"It's a trap!"

No details, reported on Fox
Last I heard was that the Israelis were on the outskirts of Gaza city itself with its 1/2 million population.
Anytime that they are allowed to reload they consider themselves the winners. So if a cease fire is done they will be dancing and shouting and getting their weapons reloaded.
It means that they want the Israelis to stop shooting without Hamas agreeing to anything.
Hamas took advantage of the opportunity to flip GWB the finger one last time, and to pre-test 0bambi. They are taking time out to score his answer sheet.
Give it a few weeks. They’ll be back and they’ll bring friends. :(
Is his the same unconditional cease fire thay have agreed to 6-8 times before only to break within 24 hours?
Kill them all!
“this will only hinder israel....”
Yep its just another tactic. If Israel is smart it will keep on until THEY decide they’ve thoroughly cleared out the terrorist playground.
Why Israel Can’t Make Peace With Hamas
************************EXCERPT**************************
JEFFREY GOLDBERG Published: January 13, 2009
IN the summer of 2006, at a moment when Hezbollah rockets were falling virtually without pause on northern Israel, Nizar Rayyan, husband of four, father of 12, scholar of Islam and unblushing executioner, confessed to me one of his frustrations.
We were meeting in a concrete mosque in the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza. Mr. Rayyan, who was a member of the Hamas ruling elite, and an important recruiter of suicide bombers until Israel killed him two weeks ago (along with several of his wives and children), arrived late to our meeting from parts unknown.
He was watchful for assassins even then, and when I asked him to describe his typical day, he suggested that I might be a spy for Fatah. Not the Mossad, mind you, not the C.I.A., but Fatah.
What a phantasmagorically strange conflict the Arab-Israeli war had become! Here was a Saudi-educated, anti-Shiite (but nevertheless Iranian-backed) Hamas theologian accusing a one-time Israeli Army prison official-turned-reporter of spying for Yasir Arafat’s Fatah, an organization that had once been the foremost innovator of anti-Israeli terrorism but was now, in Mr. Rayyan’s view, indefensibly, unforgivably moderate.
***********************Conclusion EXCERPT********************
The only small chance for peace today is the same chance that existed before the Gaza invasion: The moderate Arab states, Europe, the United States and, mainly, Israel, must help Hamas’s enemy, Fatah, prepare the West Bank for real freedom, and then hope that the people of Gaza, vast numbers of whom are unsympathetic to Hamas, see the West Bank as an alternative to the squalid vision of Hassan Nasrallah and Nizar Rayyan.
It’s better to destroy Hamas now than to let them live to fight another day.

Hamas will not honor a ceasefire agreement, period. The ceasefire would only pertain to the IDF and Hamas will continue to fire at will. Hamas is not a “Nation” and the UN will/can only hold recognized “Nations” to the humanitarian rules and regulations. Hamas will only get a strongly worded letter form the UN.

Hamas needs time to lick their wounds and re-group. And maybe reinforce indoctrination to some Gazan’s who might just be getting a wee bit tired of being in a war zone.
Israel may be getting their intel and targeting down really well too. Hamas may need a change to move locations.
IMO, Israel needs to keep pounding the snot out of them. Because P-E Obamination will probably be publically admonishing them to stop soon enough.
And Israel should tell him just exactly where to get off.
“Need time to reload?”
Probably. They need to find more young kids to strap inside of schools and other places they are firing from.
They need those civilian casualties to win the PR war.
Unconditional? They are on the ropes. Hit em now and hard. Finish them.
Terrific: Hamas launches HamasTube
Also ....video clip of Weaponry found inside a Mosque...by the IDF.
The minute they stop, nuke ‘em.
As a sovereign nation, Israel always has a choice.
I sincerely hope they choose to tell the whiners to screw off and then continue to pound the tar outta the muzzies.
