Israel Accepts UN Request for Six-Hour 'Humanitarian Ceasefire'
INN ^ | 7/16/14 | Ari Soffer

Israel has accepted a request by UN envoy Robert Serry to enact a six-hour "humanitarian ceasefire" starting Thursday morning.

Serry submitted the request to both the Israeli government and Hamas on Wednesday evening in order to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip; while Israel accepted immediately, Hamas has yet to respond.

It comes as efforts continue to broker a more long-term truce after Hamas rejected an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire agreement Tuesday morning, and responded by escalating its rocket fire against Israeli civilians. One Israeli man, 38-year-old father of three Dror Hanin, was killed in a mortar attack near the Erez Crossing bordering Gaza as he handed out food packages to Israeli soldiers.

The most inhumane thing is to prolong it.

Keep up the pressure until the Musloids cave or die. It’s the humane thing to do.

Because it's such a sound tactic to quit punching when you've got your opponent on the ropes.

Take the six hours and invade them 60 miles. Then, when they are corralled, bomb the shit out them and say “Whoops! cease fire was over.”

Six hours to do what?Move the wounded to the hospital?The hospitals are already packed with Hamas officials and fighters hiding from the IDF.

LOL, it's Gaza - there isn't 60 miles to go. The Israeli tanks would be out in the ocean. Gaza is only 25 miles long and about 5 or 6 miles wide. It's really a tiny strip of land and it contains around 1.5 million people. When you realize how densely populated it is you understand why Israel is loath to launch a full scale, boots on the ground, invasion.

What a load of crap!

I wonder if Israel’s thinking they aren’t really up to all the heavy lifting they perceive ahead.

"I wonder if Israel’s thinking they aren’t really up to all the heavy lifting they perceive ahead."

But does Israel think these things every few years is the road to peace?

That would seem to depend on their loyalty to God, and Torah, or to their homosexualist, abortion ridden secularism?

Just like here!
