it's a little late, no?

they've already created a new generation of hate

and it oddly coincides with Obama's administration

he'll actually (hopefully) be paying attention

Honestly, the damage has been done. They've help ensure the future of at least one more generation of terrorists there and abroad, and probably opened the eyes of people who were previously sympathetic to Israel.

Just another way for Israel to play the victim. "Oh, we agreed to a cease-fire, it's the Palestinians who won't stop!" Because nobody stops and thinks WHY THE PALESTINIANS ARE SO FUCKING ANGRY IN THE FIRST PLACE. If somebody restricted my movements and limited my access to food and fresh water, and then bombed my school and probably my house as well, I'd be pissed too. Israel needs to GTFO once and for all, and a cease-fire isn't going to do anything to accomplish that.

It's not a cease-fire. It's basically a one sided cease-fire (Israel stops the shelling) which means it's not really a ceasefire.

Interesting. Israel starts the shit on Nov. 4th (U.S. Election Day) and they end the shit right before Inauguration Day. But this wasn't planned or anything.
