“Lets let thousands of rocket rain down on your neighborhood and then let you wax rhapsodic about calling a cease-fire so the enemy could rearm and start it all over.”
Well, since Hamas rejected the cease-fire, Israel has already announced they’re going to rain a shit storm on Hasmas in the next 24 hours, and now no one will have a moral leg to stand on in condemning Israel. Israel knew all along the “cease-fire” was never actually going to happen, so they had nothing to lose by playing along for a few minutes and everything to gain.
This is not how it normally works out. Just because Bibi got lucky this time, it’s not something to crow about. You watch. There will be a cease-fire, and Hamas will rain rockets down on Israel again.
Right now there are huge stores of weapons in Southern Lebanon again. This is all cyclical.
Israel has got to put the hurt to these folks and refuse to let up until the other side takes a pass on doing it all over.
