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.

Land for peace was a fraud. Nothing will change.
“Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.”
“Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed.”
Cato the Elder said this in the Roman Senate debates prior to the Third Punic War, which culminated in the levelling of Carthage to make it uninhabitable - I like to believe that the later legend that the Romans also salted the earth to make it non-arable is true.
Israel should learn from the Romans.
A rapist appears in court and says he won’t rape any more.
I agree
No truce unless Israel needs preparation time
Then they can break with any excuse they want to use
There is only one solution for them, and Emperor Palpatine said it best:
“Wipe them out. All of them!”
Flush the remains (if any).
Just part of their cold calculation. Massacre a thousand people and then beg in the western media for a truce.
The head of the UN has told Israel to play nice...and turning off elec, water etc etc is just plain wrong.
Netanyahu to Hamas: I fart in your direction
Hunt down and eliminate EVERY SINGLE “LEADER”
And the next one that takes his place, and the next one...
Until no one wants the the job anymore.
Forty dead babies found in a kibbutz. Several of them decapitated.
The whole country (Israel) should take up pig farming, processing them in the Gaza strip.
Today there's the option of applying high-level nuclear waste to make land completely uninhabitable. Of course, any Palestinians who choose to remain should be allowed to.
The author is correct. No truce. But Hamas is playing its cards wisely here.
The call for a truce will give the Islamist propagandists a bit more to work with.
And make to mistake about it. The call for a truce will win over many liberal mush-heads (the pope, the UN, many Democrat senators, etc.). This will put more unfair and unnecessary pressure on Israel.
Anyway, no truce regardless.
Hell, when Israel really starts to pound Gaza the Hamas soldiers ... I mean terrorists will just drop their weapons and hide among the women and children and claim they are just law abiding citizens.
Truce? Truce? Today is October 10th. What is needed is Charles Martel.
Jews don’t eat port either
Israel should just go nuts on those people.
“Death to Palestinians!” to co-opt what Muslims say about America and Americans.
if you get punched in the mouth beat the man bloody that’s how wars are won anything less is simply kicking the can down the road
