Cease Fire

JackLewis blogged What Palestinians consider a “Cease Fire” (...Israel stops shooting while the Palestinians continue.)

CQ blogged While Mahmoud Abbas talks about Israeli provocations and his Gaza security chief refuses to disarm the terrorists, the Palestinians themselves have taken their cues and acted accordingly. This morning, Palestinians shot an anti-tank missile at a school bus full of children in a Gaza settlement.... This isn't fighting for freedom; it's hatred and terrorism. These are the people who will control the state at the political center of the Middle East. It's a sobering thought for those who want to rush headlong into granting sovereignty to the Palestinians.

Hyscience blogged Abbas can/will do nothing to stop this. What next?

Solomon blogged If this is a "shaky" lull, how much worse can it get?

insignificant thoughts blogged Those darned schoolbuses. Always a danger to Palestinians. Imagine if the rest of the world functioned like the fictional nation of “Palestine.” In their little world, you can’t live in their country unless you’re them.

See, unlike Israel, where Arabs live, hold jobs, and can be elected to office, any Israelis living in the fictional nation of “Palestine” must be eliminated. Killed. Cleansed. Purged. Just imagine if your country lived like that. Imagine, if you lived in LA, and you were so upset at the illegal Mexicans living in your town, you just went into the neighborhood and started killing them. And the Governor of California and the Mayor of LA just condoned it. And the rest of the country, including the President urged the Mexicans to just leave the area because they didn’t belong there. That’s what’s happening in the fictional nation of “Palestine,” while the rest of the world condemns these horrible settlements.

If Abbas can't stop this (and I doubt he can) there is no reason to proceed with the Road Map
