(7,318 posts)In fact they have tremendously stepped up their rocket attacks against Israel-more than 50 Hamas rockets were fired into Israel today. They probably want to continue aiming at innocent civillians on foreign airliners attempting to land at Israli airports.
The whole thing is sick and getting more vomitous by the hour.

(45,850 posts)Israel announced on Friday a unilateral 12-hour ceasefire to take place beginning Saturday morning, as the day's death toll in the Israeli assault on Gaza topped 65 amid an intense sunset barrage that killed at least 14.
"Israel has agreed to a 12-hour ceasefire from 7:00 a.m. Saturday," said the US official traveling with Secretary of State John Kerry, who was leaving Cairo without securing a longer ceasefire deal between Israel and Palestinian movement Hamas.
The announcement came immediately after the Israeli cabinet rejected another proposal by Kerry which would have involved a ceasefire followed by negotiations.
