2. we heard this before
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.25.06)
From this we do know with certainty that the IDF militray arm ,even though small does work in crushing the Islamic jihad. Now they re-group to fight another way,anohter day. The pathological terrorist liars are getting hammered and need a little break for funerals and so they lie. I wonder whne Israel will figure out this stratdegy of the terrorists ?
3. # and who are "we" Enjoy Florida beaches

Peggi   (11.26.06)
These people are the owner of the land.If U have right, I do not think U gonna forget it.For me , I have no doubt that Israel reaches the point that terrorist acts a gainst civilians will only bring more harsh reaction and the theory of superpower is in its way to collapse...
5. Duhhh...Whay did Hamas agree?
malcolm   (11.26.06)
Because their arms smuggling operation is far more important.
6. Chabdeiyu V'Tchashdeihu - Caution is in Order
Fasulia Hudra   (11.26.06)
First of all this is the first Hudna I recall that PRC is mentioned as being part of. Usually they continue the Qassams regardless. Israel will have to do its part although we have to see what the real motives of the PALs are. Have they suffered enough incursions and targeted assasinations or do they need to restock their weapons since they have had setbacks in their cross border smuggling efforts? And we must not forgt Shalit. Finally, we must wait and see who breaks the ceasefire. Should it be the PALs, the results should be appropriate. Although I personally think that we should go low tech and just shoot Qassam equivalent rockets at their cities everytime they shoot at us. In the end this would be safer (for us), cheaper, and far more effective militarity and politicaly. It would totally blow away their tear jerking David and Goliath story. It would put us in a postion of "You stop - we stop. You shoot we shoot." It is very hard for UN, anti-Semites etc to counter this argument.
7. Weapons will keep being smuggled in
Jason ,   Haifa   (11.26.06)
The tunnels are still wide open to build up weapons capability. One tunnel just collapsed today. There are hundreds of tunnels in rafah and it is a disgrace they weren't taken down.
8. More appeasement
Francois ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.26.06)
And obviously during the so-called truce, Arab terrorists will resupply and will prepare the next agression. Olmert is a scum.
9. Huge con
Art ,   Sydney   (11.26.06)
This is once again a huge con trick by the Pal terrorists just as the IDF/IAF was starting to strike real blows against them. No doubt the time of this so-called "ceasefire" will be put to good use by the Pals to continue to build up their arsenal of weaponry in readiness for the next round. Once again, Israeli capitulation to trickery and fraud for which we will pay a high price in the near future.

'Marcel' ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
11. Qassam will land and Haniyeh will say
John ,   NZ   (11.26.06)
"Sorry, they are not mine, It's from one of the groups which we have no control..." and soon everything would start again. It's like this, if Israel hits their commander or brigades, then they are losing and call for truce like now; If their civilians are killed, then they are winning and start crying to the whole world and UN. But what choice does Israel have, if they call for truce, and Israel do not stop, the world would condemn Israel.
12. ALWAYS JUST BEFORE ISRAELI BIG PUSH

