"Pillar of Defense (Cloud)" - Israel & Hamas Agree to Gaza Cease Fire

Defense Minister Ehud Barak said, "The fire directed at the greater Tel Aviv area, as well as the scale of the fire directed at Israel in general today is an escalation that will have a heavy price for the other side to pay".


Barak reiterated his confidence that the operation will achieve its goals "even if it will take some time."

Whoa there, I've never ever been wrong about anything in my life, brah.

No for real, I had no idea whether you were Pro-Disengagement or not -- it was a shot in the dark -- you just strike as someone with a GOOD heart who had good intentions --- and knowing how Israeli Leftists that run the country's media, justice department, courts, police, etc..... well, they can sing that Sweet Siren Song of Peace like nobody's business, so I imagined that you too were not immune to its charms.

My point though: do you think you will see Livni, Olmert, Mofaz, Hatchet-face and Lapid ever express one SCINTILLA OF REMORSE about the (possibly irreversible) damage done to Israeli interests -- of whic Gaza is only one big example?

Hey, Ehud Barak and Bill Clinton are the reason Hezbollah has 100,000 rockets in South Lebanon by now. In some ways, that's way worse than what the Gaza Masters-of-Disaster crew did.

What bothers me, is that NOONE pays the price, the whole actions-consequences dynamic breaks apart --- and then, hell on wheels arises.

It's disturbing how Left's popularity is rising once again --- it's as if Israelis turned into a collective Ostrich and just prefer to live in a matrix of their delusions if only for a few months/years longer. When Bibi or Lieberman tells them the truth, the unplessant truth, instead of hating Iran or Muslim Brotherhood, they turn on the messenger.

Something like that.

ifd ground forces are not what they used to be. if hamas is able to fire hundreds of rockets a day, that means they have thousands of anti tank missiles. they watched the 2006 hezbollah war carefully in which hezbollah raped idf ground forces. prepare for a lot of dead idf bodies and maybe some abductions too.

good heart, good intentions and, i thought at the time, arik must know what he's doing.
no, nobody pays. but that seems to be the general way in the west these days.
is is surprising that israelis are ostrich-like? not to me. people are like that.
