Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The pro-Hamas rioters keep shrieking, “ceasefire”. There was a ceasefire in place before Oct 7.
Israel had been negotiating with Hamas through Qatar and had agreements in place. There had been on-and-off agreements over the two years during which Hamas stayed relatively quiet while planning its big attacks.
Now that Israel wrongly agreed to a truce in exchange for the release of some of the hostages, it’s proving to be a one-sided truce.
There were two IED attacks on Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Hamas terrorists also opened fire on Israeli soldiers.
That’s what a “truce” with Islamic terrorists looks like.
Oct 7 showed what a “ceasefire” with Islamic terrorists looks like.
Islam commands Islamic Jihadis to subjugate and kill non-Muslims by any means necessary. Any agreements they make are purely expedient and operational. The moment they have the opportunity to achieve their true goals, they kill.
Remember what Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bomber, told the court when asked about taking an oath to protect and defend America against all enemies foreign and domestic?
“I swore but I didn’t mean it,” he said.
That’s what taking the word of any Islamic terrorist means. It’s only there to fool us. They will swear on a stack of korans if they need to, but they don’t mean a word of it. They just mean what the Koran commands, which is to kill non-Muslims.
Spirit of San Jacinto says
Taqiya – Islam justifies and honors the means to the end. Hopefully there will be enough of us left when all eyes are open to this to defeat the coming hoard.
It’s funny that for 1700 years the enemy has told us “We will kill you,” yet there are those who still say “Nah, they don’t really mean it.”
Jeff Bargholz says
Fourteen hundred years.
Fred says
For years — certainly all my 80 years, and very probably back to at least the time of our war against Muslims in Tripoli before we were an independent nation — the constant message has been that Islam’s agreements with non-Muslims are not to be believed. How long will it take us to understand and believe that?
Jeff Bargholz says
Very true about scummy Moslem liars but America was a nation when Jefferson sent the Navy and Marines to the Mediterranean and the Barbary Coast.

“Hamas Continues Attacks on Israel During ‘Truce”
Muslims have two apps for that:
HUDNA— a tactical pause intended only for rearmament, and a temporary respite in the war between Islamic forces and non-Islamic forces.
TAHADIA — a temporary halt in hostile activity which can be violated at any time.

Netanyahu may have gotten his warm moments in front of the camera and I’m sure it’s doing wonderful things for his ratings amongst the female demographic. Maybe I’m just old fashioned and think some of these feelings don’t belong in the media. Anyway, Netanyahu makes hostages more of a strategic asset with every passing sentiment. It really is meaningless saying you don’t negotiate with terrorists when you quite obviously bargain with the worst of them.
Meanwhile, Hamas reportedly are having their own warm, jubilant moments and hostages are more valuable than ever. We’re repeatedly told the war continues but the focus is no longer Israel’s security. It all sounds hollow, empty and plaintive.
It’s not only that Netanyahu changed direction but that he did it without skipping beat. If he proposes a hard line in future many might be doing a Biden and checking their watches.
Really not interested in sentiments that consolidate national unity. In times like these that’s either there without discussion or you get this. It’s better not discussed. As soon as you do that it becomes political even if your bottom line is that it shouldn’t be political. You don’t unite people in that overt and obvious way,
Jeff Bargholz says
You assume Netanyahu won’t have the extermination of Hamas continued after this ceasefire and hostages for evil islamopithecine convicts exchange is over.
Una Salus says
Apart from a very few exceptions politics is a disgusting business for disgusting people. It usually degrades the general population to the extent that they are politicised.
BLSinSC says
Now who could have seen THAT coming?? Hopefully Israel has gathered SOME intelligence as to where SOME of the hostages are and can try to save them! With the attacks the war should RESUME with a bit more intensity! Maybe the NEXT round of “ceasefire” will bring ALL the remaining, living hostages home!
Una Salus says
Hopefully is not how you conduct a war. Hopefully is what Hannity says after he says that he knows you don’t negotiate with terrorists but at the same time he knows Israel is doing the right thing because he’s hopefully hopeful..
Hopefully Hamas will abide by the agreement. Before that it was hopefully Hamas were more interested in wielding administrative power and accruing fat bank balances than conducting terror operations.
Hopefully this, hopefully that. Hopefully the Biden administration will do the right thing behind the scenes where it matters. That’s not how it works.
Hopefully Netanyahu’s innate humanity won’t cost too many lives, I don’t want to be too critical because it is an impossible situation.
Everybody is in two minds but a military operation can’t be in two minds and leadership can’t be in two minds. If you’re in two minds you might as well have disunity. From now on the hostage situation forms the basis for national unity.
Una Salus says
Hopefully Israel has a secret weapon that will end the war.
Hopefully they are gathering critical intelligence that will facilitate everything even though they’re compromising their intelligence gathering capabilities by parading them in the media all the time.
With the attacks the war should RESUME with more INTENSITY.
Anybody and everybody saw it coming but they entered into anyway.
Jeff Bargholz says
I hope the IDF shot back when they were fired uopn.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Oh, that’s a good topic. When 2 sides enter a truce, the side that first breaks the truce has a tactical advantage in the short run. I was thinking about that last night re Napoleon’s short ceasefire with the British in the early 1800s. Napoleon got the advantage by being the first to break the ceasefire, for example catching and imprisoning a bunch of Brits who were visiting France (I have a whole book about Napoleon’s British prisoners),
Erwin Schroedinger says
By trading a ceasefire and imprisoned terrorists for hostages, Israel has guaranteed that there will be more hostage taking.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes but Hamas would do it regardless of what Israel does.
CowboyUp says
That can and should be a two way street. No need to honor any agreement with hamas. Break it as soon as it’s advantageous to do so..
I think Israel should do like the Soviets did when jihadis in Beirut made the mistake of taking three soviets hostage back in the 80s. The KGB found out who took their citizens, and kidnapped some of their family members. The soviets mailed them a package with one of their relatives’ fingers in it, and told them they’d continue to get packages with body parts until they ran out of body parts to send, and then they’d grab more relatives. The jihadis killed one hostage, released the other two unharmed, and never took another Soviet hostage. The enemy will cease using a tactic when that tactic yields nothing but disaster.
