No reason why Israel accepting cease fire before success in bottom line negotiation.

Hamas plays the same tricks on them over and over again and they still fall for them. They are like the Charlie Brown character in the comics. If they think that they are being Machivellian, they are not. Nothing will appease the anti-Semites at Amnesty International and elsewhere.

We do not know exactly what was said, but we know Obama threatened Netanyahu with severe sanctions if Israel so much as touches a hair on Hamas' head.

If Hamas has not extracated Gaza from the mess it created, stop the war and cease hostilities permanently ANYTIME after 20th August at a DAY and TIME of Gaza choosing THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of Gazans will take to the Streets to SHOW THE WORLD Gaza is RAGING against Hamas for the death and destruction it has caused No amount of intimidation and threats made ALREADY by Hamas will stop it from going ahead As one Gazan has said..What are Hamas going to do...shoot 50.000-100,000 Gazan protestors in front of the eyes of the world? In Gaza the drumbeats are sounding ENOUGH is ENOUGH There IS a better way 9 Days to go...and counting

Then Israel should bomb the hell out of them and forget this crap!!!!
