New in PJ Media:
After brutally massacring over 600 Israelis and then suffering some retaliatory strikes from Israel, the bloodthirsty jihadis of Hamas now want a truce. The Israeli government is virtually certain to get immense pressure to agree to such a truce, but this is actually the last thing that Israel should do at this point.
Even before the magnitude of what Hamas perpetrated in Israel was fully known, calls for a ceasefire became a talking point. Leftist opinion makers from the ridiculous (Antony Blinken) to the absurd (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) began calling for a ceasefire so quickly that the Babylon Bee zinged them with a riotous headline: “Emperor Hirohito Calls For Ceasefire After Bombing Of Pearl Harbor.”
Just hours after the Hamas jihad massacres began, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted an astonishingly tone-deaf statement: “We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.” The Office deleted this tweet after people started to point out how monstrous it was to urge that Israel not retaliate after being hit with the most devastating attack in its history.
Despite this embarrassment, Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted Sunday that he had met with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan; he added, “I encouraged Türkiye’s advocacy for a cease-fire.” (Türkiye is the new official name of the country formerly known as Turkey; its proud government got tired of all the Thanksgiving bird jokes.)
Blinken later took that one down as well, but other leftists continued to call for a ceasefire at a time when that could only have meant that Hamas would hit Israel and Israel would do nothing in response. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Socialist Ditzville) released a statement on Saturday afternoon, as Israeli authorities were still tracking down all the Hamas jihadis who had managed to get inside the country and start killing indiscriminately. AOC said, “An immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives.”
Eventually, after Israel bombed numerous Hamas sites in Gaza, Hamas top dogs began to think that a ceasefire sounded like a terrific idea. Reuters reported on Monday afternoon that “a senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having ‘achieved its targets.’” Asked if Hamas wanted a ceasefire, a senior leader of the jihad group, Moussa Abu Marzouk (who has a doctorate in industrial engineering from Louisiana Tech), said that Hamas “was open to ‘something of that sort’ and ‘all political dialogues.’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

After Israel kills every last one of them and takes over Gaza, should a “truce” even be considered. And the truce would be with Hisbollah and be upon terms where Israel will not bomb them if they behave and not lob shells or attempt to infiltrate into Israel, or build up a weapons storage to do so.

This is not a War it is TERRORISM, not all that different than 9-11.

Israel grow’s bigger every time Muslims perpetrate a vicious “911” attack like this.
The Gaza Strip might just become a thing of the past this time. Living in Egypt won’t be so bad.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Sounds like the same stance here in America when they burned downed cities and decimated retail outlets with brazen acts of theft. Nothing to see here. It took two atomic bombs and the fire bombing of Tokyo to bring the Japanese people to their knees and senses. This humbling process is often a painful and bloody process. Unfortunately, the same may be necessary after years of indoctrination into the Islamic Jihad Culture which calls for violence towards anyone not towing the party line. An either/or situation has come to fruition. It’s time to eat the bitter fruit of reality. Join the nations of freedom loving people or perish.

Jack Posobiec wants there to be a separate corridor for women & kids to evacuate. Doesn’t have the foggiest idea that vaginal Palis are just as vile, if not more, than their men. Just took him off my follow list

And there is this:
” Abu Obaida, a spokesman for Hamas’ armed wing, the IQB, said: ‘We have decided to put an end to this and as of now, we declare that any targeting of our people in their homes without prior warning will be regrettably faced with the execution of one the hostages of civilians we are holding.'”
Charles Stephan says
They’re probably already dead; their brutal beheadings filmed. These jihadist animals need to be firebombed day and night like Dresden Germany in WW2
somehistory says
Probably so. Many had their legs shot off before they were taken and many were bleeding profusely. and if they weren’t already, likely they have been murdered in the past couple of days…with a pretense by hamas, using them as a weapon, making the threats to the Israeli government, so when they are sent back dead, the government will be blamed….and not the terrorists who kidnapped and murdered them.
bagsgroove says
They want a prior warning ? When have we ever heard any warnings about their terror actions. Do they think non-muslims are stupid
bagsgroove says
What kind of stupid name is Abu.
Walter Sieruk says
Only the most gullible fool would believe in anything an official of Hamas would say or promise.
Any and all Hamas officials are liars The jihadist heads of Hamas by asking for “truce” are only engaging in an Islamic scheme of lying deception. To obtain more time to gather more weapons to attack Israel again in more murderous jihad strikes.

100% correct

I remember the PIRA bombing campaigns in England during the 1980’s and 90’s. The USA sadly favoured the republican side and as a result Irish Republican terrorists were able to perpetrate atrocities on the U.K. with impunity and support from the USA. Militant Irish Republicanism had its roots in the USA and even today the USA continues to side with Irish Republicanism. The PIRA claimed to be an army, but did not abide by the Geneva Convention, did not take prisoners of war nor did it have any tanks to seize land. It was an illegal terrorist organisation that would murder people in the cold, murder off duty soldiers and Policemen – those are not acts of bravery, they are War Crimes and with the Good Friday Agreement we have allowed the most evil people evade the War Crimes trials they deserved.
What about the links between Irish Republican groups and jihadists? One only has to look at the Republican murals in West Belfast to see how Irish Republicans and so called “Palestinian freedom fighters” are working hand in hand. Both Irish Republican terrorists and Hamas etc are satanic in nature.
I can only see this escalate into a full scale war now.

Make the west bank a parking lot. Then “talk” peace.

West Bank is not Gaza, and please use the correct name Judea and Samaria
