Any “cease-fire” negotiated with the Muslim Brotherhood, the force behind this assault on Israel, is just because they had to have time to reload their launch vehicles....

Logistics is such a beyatch in these third world countries.

This silly cease-fire will tell me if Israel has learned her lessons.

[GeronL]

Haven
‘t they learned anything?

Hamas needs to resupply.

Actually, I think the cease fire gives Israel some time to get more Iron Dome batteries built and deployed, as well as more interceptors. They’ve been kind of taking their time, but now they know the systems work and they’ve had a chance to see what the terrorists have to offer. They can use this downtime to tweak their programing and speed up production.

A cease fire short of destroying all of Hamas’ military capabilities would be a victory for the terrorists. The “international community” will cheer and make speeches. The Israelis will abide by the cease fire and the Palestinians will rearm to kill again.

Hamas started this thing. How is Israel going to negotiate with terrorists? Never an option. I'd suspect this is being leaked to try and push Netanyahu into a corner. As if he is the unreasonable one if he doesn't go for a cease fire.

Regardless, the Lord willing, Israel will soon cut the head off the snake and then where will Hamas get their rockets from?

[Logical me]

I used to think Israel had more brains than that to allow Gaza to replenish. Their border with Egypt is the supply line. It is obvious that the government of Israel is not too bright.

[grey_whiskers]

Not to talk out of turn or anything, but what if Israel is negotiating the cease fire in order that they can (within minutes of the signing, while the Islamicists are all cheering) kick the living sh*t out of Iran?

Cheers!

It is just wonderful how peaceful our Nobel Peace Prize winning President has made the middle east.

Israel and Syria exchange fire in Golan

BTW - They do not know if they were Syrian regulars or Obama Terrorist Insurgents that fired upon Israel. As far as the Israeli's should be concerned, is there really much of a difference ?

[bgill]

Psst, Israel, don’t trust them.

[Silentgypsy]

Um, Egypt wants a cease fire? Weren’t rockets fired from Egypt?
