There’s no ceasefire and moving to the next phase will make it worse.
The very bare minimum for a ‘ceasefire’ anywhere is that the firing must ‘cease’. If the firing hasn’t ceased, it’s not a ceasefire. Sure the firing occasionally ceases, but firing always occasionally ceases. Even in the hottest of wars.
The bottom line is that apart from returning some bodies, Hamas has done nothing to comply with the ceasefire. It has continued launching attacks. Israel in response has struck Hamas.
Hamas has made it clear that it will not disarm. Qatar, which negotiated the fake ‘ceasefire’, backed up the demands of its Hamas proxy at the Doha Forum, for a complete Israeli withdrawal until Hamas does anything. (And then Hamas won’t do anything anyway.)
The Muslim countries that were supposed to form the international force that was going to disarm Hamas and police Gaza have made it abundantly clear that they won’t disarm Hamas or police Gaza.
Despite the fact that there’s no functioning ceasefire or any possibility of moving to a second phase of the non-deal, the Trump administration reportedly wants to announce that it’s moving to the second phase on Christmas. While the timing for that looks great from a PR standpoint, it doesn’t reflect any kind of actual reality on the ground.
Nevertheless, the Trump administration really wants to announce Phase 2 and its ‘Board of Peace’ to run Gaza. (All we know about the ‘board’ is that former UK PM Tony Blair is no longer on it because Muslim countries objected to him). Israel is being reportedly pressured to go along so we can have another PR spectacle like the ceasefire deal that is completely detached from reality and acts as cover for a Hamas takeover.
Worse still, the so-called ISF international force is set to consist of Turkey, an Islamic terror state which recently threatened to nuke Israel, Egypt, which has coordinated with the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Muslim countries, and it will not be moving to disarm Hamas, rather it’s moving into parts of Gaza controlled by Israel. Israel will withdraw, and this ISF is supposed to then turn over control to the Gaza ‘Board of Peace’. In reality this supposed parallel government will just be a front for Hamas and the PLO.
And once Israel withdraws, it’ll be much harder to come back. Hamas is not only not being disarmed, but its next attacks and weapons construction will take place under the cover of occupying Muslim forces.
The United States needs to pull out of this farce before it spins out of control into violence and war on a much larger scale. There’s no ceasefire and moving to the next phase will make it worse. If we keep going down this road, instead of a war in Gaza, we could be looking at a regional war involving Israel, Egypt and Turkey.
That’s not the legacy that the Trump administration should want.
Patrick says
President Trump is desperately trying to “normalize”Islam in the GAZA world. He thinks by befriending Muslim terrorists from Syria and Saudi Arabia, inviting them into the White House, calling Qatar and Turkey our “allies,” they’re now normalized. Bullshit!
Trump is dealing with the most dangerous people on earth, elite Muslim terrorists. Trump/America are compromised, due to Trump’s inability to understand Islamism, totalitarianism, taqiyya, jihad, Muhammad, Allah and Muhammad’s Hadiths.
Billy says
Islam’s Muslims use money to exercise influence, power, and control in the West(Qur’an 4:95; 49:15, etc.). Nevertheless, virtue-signaling Western Leaders, the Leftists pushing a Totalitarian System of State-Control, Censorship, and Discrimination, falsely paint Islam as peaceful, tolerant, and benign like other religions while Politicians and Bureaucrats help Muslims migrate into the West to ultimately conquer Christendom with incompatible Sharia, Islamic Law, and with Propaganda from their ahistorical Qur’an and its Islamic Sources. Islam is a satanic serpent seeking who it may rape, murder, and devour when Muslims infiltrate Western Institutions and Western culture for totalitarian power and control(Qur’an (9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.).
rubiconcrest says
You aptly summed what we are seeing play out in Gaza. Trump still has to learn that where there is Islam, there is no peace.

“There is no peace, my God has said, for the wicked one.” And, “I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.”
islime did not exist when those two Psalms were written. But the same evil entity behind those ones…the “wicked” and those who “are for war”… is the same today as those many years ago.
That demon is still behind all of the wickedness and evil and warfare. There can be no real peace as long as he is free to entice humans to do wrong, evil, wicked things. Some, even many, humans find pleasure in hurting and killing other humans. hamas and the other muzzies, prove that over and over.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“islime did not exist when those two Psalms were written.”
It’s absolutely amazing to realize that there was a time in history when islam never existed.
somehistory says
James, How would anyone who lives today, not looking at the Bible, know that , when islime is everywhere?
Probably most who read these pages saw old movies and television portray muzzies as just mysterious people who lived in places far away….wearing flowing robes and hiding their faces. I would never have guessed that the portrayals were of people who would gladly kill me…for no reason. And the dancers in tents, with robed males watching, had been abducted to be held as slaves.
It makes me recall Ray Stevens singing about “Ahab, the Arab.”
James Lincoln says

Kepha says
Not utterly amazing in the least. Read a few ancient books (the Bible is a good place to start). Just because AI creates pictures of the Jerusalem of Solomon’s or Jesus’ time or Achaemenid Persia as Islamic down to minarets and Arabic lettering, it doesn’t mean it was so.

