The truce is over.
This is such ridiculous reporting on the part of Yahoo News.
JERUSALEM - Palestinian militants called off a tattered two-month-old truce on Thursday after an Israeli helicopter killed a senior Hamas political leader with a volley of missiles. Tens of thousands of Hamas supporters marched in protest through the streets of Gaza, vowing revenge.According to aides, Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas had ordered a major crackdown and drew up lists of militants to be arrested, but scrapped the plans after the assassination.
What about the suicide bombing in Jerusalem which killed over 20 including little children? Was that part of the “truce” that the Palestinians were engaged in???
The fact of the matter is that the Palestinian militant groups had no intention of peace with Israel. They have been using this declared cease-fire (hudna) in order to restock their weapons and prepare for more attacks on the Israeli people. As I have stated before, the head of Islamic Jihad has openly admitted this to be true.
The media, the Bush administration, and many others, paint the picture that the Palestinian government is firmly against the Palestinian terrorist groups and has taken large steps to eliminate the terrorists. This is simply not true. The Palestinian government, under Yasser Arafat, has done next to nothing to stop the terrorist groups. In fact, Arafat himself has his very own terrorist group with the mission of destroying Israel, Fatah.
Now that this ridiculous “cease-fire” is over, maybe the Israeli’s will shake off the outrageous demands of the U.S. to negotiate with terrorists and instead destroy the Palestinian terrorist groups and the government that support them: The Palestinian Authority. The new prime minister, Abu Mazen, The new Prime Minister, Abu Mazen, is a puppet of Arafat, and the U.S. now seems to be supporting Arafat, the leader of the terrorist group Fatah who wants to destroy Israel.
I am too disgusted to comment further. The absolute hypocrisy and moral outrage of advocating that Israel negotiate with terrorists while America should fight against terrorists is too sick to contemplate.
I have commented on this disgusting hypocrisy many times before, but I think that this picture speaks for itself.
Yeah, I agree with you. AOL had a similar article posted earlier today, something to the basic effect of “cease-fire ends after Isrealis kill Hamas leader”. I didn’t read it. I was too nauseous.
