| Israel snubs Hamas ceasefire proposal |
| 2008-05-04 |
| By Hassan Hanizadeh Israeli Defense Minister Ehud BarakÂ’s insistence on continuing the confrontation with Hamas and his rejection of the recent ceasefire proposal prove that the Zionist regime is still following a warmongering policy and wants to continue massacring the innocent people of Gaza. Through Egyptian mediation, 11 Palestinian factions recently arrived at an agreement to establish a ceasefire with Israel, but it seems the Zionist regime is opposed to any plan that could bring about the establishment of peace in occupied Palestine. Zionist officials apparently believe that the proposal is a sign of the weakness of the jihadi movements, and especially Hamas, and that the Israeli army should take advantage of the groupÂ’s compromised situation and destroy Hamas. Israel has imposed an economic siege on Gaza for over ten months and is implementing its expansionist plans in the region through the recent brutal attacks on the city. The Zionist regime is attempting to give the impression that it seeks peace by sending peace proposals to Syria, while at the same time it is trying to alter the demography of Palestine through the bombardments of Gaza. It seems that Israel plans to escalate its air strikes in order to force the residents of the Gaza Strip to migrate to the West Bank and Rafah, Egypt so that the Palestinian Authority government can gain control of all the territories occupied in 1967. In their new plan, the Zionists intend to expel the Palestinians who live in the territories occupied in 1948 as part of the project to Judaize Palestine. The current global political climate, the silence of international organizations, and the presidential election campaign in the United States have made Israel even more determined to implement such plans. The Democratic and Republican presidential candidatesÂ’ competition for the support of the Zionist lobby gives Zionist regime officials the opportunity to demand more ransom for their backing. Israeli officials are currently pursuing a carrot-and-stick policy in the region. On the one hand, they claim to be prepared to negotiate with Syria, but on the other hand, they refuse to accept the Palestinian groupsÂ’ ceasefire proposal. Surely, if the Zionist regime continues committing war crimes in Palestine, the jihadi movements will adopt the measures necessary to save the lives of the Gazans, and this will cause an escalation of the violence in the occupied territories. |

| #3 It seems the zionist regime has finally understood the meaning of "hudna". Let's put it this way boys: if YOU were the stronger side, and YOU were winning, and the other side was weaker and was losing, what would YOU do if the other side called for a cease fire? Why, you'd say it was a trick to get a rest, re-arm, and come back stronger. Now, try to get a clue: THEY KNOW YOU'D SAY THAT, SO THEY'RE TREATING YOU THE WAY YOU WOULD TREAT THEM IF YOU WERE WINNING AND THEY WERE LOSING. Up until now, they were acting like Jooos. NOW they're STARTING to act like MUSLIMS. What's next? Look into YOUR OWN BLACK HEARTS AND SOULS. And be afraid. VERY afraid. |

| #2 Well, Barb, it could mean that Israel must stop shooting, and Hamas will stop shooting. Of course, Islamic Jihad can continue to shoot. Or Fatah, or any one of the dozen other groups that appear whenever Israel needs to be shot at. |

| #1 "Hamas ceasefire proposal" That's PA-speak for Israel should cease fire and Hamas will keep shooting. |
