Ceasefire broken in 10... 9...

I'm sure the douchebags have already started firing rockets into Israel again. I'm starting to think bulldozers would work better than tanks. Just push them into the ocean.

Fark both sides. They're both acting like animals and have clearly demonstrated that they're not willing to settle this by any rational means. You pathetic sheep that constantly fund either side of this should be ashamed of yourselves.

There was a thread last week about how they would declare a cease fire before Obama's inauguration.

 
Party Boy [TotalFark] 2009-01-17 06:44:09 PM  
Unilateral ceasefire?
Whats that?

Isn't a ceasefire where theres an agreement on both sides for a cessation of violence?

I don't see a merging of the Hamas/Egypt plan here with the Israeli one.

It does seem somewhat oddly trusting:

Hamas fighter: "Alright, lets kill these Zionist swin... wait what? They called ceasefire? Without asking? Can... can they do that? Alright... I guess, uh, I guess we also stop shooting. Or do we smash them when their backs turn? Did we just win or lose? OK ... fives until we figure out what the hell just happened."

I don't think they so much turn their backs as much as pull the finger off the trigger and then give them the "I dare you" look.

Hamas is crazy enough to take that dare.

 
INeedAName 2009-01-17 09:35:23 PM  
Israel knows what it's doing.

Step 1) Declare ceasefire
Step 2) Leave troops in enemy territory so they will be fired up
Step 3) Rationalize counterstrike by pointing out that you continued to be attacked

Party Boy

it's a dare that's all it is. They are gambling politically with peoples lives.

if hamas doesn't shoot in the arab world they will be seen as the loser. If they attack again israel receives a justification for the brutal character of their onslaught. it's a calculated move.

i'm willing to bet money (not much) that hamas doesn't fire for at least 6 months.

but not much money...

André Nouschi, 86, former combattant of the Free French Forces, historian, wrote to the Israeli Ambassador to France:

(translation mine)


Tuesday the 13th, January 2009

Mr Ambassador,

For you it's shabat, it should be a day of peace but it's one of war. For me, and for a few years already, colonisation and the theft of Palestinian land by Israel has been exasperating. I'm therefore writing to you as a French citizen, as a Jew and as someone who worked for the agreement between the Univerity of Nice and that of Haiffa ...

It is not possible anymore to remain silent with respect to the Israeli policy of assassination and imperialist expansionism. You are behaving exactly like Hitler behaved in Europe with Austria and Czechoslovakia.

You are in contempt of UN resolutions like he of those the SDN and you are assassinating women and children; do not invoke terrorism, the Intifada. This is a direct result of ILLEGAL and ILLEGITIMATE colonisation. IT IS THEFT. You are behaving like land thieves and you are turning your back to the rules of jewish morality.

Shame on you! Shame on Israel! You are digging your grave without realizing it. Because you are condamned to live with Palestinians and the Arab states. If you're lacking this political ingenuity, then you are unfit to be in politics and your leaders should retire. A country that assassinates Rabin and glorifies his assassin is a country without moral and without honor.

May the heavens and your God kill Sharon the assassin. You were defeated in Lebanon in 2006. You will be defeated again, I hope, and you will send to their death many young Israelis because you did not have the courage for peace.

How can jews, who have suffered so much, imitate their hitlerian tormentor? As far as I'm concerned, since 1975, colonisation brings back old memories, those of hitlerism. I cannot tell the difference between your leaders and those of Nazi Germany!

Personally, I will fight you with all I can just like I did between 1938 and 1945, until the justice of man destroys hitlerism which is at the heart of your country. Shame on Israel. I hope your God will launch against its leaders the vengeance they deserve. I am ashamed as a jew, as a WW2 veteran, for you. May your God curse you until the end of times! I hope you will be punished.

FTFA: "The occupier must halt his fire immediately and withdraw from our land and lift his blockade and open all crossings and we will not accept any one Zionist soldier on our land, regardless of the price that it costs," Barhoum said.

You're not, uh, helping.

simpsonfan 2009-01-17 09:39:29 PM  
The rockets will be fired into Israel again. Some people do not accept peace with israel, fark them, they messed with a real military, that military messed right back. Not that Hamas cares about their citizens, they are just seen as potential martyrs.

 
WFern 2009-01-17 09:39:29 PM  
Wow... I'm honestly a little flabbergasted here. I had heard rumors that they would try and "resolve" the conflict before Tuesday, but even coupled with the international pressure, I didn't think it would happen.

 
Thray 2009-01-17 09:39:55 PM  
Goals:

[√] Ensure further generations of hatred towards country.

[ ] Enjoy new bout of delightful and productive peace talks.

[ ] Invent a second coming of mustard gas that is actually delicious.

 
xuanzhiyouxuan 2009-01-17 09:40:32 PM  
Ah, the goal of pounding gaza no matter what until a day or two before the inauguration, then unilaterally declare a ceasefire so Hamas' military losses can't be converted to political gains during negotiation. Mission accomplished, I guess.

 
whydoIlovethevikings 2009-01-17 09:41:12 PM  
well earlier in the week there was the claim that they'd gotten at least one hamas kingpin, right? It's interesting that the ceasefire comes so soon after that event, so maybe believe optimistically that when they say ceasefire they mean ceasefire?
/substitute "unrealistically" or "ignorantly" for "optimistically" in the previous sentence if you please.

 
AsprinBurn 2009-01-17 09:41:17 PM  
Okay, someone break this down for me nice and short. Who is this bad news for?

Hopefully a ceasefire is short-lived. Further escalation could lead to the Rapture.

I see where you're going, but really - it can't get much worse than 500+ civilians, including children, who were crushed and incinerated.

Israel can end this little war whenever they want. Hamas lobs what are literally oversized bottle rockets over the border and Israel responds without restraint using one of the world's most advanced fighting forces.

It would be like me, a grown man, beating the hell out of a 4th grader who kept snapping me in the arm with a rubber band and during this merciless thrashing, me saying "I hope I can get this conflict wrapped up soon."

 
punto 2009-01-17 09:45:16 PM  
Not that I've any idea about what's going on over there, but that's pretty badass. "Screw negotiations, we decide when the firing begins and when it ends. Right now we're feeling a ceasefire."

 
Mr.Giblets 2009-01-17 09:45:52 PM  
Wow. I guess those strongly worded letters from the UN "DO" work after all.

Are you trolling, or just retarded?

 
SavvyLemur 2009-01-17 09:47:19 PM  
It's probably difficult for two adversaries to reach an agreement on anything when one side's only ideological goal is to kill every single human being in your country. Whether you believe Israel should exist or not, it should be pretty obvious that reasoning with heavily indoctrinated, religious extremists is out of the question. I mean really, how out of your mind brainwashed must you be to think that lobbing rockets into civilian targets is actually going to force a country of millions into leaving?

 
Henry Morgan 2009-01-17 09:47:34 PM  
Bildo: Just push them into the ocean.

Hmm. You know who else wanted to push them into the ocean?

But seriously. As far as Israel and Palestine go, I say kill them all and let their gods sort it out.

 
kuhns_m 2009-01-17 09:47:35 PM
