No Cease Fire In Gaza

I watched ABC News last night. They had a long report on the
the, “Cease Fire,” in Gaza. It seems that Hamas and the Egyptians
think that it is a good idea and they are working very hard to get it
done.

Israel meanwhile, has slipped the dogs of war and their tanks
continue to grind forward. Israel does not want to cease firing on
Hamas. They want to kill them. After they are done killing them they
want to make sure that no one else is going to be in a position to
fire rockets at their babies. George S. Patton would have approved.
So do I. I very much hope that the Israeli’s keep shooting until they
run out of targets. They are in a target rich environment now and
know that talking to someone who has promised to kill you is not
productive.

“Egyptian and Hamas officials held intensive talks in Cairo. Late
Wednesday, Salah al-Bardawil, a Gaza-based Hamas official, stopped
short of saying Hamas had accepted the Egyptian proposal. He told
reporters that “we submitted our points of view” on the proposed
deal, adding, “We hope that this Egyptian effort will succeed.”

Ghazi Hamad, another Gaza-based Hamas official, told the BBC, “I
am optimistic now because I think there is no other choice for us.
… This kind of agreement can be done now, and I think now there is
good progress in Egypt. We hope that now Egypt will contact Israel
and talk about all issues.”
