Frederick Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Expect this ceasefire to last until next Tuesday after that ..I expect it will be over .....This ceasefire has been called as they dont want to rain on Obama's parade Can't have the worlds press turned away from the swearing in ..no other reason ....its Americas big day can't spoil that can they .The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade are the guys who fire the rockets and dont take any notice of Hamas so it will be business as usual for them ....They might fire a few and will be hit again after Obama is out of the spotlight ....

mint Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Oh, Frederick, I hadn't thought of it from that angle! I do hope with all my hear that, in this instance, you are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krusty Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well the Israeli president has made it official."Israel will halt its offensive in Gaza at 0000 GMT on Sunday but troops will remain in the enclave for the time being and will respond to Hamas fire, Olmert said on Saturday."

Boiling a frog Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I see that the peaceloving Government of Gaza(Hamas) are not responding in kind to the unilateral declaration of a cease fire by the Isralies.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7835794.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Its a bit hard to respond in kind when a tank is parked outside your door....What do expect them to say...".Switch the engine off... come in and I will put the kettle on ?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMB Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 And what does nice blameless hamas do, they start to fire a few more missiles today. I hope that the IDF retaliate in a apropriate way ie bomb the crap out of them and all their sideline supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
