Closed mind? I think not. Historical analysis. I predicted the last cease fire would last 2 months, I think. It lasted 8 or 10 days.

Hamas and Hezbullah (not currently involved) typically uses ceasefires to re-arm and prepare for the next round of attacking Israel. Why would I expect this one to be any different? More importantly, why would Israel? In 18 months Hamas can get really strong...assuming the cease fire lasted that long.

As the saying goes, "Fool me once, your bad; fool me twice, my bad." Israel has let itself be fooled too many times.