(11.26.06)
When someone with a brain like Lieberman or Bibi become PM.
15. Olmert sells out again
Preston ,   USA   (11.26.06)
What a traitor and a cowardly "leader." I guess Hamas and its backers need time to contruct the ovens. G-D I hate the cowardly Olmert. No more monetary support to Israel until he's out of office from me!!!!
16. Marcel you know what else we heard a lot before? YOU!
(11.26.06)
And I think we're all getting sick of your preaching of war and death.
17. MASS Preparations for ALL-OUT WAR Against Israel
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.26.06)
Under intense pressure from the U.S. and EU, Israel's alarming response to continual terrorism and preparations for all-out war against Israel is to surrender the Jewish ancestral homeland of Biblical Judea and Samaria for a second Global Islamic Terror State dedicated to world conquest and Jewish annihilation. The Threat to Israeli Civilians from the Gaza Strip Israel Foreign Ministry 21 November 2006 Since Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2005, Palestinian terrorist organizations based there have increased their rocket attacks on Israeli communities in the Western Negev, firing more than 1,000 Kassam rockets at Israeli civilians. In addition, the terrorists have stepped up their arms smuggling operations via tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip, bringing in more than 30 tons of high explosives. Kassam Rockets Between Israel's disengagement from Gaza last August and November 15, 2006, 1,201 Kassam artillery rockets have hit Israeli population centers adjacent to the Gaza Strip. These rockets include improved, long-range weapons which can reach the Israeli port city of Ashkelon, more than 13 km. (8 miles) from the Gaza border. So far seven Israelis, one foreign worker, and two Palestinian civilians have been killed in Palestinian rocket attacks from Gaza, and more than 100 persons have been wounded. Arms Buildup Israel Security Agency Director Yuval Diskin, in a briefing to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on 14 November, noted the following quantities of arms smuggled by terrorist groups into the Gaza Strip since the Disengagement: * 33 tons of military-grade high explosives * 20,000 assault rifles * 3,000 Pistols * 6,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition * 38 long-range Kassam missiles * 12 shoulder-fired, anti-aircraft guided missiles * 95 anti-tank rocket launchers * 410 anti-tank rockets * 20 precision-guided Anti-Tank Missiles In addition, between $50 million-$70m. in cash has been smuggled into Gaza in order to finance the Hamas terrorist operations. Terrorist Attacks and Suicide Bombings The Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza have lately intensified their attempts to carry out large-scale attacks against Israeli population centers. One tactic recently used is to exploit Israel's humanitarianism by infiltrating terrorists pretending to be Palestinians entering Israel to receive medical treatment...

18. IDF Insisted Israel Must NOT AGREE !!!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.26.06)
The IDF stated ending the IDF offensive would cause great damage in the fight against terrorism!
19. ceasefire? them?
Dave ,   n.y.c.   (11.26.06)
the palis? what happened, they ran out of qassams? don't kid yourself, the didn't run out of motivation, they will be back, and sooner than you predict, you will see.
20. what about Gilad Shalit?!?!?!?!?
jerome ,   Colorado, U.S.   (11.26.06)
21. typical american
kpc ,   canada   (11.26.06)
typical american response from marcel everyones a lying terrorist - the sooner isreal does what is best for isreal (peace with the palastinians) the better of isreal and all isrealies will be. But the last thing the U.S wants is a peacful unified middle east.
22. truce
new york,new york   (11.26.06)
now that they want a truce go and crush them as they are liars and will attack as soon as they regroup.
23. Give the ceasefire a chance
Hecgtor Garza ,   Mexico DF Mexico   (11.26.06)
Indeed, let's give the ceasefire a chance despite all apprehensions; let's support talks between Israel and the Palestinian government as much as we support the defence of Israel sovereignty.
24. Time out to arm
chilly bean ,   usa   (11.26.06)
Time to acquire or manufacture thousands of missles; time to build underground tunnels, bunkers and factories. Peace for a year or two. Then massive death and destruction. Relocate Gaza population!!!
25. Israel, never trust the enemy ploy!
Liz ,   USA   (11.26.06)
26. The Palestinian Arab terrorists are trying to re-arm
John ,   USA   (11.26.06)
They need a temporary ceasefire.
27. Typical trick by the enemies who want to kill more Jews
Barry ,   USA   (11.26.06)
28. Stupid Stupid Stupid....Hudna is only
BJL ,   Appleland   (11.26.06)
For Hamas to complete their Hizbullah style strongholds and import their weaponry. This is another mistake that will cost lives and lower the deterence level even more. Only a weak Israel would do this. It invites distruction.
29. Maybe they are ready to change???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.26.06)
Have Palis had enough of their "priosn" way of life? are they stating to see that terror does not pay? Lets hope so. BUT, I remain skeptical as usual. history makes me that way.
30. Olmert is so stupid he can't even save his political skin.
sk ,   USA   (11.26.06)
"Olmert has accepted the ceasefire proposal and said that if the Palestinians abide by the truce, Israel will halt military operations in Gaza." Merlot's only chance to hang on to power is to intensify the Gaza actions. This so-called hudna (never trust anything said in Arabic) does not lessen the enemy's capabilities, and therefore it will not improve Israel's situation. Does Israel need the cease-fire to rearm? Nope. Do the Pals? Yup. Of course, hudnas are immediately violated, so they mean nothing on the Palestinian side.
