File under: Hamas

#1 Hamas has set five conditions for the cease-fire:

1. The reciprocal truce would begin on Saturday and be followed by the immediate transfer of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Still not serious. If they were, item #1 would be "Please don't kill us!"

#2 Break them. Once they know they're defeated, they'll agree to a ceasefire with a token facesaving condition. And make sure they hand of Shalit as a 'good faith gesture'

#7 Meshaal says no to Israeli conditions for a cease fire. Let the war continue. I just hope that international pressure doesn't force IDF out before the job is done. Israel needs to do something like what we dis in Iraq. If they can establish security and set up a government that can maintain that security, then there can be some peace with legs. An Israeli bang bang, shoot 'em up, followed by a hasty retreat will just provide a lull until the Gazans rebuild their weapon inventory.

With time to realise how badly they've been f*cked, and how much worse the next time is going to be.

#10 Hey idiot-stick: the WINNER gets to set terms, not the loser. Shut your piehole and go back into your manmade cave, hide behind your woman's skirts, and whimper like the sorry-a$$ed loser you are.

Israel: pound Gaza into dust. No need for a cease-fire after that.
