Jan 18: Oh What a surprise

Oh what a surprise, Israel announces a ceasefire in time for Obama's Inauguration. Who would have guess that ? Oh, Olmert won't be able to ring Bush up and ask him to delay the inauguration, like he he did for the UN resolution when Condi Rice was told by Bush via Olmert to abstain. 

Israel is to halt its three-week military offensive against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said. He said Israel had achieved its aims and the unilateral ceasefire would start at 0200 (2400 GMT). But he said troops would remain in Gaza for now.

This issue here is, Hamas don't really agree with the fact that the IDF will be lurking around Gaza, would you like to have the IDF in your back yard? I just can't trust what anyone from the IDF say. There was this website, Israeli Defense Force Spokeperson website. Now, this is a very new website. It hasn't been a website that has been around for the purpose telling people what the IDF does.

Looking at the WHOIS information of the website. It's using the Wordpress servers,

IP Address: 72.233.2.58 Domain TLD: com Domain Length: 15 chars Response Code: 200 Location: Plano, TX, United States

So, is this website for real? Well yes, it's a the 3rd arm of the IDF's war, the  propaganda war. Trying to portray the rocket's fired at Israel as really bad.  I'm sorry, but the damage ratio, between a max payload of 10KG (Quasam info via Wiki) verses 500Kg bombs, tank shells and in some reported cases the use of White phosphorus. I'm sorry, but there is no, I repeat, No reason, No need to use this level of violance agaist the people of Gaza. I think there should be a place, a few seats in the human rights courts in The Hague with a few Israeli Generals and politicians.

Isreal claims as it always does, that Hamas started this conflict, I'm sorry, It didn't as usual it was Israel who did

 

So, How will Israel look after all this has ended? Not good I feel,  But there you go, for a nation that was built on Terrorism, Built on violance. Being supported by a President who was addicted bombing and killing. Hopefully Obama will tell the Israelis to stop and shut the fuck up.

 

I ramble too much, suffice to say, It wasn't a surprise that a cease fire would be sorted in time for Obama's big day!
