Has Hell frozen over?

You think it's gonna last?...

...Nah

[Mike]

I give it a week.

[DaveLewis]

If that. The whole area is filled with people on both sides who are pissed off at everything and figure that their mission from God is to go out and kill somebody.

The question is how many unanswered attacks is isreal willing to take.

So far 1 AFAIK.

If nothing else this will define who is the agressor in the cycle of violence. So called freedom fighters are not really out for freedom is the answer that will come out of this.

The question is how many provocations are the Palestinians willing to take.

Israeli General Moshe Daylan
"Our strategy was always to provoke the Arabs and get an appropriate response so we could attack and smash them".

Quote collected by Uri Avnery.

The tactic is still the same, it has not changed in 50 years.

This cease fire will not last.

Do you have the context of that whole quote.

Context does have a place here.

Was he talking about a tactic to provoke palestinian militants out of a bunkered situation?

Or was he talking about generally provoking palestinians?

If the latter does he speak for israel of merely his unit?

They are already shooting at eachother again. 1 foreign worker killed.

How long did it last this time ? 12hours ?

[Epidemic]

No correction Skywalker

Terrorists are shooting as suspected terrorists and by accident mistakenly killed one foreign worker.
