of attacks. Going to the beach and just strolling on the streets.

The stories are short on how Israelis feel. For years Israelis have endured daily attacks from Gaza ... and now -

Shin Bet director Yuval Diskin reported more smuggled arms from Sinai were reaching Gaza in the first 72 hours of the Israel-Hamas truce and Palestinian combat training had been stepped up. Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah had suffered a serious setback.

Justice minister Prof. Daniel Friedman called the Israel-Hamas truce deal “a first-class strategic blunder.” In tones of “I told you so,” Israel’s military intelligence (AMAN) director, Brig. Amos Yadlin reported the Gaza truce had fulfilled all Hamas goals: : ending the siege, opening the door to international recognition of the terrorist group and a permit to continuing building up arms.

GAZA (Reuters) - Militants in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip fired several rockets into southern Israel on Tuesday, breaching a five-day-old ceasefire after Israeli troops killed two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

All we are saying, is give peace a chance - why can't you Palestinians give peace a chance instead of automatically responding by blowing things up.

It is not a sign of weakness for restraint, even if it looks and seems that way.
It is not a sign of weakness to not invade and occupy, even if it seems that way.

Do this enough and you will understand this very well.

What absolute miserable wretches.



Dealing with these murderers is silly and foolish.




Stupid fucks.
