Cease Fire Gaza

In short it won't last 5 minutes.

The Israeli's don't really want to negotiate with "terrorists" who basically can't be trusted, Hamas though having the cr*p kicked out of them are still working on the principal that they're winning when all they've got, as regards the upper hand, is the hostages and they know that once they return ALL the hostages Israel is really going to go after them, and knowing Israel the last 15 months will seem like a picnic in comparison.

Although Israel is guilty of overkill {excuse the pun} it would be bad for Israel, and the middle east, to let Hamas "regroup" which is what they will ultimately do.

Swapping of hostages yesterday Hamas handed over 3 hostages and the Israelis handed over 97!!!!! turns out most of them were women.

At this rate the Israelis should get all their hostages back by Christmas.

The hand over is a shambles, poor women stuck in the middle of huge crowds being jostled. What purpose does that serve.

I still don't get it........ again a handful of Israeli hostages released against almost 200 Palestinians. This may prove my point about hostages being the best bargaining chip Hamas have.

I doubt Israel {after this} will ever let themselves be caught out again.
