    The al-Qassam Brigades said it had not officially received the text of the agreement but said excerpts published in the media showed it was “an initiative of kneeling and submission”.

    “Our battle with the enemy continues and will increase in ferocity and intensity,” it added.

    Egypt’s proposal aimed to end a week of cross-border fighting which has killed at least 180 Palestinians.

    More people were killed in chicago the past 3 weekends than in the entire gaza conflict with thousands of missiles sent into gaza. What exactly is everyone condeming israel for?

    Naturally Hamas want to keep going. Hamas has achieved none of its goals. It hasn’t directly killed a single Jew, nor has it hasn’t caused Israel enough PR damage through their policy of keeping Gazan civilians in the line of fire. At a minimum Hamas wants another Goldstone report.

    China may have no choice but to send in a few thousand troops in to Gaza and destroy all the missle launchers before one of their own “made in China” missles make a direct hit on one of the Chinese owned Tenuva Dairy or Agam Machtishim plants which China just acquired for billions of dollars! No way will China stand by idly and watch their investment turn to rubble especially by missles made by them and sold to Hamas via Syria and Iraq! So they will have to save face before it’s to late! Go china go! And make a JV protection plan and strategy with Israel your business partner and destroy all those missle battery launchers and take back the missles for recycle.

    No one wants rockets or missiles to be fired on Israel.However,agreeing to a ceasefire now,after the chayas have used up a considerable amount of their weapons of mass destruction
    (WMD) gives them time to restock, smuggle in WMD from Iran,Syria,buy from Russia,etc.And at some point in the future we will
    have to go thru another round of this terror.You don’t mobilize 40,000
    soldiers, bring tanks to the border of gaza as a bluff.The enemy laughs at you.What happened to wiping out-as much as possible-these chayas for the good of Israel,the region and the world ??
    Lieberman and Bennet should bring down this wimp government but
    they won’t !! H’ Yerachem Aleinu !

    It has to look like Israel has lost and they have won. Then they’ll take their toys, go home and have a victory party.

    Guess they just got in a new shipment of missiles from Iran and they want to try them out.

    Good. Now send in the troops to wipe them out permanently. We can’t go on playing this cat-&-mouse game of yes peace, no peace. It is NOT PEACE! It is a temporary reprieve while we always keep an eye open to see what’s around the corner. Would the US live like that? Didn’t think so.

    First time that I hear the winner advocating a cease-fire and the pathetic loser wanting to go on.
    Now is therefore the time to decimate them !
