While I still (naievely perhaps) hold out hope that rational minds will prevail, I have to admit that things do not look good as Hamas continues to be stubborn and apparently unwilling to make any concilatory moves.
The latest tax withholding by Israel appears to be a good move on their part. Time will tell.
With neither side willing to talk to the other, this could go south. Thankfully Hamas continues to honour their cease fire agreement. Let's hope Israel can recognize that as a step in the right direction and a position from which they can both move forward.
