Morsi, the new Sharia pharaoh of Egypt, handpicked by Obama’s Arab Spring, was paid off, in billions.

It would have been interesting to have seen a break out of those numbers by geography to see if Israelis along the south coast approve.

This cease fire simply allows Hamas to recover from Israel’s counter attacks. When Hamas retools and rearms, they will start firing rockets again.

This has been going on in all European countries where they have willingly let in the savage satan worshippers. It’s an epidemic in the Scandinavian countries too.

Unless there’s some kind of behind the scenes agreement involving Egypt, the US, and maybe someone else, whereby someone promised to ensure that the rockets and missiles and other weapons smuggling into Gaza will stop – and I doubt such agreement exists, and if it does then that it’s worth anything – the ceasefire was a mistake.
What the Israelis did was clean out Hamas’s rocket warehouses, and killed a few operatives and commanders. They’ll replenish their warehouses very very soon, and remember that at the end of the fighting Hamas was still firing about 100 rockets a day, i.e. doesn’t look like their capability was degraded.
4 years ago there were 1,400 dead Gazans, this time it is about 150. You think Hamas is deterred? I guess we’ll see on January 22.
