"Only thing is Christmas is that you believe that propaganda to be 100% truth even when you know that it is propaganda."
The only thing is that denying a thing to be propaganda doesn't make it so my little soldier - didn't they teach that in T.A. training?
"a ceasefire that the Israeli Government was quite happy to extend but Hamas was insistent that it did not."
Unless Israel agrees to the immediate removal of the blockade, the removal of the Berlin walls and a discontinuation of the humiliation and suffering it has imposed on Gazans, those who have been slaughtered by srael will have died for nothing.
Let Israel agree to the U.N. taking charge of the heap of rubble it has reduced Gaza to and return to the negotiating table under their supervision and a cease-fire will be more than just the surrender Israel and its hangers-on are looking for - anything less would be back to square one.
