Ceasefire Halts Palestinian Terrorists’ Rocket Barrage . . . for Now

Israeli government divided.

A shaky ceasefire has put at least a temporary halt to the most serious violence in and around the Gaza Strip since the 2014 Gaza war. However, while the ceasefire managed for now to prevent the violence from spinning out of control into a much wider and destructive war between the Palestinian terrorists and Israel, it has left Hamas’s weaponry and military infrastructure intact for their use against Israeli civilians on another day. The terms of the ceasefire thus divided the Israeli government. Defense Minister Liberman resigned in protest, denouncing the ceasefire agreement as "surrendering to terror." He said that his party would pull out of the ruling coalition, potentially precipitating early elections. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his government’s decision to enter into the ceasefire. He said that "in times of emergency, when making decisions crucial to security, the public can't always be privy to the considerations that must be hidden from the enemy." 

 

Before the ceasefire took effect on Tuesday, Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists had launched approximately 460 rockets and mortar rounds towards southern Israel, about a quarter of which were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome defense system. Enough of the rocket barrage aimed at civilian population centers in Israel got through, however, to cause multiple casualties and property damage, while sending terrified children to hide in bomb shelters. A Palestinian worker from Hebron was killed after a direct hit on a building in the Israeli city of Ashkelon.  At least two women were critically injured............To Read More.......

My Take - What amazes me is this.  If any other country in the world was attacked in this manner it would clearly be considered a declaration of war, and any response to destroy those attackers would be acceptable......unless these attacks were perpetrated by Muslim terrorists against Israel.  It's hard to disagree with the defense minister over this "cease fire" since it's obvious they beg for cease fires in order to regroup, rearm and attack again. 

There can be no two state system with any kind of Muslim partnership.  Islam is all about destroying anyone who isn't a Muslim and when they run out of non-Muslim groups to attack, kill and conquer, they will attack each other because Islam requires death for heretics, and each Muslim group within Islam considers all other Muslim groups to be heretics. 

But we really need to get this. Islam isn't a religion.  Islam is a violent criminal political movement masquerading as a religion, and we have 1400 years of Islamic history to show that to be true.  Why is that so hard to get?

There was one thing in the article that confused me and that was why Bolivia is so anti-Israel?  You might find this interesting.
