The surprise truce was supposed to take effect at 6 a.m., but in the four hours that followed, 11 rockets were fired from Gaza at Israeli towns and villages and some Palestinian militants threatened to keep up the attacks.Got that? Israel abided by the cease-fire, even though the Palestinians continued their attacks. What was that headline in the MSM again? Oh, yeah, "Gaza Cease-Fire Raises Hopes for Peace."
Israel did not retaliate, saying it wanted to give the truce a chance.
"Even though there are still violations of the cease-fire by the Palestinian side, I have instructed our defense officials not to respond, to show restraint, and to give this cease-fire a chance to take full effect," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said during a ceremony at a high school in southern Israel.
Yep. Lots of hope there. And if Israel retaliates against the Palestinians who continue to violate the cease-fire, what do you think that AP's headline will be then?
Wipe-out Gaza. It will make the world a better place.
