If Hamas had not fought the "Jewish Entity" this Ramadan, it could have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in Islamic charity "Zakat" that billionaire sheiks of the Arab gulf states give away to jihadi movements, ranging from the Taliban to al-Qaida and now, ISIS, in a manner similar to wealthy Europeans in the 1500s buying "Indulgences" to cleanse their sins.

And so, as I predicted, on July 29, a day after Ramadan and the end to the charity season, a new ceasefire proposal based on the original Egyptian draft came from Cairo.

This time it had the blessings of the top leaders of the Palestinian movement and the government of President Mahmoud Abbas.

A Hamas spokesperson has reportedly rejected the call, but that is part of its tough-guy act to smear other Arabs as weaklings.

After some posturing and machismo, the Hamas leadership will agree to a ceasefire.
