"Do I REALLY have to say it?"

The political leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas has said it will not renew its informal ceasefire with Israel that expires at the end of year.
Khaled Meshaal told a rally in the Syrian capital Damascus his group was preparing for a new round of conflict.
The truce begun in February was based on Israel ending its attacks on Palestinians and releasing prisoners.
Hamas had already said it would pull out of the truce when Israel killed a military leader in November.
Addressing the crowd at the Yarmouk refugee camp near Damascus, Mr Meshaal said there was no room for a truce.
"I say to our brothers in the [Palestinian] Authority that we are witnessing political stagnation," he said.
"I say it loudly, we will not enter a new truce and our people are preparing for a new round of conflict."
Mr Meshaal was named the organisation's most senior figure after the assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in March 2004.
Correspondents say Hamas' politburo, which Mr Meshaal heads, is more hardline and ideological than the group's leadership in Gaza.
And Israel gave back Gaza, why?
Y'know, the Uzi and the Desert Eagle are/were both manufactured by Israeli Military Industries.
Then prepare to die, I hope.
Exactly.
Anytime they pretend to want peace, they're just regrouping.
a truce?
I can dream, can't I?
Right on... what truce? Oh, I have a hang nail... truce is over.
Appeasement only shows weakness.
There was a truce?
"Hamas has said it will not renew its informal ceasefire with Israel that expires at the end of year."...Translation: More innocent Jewish women and children will die.
These agreements shount be called a truce, They should be called a farce, Hamas has never stopped attacking Israel.
What Israel needs to do is drop the farce , take back Gaza.
Then they need to do what is needed to protect themselves from a people with every intention of genocide against them.
For a delusional mindset of peace brought on by foreign dignitaries.
The pacifist left-wing in Israel is cut from the same cloth as the socialists in Europe...they haven't learned the history of Munich and Chamberlain.
Gosh, can you show reason for such a statement via historical studies? /sarc
So they can take it back and hopefully, clean it out of scum and then keep it this time.
"Do I REALLY have to say it?"
"And Israel gave back Gaza, why?"
Well it somewhat makes sense...now there are no Jews there so it would be much easier to bomb.
In other words their modern day political mindset is based upon historical illiteracy.
Swell....