Alkflaeda says
The hostage deal looked too good to be true, and we should have realised that it was. Of course, by normal moral standards, no hostages should ever have been taken or kept (much less killed in custody) – but we always give Islam a pass on normal moral standards, whilst they condemn us as “decadent”.
There is some reason why Hamas does not want to proceed to stage two of the peace process – hence hanging onto the body of the last hostage. I’m not clear what that reason is, though obviously they want to consolidate as much as possible. Do they think that this is the point at which their taqiyya will be revealed for what it is? Clearly they have no reason to fear confiscation of their weapons.
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, that “ceasefire” is a lie . Meaning that, “ceasefire argument” is a hoax on the part of that disingenuous and outright liar of Hamas.
For that so called “peace deal” and the “ceasefire” that is part of it with the jihadist chiefs of the murderous jihad entity Hamas pretended to agree to is a deceptive Islamic hoax. Meaning nothing but a false and fake truce.
The reason why this is so is because such a “ceasefire” would not really be agreed to is because it’s a ploy for Hamas to restore its loses by using that for Iran to resupply it with deadly weapons provided to it by Iran.
Those jihadists would only keep the terms of a ceasefire only as long as it would site them and no longer .Then those Muslim terrorists of Hamas will then break the “truce” and then launch more jihad missile attacks murdering the peaceful civilians of the State of Israel.
Likewise, the Muslim terrorists of Hamas will also sneak into Israel from Gaza and hand held weapons of death and inflect murderous jihad massacres on the Jewish people of Israel.
So that “ peace agreement” with those jihadist chiefs of the murderous jihad entity Hamas would agree for would be a hoax . Meaning nothing but a false and fake truce.

Brenrod says
As a support of Trump I am deeply disturbed by his pretension that Turkey and Qatar are Allie’s when both give sanctuary and funding to a terror designated enemy of the USA. I would have to be blind, deaf, dumb and drunk to buy that ridiculous narrative. My hope is that he is not Ignorant or naive but did all this to get the hostages back and will now tell Israel to finish the job. There is no reason to Honor any C-Spire deal which was made under duress of kidnapping hostages. No one in a negotiation with kidnappers feels the need to honor a deal with them. It is a concept in basic law that agreements made under duress are not enforceable under the law, duh?
Walter Sieruk says
That ”ceasefire agreement” with Hamas is, indeed a lie. For those lying Muslim terrorists chiefs of Hamas never had any intention keeping their word and any promise they had made from the start of those “so called “talks”
Therefore, Benjamin Netanyahu is right when he had declared, “Hamas must be destroyed.” Later, he vowed to “End Hamas.”
The reason why this is so is because when it comes to those brutal cruel vile heinous malicious and murderous jihadist savages of Hamas it’s “Either kill or be killed.”
So, Hamas needs to be hit long and hard and it should to hit with much military might and. struck great power repeatedly until it’s completely destroyed. As it had been also, rightly said “Half –measures is folly and madness.”
For the j Muslim terrorists of Hamas will not respond to reason or logic , in others words, they cannot and will not be reasoned with. The only language that are able to understand is that of being the receiving end of a power of a great military might. As Thomas Jefferson had, rightly, written “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
Even the leftist US President Franklin D. Roosevelt with all liberal socialist had very wisely declared, “No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu had revealed knowledge and wisdom by his statement about the need to about the very important and necessary need to engage in the “Elimination of Hamas.”

It’s Time to End the Gaza Ceasefire Lie
………………………………………………..
Yes–the whole thing is just a sick farce.
Winson 101 says
Yes, it’s past time to stop the Ceasefire that never Ceased.
Stop doing the thing that never Started.
Trump got the living and, all but one of the dead hostages
home, wonderful, but Phase 2 is DOA.
Trump’s plan will not work because it does not comport with reality.
Trump’s plan reveals it is not a plan prepared by anyone
that understands what “Islam” is.
When you attempt to negotiate with an “Islamic Nation” or entity,
you are negotiating with Islam.
Therefore you must understand what this “Islam” is.
Islam is the combined totalitarian government and religion that
rules over believers and non-believers alike, with the goal of world
conquest.
Islam militantly seeks to bring all to Allah’s Caliphate.
Islam’s Strategy and Tactics have not changed in 1400 years:
To engage in Holy War to bring all the World into Islam.
Is there truly no one in Trump’s administration that knows what Islam is?
No one who has read the Quran, Hadith and Sunna?
No one who has studied the History of Islamic Warfare?
No one who understands Islam declared war on the West
1400 years ago? A declaration that has never been rescinded.
How can you expect to succeed at something you have not made
yourself familiar with?
If the Trump administration understood Islam they would understand
that:
Gaza is an Islamic Jihadi Project.
The Islamic Jihadi Project is to eliminate Israel
and return the land to the House of Islam.
The subterfuge of “Palestine” is merely a
convenient ruse.
Hamas is the stand-in for all the other Islamic countries
who can’t be seen doing what Hamas is doing.
Hamas is the Islamic vanguard troops.
The only answer is for Israel is to do whatever Israel
needs to do to survive. The U S should not hamper Israel”s
efforts at survival in a futile and vain pursuit of “peace”.
It is a zero sum game when playing
with Islam. Them or you. Winner takes all.
If negotiating with Islam worked Bill Clinton would not
have been left standing with egg on his face with
his Oslo Accords in tatters on the ground.
Yasser Arafat walked away, after being offered everything he said
he wanted.
Arafat then resumed what he really wanted:
To embarrass the foolish U S President in front of the whole world –
and to resume the Intifada against Israel.
To continue fighting the Holy War against The West
for Islam’s Caliphate.
The Trump administration would be wise to recognize this.

“And once Israel withdraws, it’ll be much harder to come back. Hamas is not only not being disarmed, but its next attacks and weapons construction will take place under the cover of occupying Muslim forces.”
I can only imagine how the moslame security forces will respond to further attacks by Hamas on Israel. They’ll either facilitate them or take part in them. In any case, the moslame security forces will definitely make sure Gaza gets all the arms and armaments it needs to continue its attacks on Israel and the quality of these arms and armaments may even be better with the moslame “security forces” insuring the ceasefire.
Winston 101 says
KufarDawg,
Great point.
You are, hideously, correct. No more home made water pipe rockets.
They’d have industrial grade weapons obtained under the cover of
plausible deniability by said “security forces”.
