"isreali army has killed numerous civilians too (they dont care about side damage as long as they get their suspect).

what the isreali's are doing now is stooping down to the level of the terrorist bastards. eye for an eye."

First statement- rigt, that's why they send in troops on the ground instead of bombing, like the US does and every other country does. Remember their operation in Jenin? It was in an area that was a terrorist nerve center, and full of bombs, snipers and booby traps. They lost 12 soldiers going house to house to AVOID civilian casualties. This is standard practice- don't be ridiculous.

2nd- Palestinian terrorists kill Israeli civilian non-combatants, Israel responds by taking out guilty terrorists in self defense, when the Palestinians themselves won't do it. How is this stooping to the same level? Only one side is targeting civilians here! And anyway, there is no moral sameness to targeted civilian murder and collateral damage, incurred when the enemy uses human shields (wanted Hamas terrorists deliberately hide behind as many women and children as possible. Would you if you were a wanted man?)

Anyway, this "truce" is BS- it says in the road map that they have to DISMANTLE the terror groups. This is an attempt to move along in the process without doing so. A "hudna" is the Islamic term, and the one the Palestinian's are using for this- it is a tactical, temporary cease fire. It would only give Hamas a chance to regroup and rearm themselves, as they have been taking a beating lately. If peace is the goal, a "cease-fire" is the last thing that anyone should support- Israel said that they will continue to act against the terrorists until the PA picks up the slack, as is their responsibility, not only of the Road map, but since the Oslo accords. And they do have the strength to do so, but simply don't want to, or have the will to. The goal of the Palestinian leadership is not peace, and never has been, and this is so damned obvious that anyone who doesn't realize it is blind or in denial.
