My question: will Israel again screw things up with another attack?

June 25, 2003 | JERUSALEM (AP) -- Three key Palestinian groups, including the Islamic militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, agreed Wednesday to halt attacks on Israel for three months, a senior official of Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction said.
The official, Kadoura Fares, speaking on behalf of Fatah, said a formal statement about the cease-fire would be made later Wednesday. Fatah also signed the agreement.
According to another Palestinian official, the document outlining the truce terms was signed in Damascus, Syria, by top Hamas leader Khaled Mashal and Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Shalah. It came after lengthy negotiations between the militant groups and Marwan Barghouti, a leading Palestinian figure in Fatah who is jailed in Israel.
Barghouti signed the agreement on behalf of Fatah, which is headed by Arafat and Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, the source said.
Another militant group, the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, is associated with Fatah.

Why do you assume that Israel will screw things up? What's with the Anti-Israel bias and presuppositions?
Why not ask: will Hamas again screw things up with another attack? If anyone has consistently screwed up the peace process when it seemed to be moving forward, it has been Hamas with suicide attacks!
Israel is much more likely to keep their part of the agreement. They want peace. Hamas does not!

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

Cuz they did last time. No attacks, then Israel drops a few rockets in the middle of a populated town trying to kill someone, and the whole mess erupts again.
The rulers of Israel do not want peace. 1/3rd of their water supply is stolen from the OT. A few hundred murders a year is a small price to pay for water and territorial integrity.
But what ever. Now is time to dance. There's a truce!

Isn't it obvious that this "cease-fire" is a trick? Hamas does not want peace. They only wants a cease-fire so that their leaders don't get killed. They will use the cease-fire to re-organize, and plan attacks, then when the 3 months are up, boom!

I give it three days. Hamas does this all the time; declare peace (thinking that Isreal will let it's guard down), goes out on a suicide bomber spree within a few days... If I were Isreal I would tell them to bite it and kick them into the Mediteranian!

You make me sick! Hamas is going to use this cease-fire to re-organize, and kill scores of innocent people, and you are celebrating?!?! You are disgusting!

And they actually admit it.
And just to counter my previous post, a suicide bomber and his "operator" were captured today in Israel, they were carrying 10kg of explosives. You wont hear about it on CNN though, since failed attacks dont really indicate an intention to screw up the cease fire.

There'll still be bombings, but they just won't take credit for them.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Never mind what Fatah say. What do the actual groups say?
Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

as far as i can tell the ceasefire has taken place PRECISELY BECAUSE of the Israeli attacks. The repeated attacks on Hamas leaders are what gave Hamas the incentive to sign.
The attack on Rantissi happened AFTER a Hamas/IJ/AAMB attack on Israeli soldiers, and after Rantissi had rejected the Aqaba summit and the notion of a ceasefire.

Water can be worked out. for the rest, im truely impressed at your ability to read Mr. Sharon's mind - almost as good as rightists who claim to read Mr. Abbas'
mind.
