Hamas Proposes New Ceasefire
2006-06-15
The militant Islamic group Hamas is calling for a new ceasefire with Israel.
translation: YOU cease fire
"Those Zionists are unfair! They keep shooting back! Make them stop!"
Ghazi Hamad, a spokesman for the governing Palestinian group, said Thursday Hamas is seeking what he calls "quiet" and is ready to rein in militants firing rockets at Israel if Israel ceases its attacks on Gaza first.

The statement came as Palestinian militants ...
Geez. What does it take to be promoted to "terrorist?" Oh yeah. build a wall.
... in the Gaza Strip fired at least five rockets into southern Israel, wounding three Israelis and damaging a factory in the town of Sderot. Islamic Jihad, which did not accept a ceasefire with Israel, claimed responsibility for Thursday's rocket attacks.
therefore Hamas can still be assured of a continuous volley of rockets during the "ceasefire."
Last week, after eight civilians died in an explosion on a Gaza beach, Hamas said it was calling off the one-year-old ceasefire. Palestinian officials blamed the beach explosion on Israeli artillery, but Israel has denied responsibility.
You blow us up, we seek dire revenge. We blow ourselves up, we seek dire revenge.
After Hamas announced it was calling off the ceasefire, an Israeli official said Israel might resume an assassination campaign against Hamas officials, including Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
hence the resumption of the "ceasefire."
In other news, the Palestinian information minister, Youssef Rizka, entered the Gaza Strip from Egypt Thursday with two million dollars in his suitcases.
how come they never used to write about all the millions going out of the paleo territories?
Palestinian officials have been carrying large amounts of cash into the Gaza Strip to alleviate a cash shortage after Western nations suspended aid to the Hamas-led government. Most Palestinian civil servants have not been paid since February. On Wednesday, some of them stormed the Palestinian parliament building in Ramallah, demanding their pay.
Lessee, 20 mil from the other guy, now 2 mil, hmmm, ... carry the 4, square root of -1, ... add 3 zeroes to adjust for inflation ... yup, looks like the Widows Ammunition Fund will be able to carry out its vital mission this month after all!
