This is a great victory for the resistance and is a major turning point. Many times Israel has threatened that hitting Tel Aviv would be a 'game changer' - suggesting that such a move would bring a ferocious response. However, the brave fighters in Gaza proved these threats to be empty. When Tel Aviv was hit, there was no massive escalation. Israel knows that their residents cannot endure a tiny fraction of what the people of Palestine deal with on a daily basis. So when 'push came to shove,' Israel asked for a ceasefire.
ReplyDeleteIt appears the balance of power is changing. Thank God.
Are saying that the Israeli's want peace and the Gaza people want to continue the fighting?
DeleteYes, we can praise Egypt for this step! Now lets see about a long term solution, because the past weeks cannot be easily forgotten. I hope people can put aside the hate
ReplyDeleteA PR Disaster for Israel and USA and a huge victory for Morsi and Hamas and Turkey and Qatar. The Arab League now has to do it's job and represent the people not the old rusty corrupt dictators.
ReplyDeleteNo a PR disaster for Israel would have been to invade the Gaza because we know that there would have been many Pali "civilian" deaths from being used as human shield by the "brave" Arab fighters, lmao!
DeleteWhat a load of none sense.
DeleteLet me suggest one thing: Ask the Zionist soldiers to come to battle field with personal guns and resistance fighters will come with personal guns... no other weapon is allowed in and let them fight man to man.
