Lets do it!

This looks like some good news at the first glance. So I simply quote that indeed the first three months of fundamental silence could be at the scene. If the silence is good the exponential grow could start, 3 to 6 to 12 to and so on. That is all I have to say, that is all I have to say. Quotes found on The Globe and Mail, re-quoting from AP:  

 

Deal will stop Palestinian attacks for three months

Associated Press 

Jerusalem — Three key Palestinian groups, including the Islamic militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, agreed Wednesday to halt attacks on Israel for three months, a senior official of Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction said..


The official, Kadoura Fares, speaking on behalf of Fatah, said a formal statement about the cease-fire would be made later Wednesday. Fatah also signed the agreement.

According to another Palestinian official, the document outlining the truce terms was signed in Damascus, Syria, by top Hamas leader Khaled Mashal and Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah. It came after lengthy negotiations between the militant groups and Marwan Barghouti, a leading Palestinian figure in Fatah who is jailed in Israel.The military wings of all three groups have carried out bombing and shooting attacks against Israelis over the last 33 months in the latest Palestinian uprising against more than three decades of Israeli rule.In the document, all three groups agree to a moratorium on attacks for three months. In exchange, they demand Israel end targeted killings of militants and military incursions into Palestinian areas, the source said. They also call for a release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel — but do not set any deadline or timeframe for this, the source said.The source said that an official announcement on a ceasefire would probably be made in coming days, possibly from Cairo.

What to say? One could say it is some good 'brick' to start with. Am I jumping for joy? No I am not, the most important transformations still have to come from the Israeli site. But I simply stop commenting stuff right now, my children need me so they get my attention right now.

 ____________________________________________________

So now it is an hour further down the timeline, more was read in the latest 10 minutes and as usual a lot of confusion is going on. Other sources say there is not truce at all, this confusion is rather logical when you think a bit around the cutting into pieces of the Palestine landscape (and all those settlements and those 'dual road map' not for use to Palestines and so on and so on). Lets quote a bit more (found on ABC news, reporter John Yang):

In the Gaza Strip today, four Palestinians, including a woman, were killed in missile strikes on two cars, according to Reuters.

Although officials from the Palestinian Authority have made attempts to arrive at a cease-fire agreement with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, Palestinian officials say continuing Israeli attacks on Hamas targets have not helped the situation.

For its part, The Associated Press reported that Israel had dismissed reports of a truce as an internal Palestinian deal of no consequence. A senior Israeli official told The AP that the Palestinians would be judged on their actions, including whether they can halt bombings and shootings.

What to say at the end of the day? Cry babies asking for a stop of shootings while they themselves fire missiles at cars? Or am I now very unreasonable again? I stop commenting, why comment on this fuzz? Simply ask the 'new branch' to keep on working for the coming years, the deterrent is very much  needed in the months&years to come. That's a fact of life& that's a fact of death.

Bye.
