After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point.
Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was fully known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline: “Emperor Hirohito Calls For Ceasefire After Bombing Of Pearl Harbor.”
Just hours after the Hamas jihad massacres began, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted an astonishingly tone-deaf statement: “We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.” The Office deleted this tweet after people started to point out how monstrous it was to urge that Israel not retaliate after being hit with the most devastating attack in its history.
Despite this embarrassment, Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted Sunday that he had met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan; he added, “I encouraged Türkiye’s advocacy for a cease-fire.” (Türkiye is the new official name of the country formerly known as Turkey; its proud government got tired of all the Thanksgiving bird jokes.)
Blinken later took that one down as well, but other leftists continued to call for a ceasefire at a time when that could only have meant that Hamas would hit Israel and Israel would do nothing in response.

> Very few people, even Senators, are going to be fooled by calls for a truce. <
I hope you’re right. But give it time. The nightly news will broadcast pictures of the destruction in Gaza (while ignoring the pictures of dead children in Israel). The pope will open is big, stupid mouth. As soon as the destruction seems “proportional”, even Biden and the EU will call for a truce.
Then Hamas gets to regroup, and plan their next massacre.
Again, I sure hope you’re right and I’m wrong.
Of course they do, a media ploy.
Is it me or does anyone else think it’s odd that the attacker is asking for a truce?
Why are they asking? Because they know the hell that should be coming down on them real soon.

Note (xxv). Perhaps water one day a week and some matzo crackers. The Palestinians can fill up their cups, pots, glasses, jars and bathtubs with water one day each week. They’ll survive, but learn that killing Israelis carries a stiff price.
pro hamas protests in NYC demonstrate coordination.
Avoid crowded places.
> This is like the Nazis asking for a Truce in April 1945. <
They actually asked for one on May 1, 1945. Hitler was dead, and Goebbels was running things in what was left of Berlin. Goebbels requested a cease-fire. The Soviets of course refused, and crushed the remaining Nazi forces in the city.
At the bottom of all this evil is Islam. If anybody needs to be deprogrammed , Hillary , it is Mozlems.
Know Islam, No Peace!
No Islam, Know Peace!
A good piece of Gaza is now rubble. Complete the job.
The largest object left should be no bigger than an American football.
I suggest that a buffer zone be created at the perimeter of Gaza so that similar future surprise attacks are not likely.
Perhaps 10 feet for each Israeli killed and 10 feet for each Israeli raped.
The buffer would be about 900*10 feet and would not have structures or other visually obstructing objects on it.
Palestinians could grow Israeli-designated vegetable crops up to a few feet high on it - tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc.
Pregnant mothers dead with their unborn babies lying next to them with their umbilical cord still attached.
Running low on ammo.
They usually do this, get a truce, restock, and in a few days, attack again.

Hamas killed babies and even beheaded some
https://rumble.com/v3ob5rz-hamas-killed-babies-and-even-beheaded-some.html
From what I saw on twitter,the top guys are living the life of luxury in Doha, Qatar
Bring Hamas in for talks and go all Corleone on ‘em.
Yes it was. Nice touch, that.
Sounds like a job for the Mossad, to make up for their intelligence failure in the first place ...
