I'd call it opinions though. Being touchy feely is a great way to just avoid tough topics.

A better question is why Palestinians fire rockets. Hint...blockade.

Good point.

Anyone actually know what the cease fire document looked like? Is it even written in english?

Correct. Gaza is under a blockade as a result of suicide bombings carried out in previous years, and constant rocket attacks (as primitive as they may be) aimed at the Israeli population.
This past Thursday over 80 rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israeli, indiscriminately, and this happened on a daily basis. Just b/c a lot of Israelis didnt die doesnt mean that there weren't any injured, or any people who started panicking.

Israel uses its shelters to protect its citizens, and has first rate hospitals. Hamas uses its shelters and tunnels to smuggle weapons, and deliberately hides some of them in school zones.

Hamas is getting what it deserves.

This is going back to far. The point of a cease fire is to bury old grievances and work toward re-establishing peace, trade, and mutual prosperity.

Why did Hamas decide that the cease fire wasn't working? Was Isreal not keeping it's side of the bargin or did the organization (hamas) fracture?

Like I said in my previous post, I don't support either side in this shitshow, but if Israel wanted to maintain any kind of moral high-ground, they've blown it.

This is normaly why I don't like to comment on the issue of Israel et al.

For some reason this offensive got me trying to figure it out agian, probably a stupid thing. I've got to remember that untangling the Israel / Palistine debate is not something you can do as a 'hobby' (despite every US president treating it that way...)

...

well back to work and keeping my mouth (fingers?) shut in stupified disbeleif that such a small population of two cultures can be so intensly entangled in a conflict.
