Who is “Obama”? Is this “Obama” a person whose phone calls should be answered? Whose side is he on? Should we even care whether or not he is even calling? Is he trying to make peace? Does he care more for the mooslims than the Jews? Does stopping the fighting favor the mooslims?

These are questions that need to be answered.

If Hamas doesn’t agree to a cease fire soon, there will be no Hamas left to agree to a cease fire - oh, that would be good, never mind.

Israel should just break down and offer Hamas’ and other terrorist leaders a limited time only Gazan travel package that guarantees to include an introduction to 72 virgins.

Some of the terrorist leaders will be suspicious, but I’m thinking it couldn’t hoit to give it a try.

It’s likely that Israel has several agents that are members of Hamas.... dangerous duty for certain.

Islamic Jihad sent a text message with the bad news to the media.

And it’s tough to type on those phone keypads when one eye and both hands are all bandage-y.

Thanks Nachum.
