What's this? Hamas offered a ceasefire in December, why did Israel refuse?

Of course there have been Hamas suicide bombers since 2005! What on earth are you talking about? Want the list of victims???

Hamas kept on firing missiles EVEN as they were making that 'ceasefire' offer. Also, aid has ALWAYS gone into Gaza.

Perhaps you should take a quick look at what Hamas TV shows the group's leaders saying about what they want to do to Jews? They've been openly saying this for years:

Hamas: religious duty to kill Jews

Hamas insists Islam must commit genocide on all Jews:

Oh, and here are SOME of the suicide bombings that YOU state 'never happened':

April 17, 2006: Nine people were killed and at least 40 wounded in a suicide bombing near the old central bus station in Tel Aviv. The blast ripped through Falafel Rosh Ha'ir, the same restaurant that was hit by an attack on January 19. The Islamic Jihad and Fatah’s Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades both claimed responsibility for the attack.

no longer possibly. Hamas did no longer "proceed" the truce. They nevertheless shot rockets into Israeli cities. to enhance the embargo might mean that Hamas might only have extra time to usher in weapons to apply against the Israelis. the rather Hamas information avert peace in any form. The Hamas shape: "Israel will exist and could stay to tell the tale until eventually Islam will obliterate it, only because it obliterated others formerly it." "The Islamic Resistance stream believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for destiny Moslem generations until eventually Judgement Day. It, or any area of it, should not be squandered: it, or any area of it, shouldn't settle for up. " "there is not any answer for the Palestinian question different than by way of Jihad. initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and ineffective endeavors."

Why did they refuse?

America searched for one man, not a gang or anything one man, throughout the whole of Iraq - we knew that wasn't the reason but people turned a blind eye until it was too late. The petrol is gone and they got what they wanted. Now they are invading everywhere as if Terror is there.

No, I take it back. It is harsh to blame, America, for the wrongs of Bush! Bush searched for one man...

Israel is a puppet of America and the people behind the government curtain. The people cannot see it nor can a lot of people because it is so sinister. But doesn't it explain, how Israel has the courage to do such a thing?

And how about the Senate approving that Israel is right in what it is doing?

Israel's emissary to Cairo, Amos Gilead of the defense ministry, returned home Friday, Jan. 9, reporting he had found nothing in Egypt's ceasefire proposals worth his government's consideration.

IT's really sad what this israeli person answered... Um why don't you show him about what YOU did to palestinains... Why don't you tell him about the 61 years of occupation and about the over 200,000 killed Palestinians...This is what israel is.. an occupying, terrorist country. It's history and EXISTENCE is based on massacres... I do not belive they are humans.

Because anyone with any sense can see that Israel are NOT defending themselves here.It's laughable when people say they are.

Do you round people up into a building and then bomb it to defend yourself?I think not.

It seems Israel are interested in some ethnic cleansing of their own these days.What a damn shame.

Israeli's are under threat of attack while the Palestinians actually ARE under attack

Hahahahaha!!!

If your neighborhood was the constant target of suicide bombers as Israel is, would you unlock your fence for them?

AS USUAL PAPERBACK,YOU ARE 100% CORRECT,THERE IS NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO REFUSE TO SEE THE TRUTH,
