HAMAS WINS AGAIN! After sending nearly 500 rockets and mortars into Israel, killing at least one and injuring many, Hamas agrees to a cease fire.
“We’ve taken our toll on you, now we have a cease fire so you can’t fight back.”
What’s wrong with this picture?
APPARENTLY SOMETHING IS sufficiently “wrong with this picture” to cause Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to resign his post.
Liberman announced his resignation in a press conference Wednesday afternoon (11/14/18) expressing dissatisfaction with Israel’s ceasefire with Hamas. He says he will call for immediate elections.1
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defends ceasefire, cites secret information2 that, apparently, is too secret to share with the country’s defense minister.
Meanwhile, opposition party members celebrated Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s announcement Wednesday that he was resigning his post.
Leader of the opposition and member of the Zionist Union Tzipi Livni said, “Liberman is right that the government revealed weakness against terror. Everyone errs who thinks the solution is with Liberman, Bennett or the rest of the slogan throwers. We’re the solution.”3
It seems the more Hamas gets from, or via, Israel, the more it indiscriminately attacks Israeli civilians.
There WAS a brief cease fire, but Hamas broke it.
Does anyone believe Hamas will honor ANYTHING that is not to its advantage (and to Israel’s disadvantage)?
Didn’t Israel’s politicians learn ANYTHING from Oslo?
Netanyahu, “Bibi,” can’t seem to stick to a decision from one day to the next.
Allow settlements.
Bulldoze the same settlements.
Close the border to Gaza in retaliation for rockets, mortars, and fire bombs.
Open the border when Hamas offers a cease fire.
Close the border’s again when Hamas violates the cease fire.
Allow millions of dollars into Gaza for humanitarian use.
Let Israelis be shelled by Hamas again.
I don’t blame Liberman for resigning. The way Bibi is flip-flopping, it seems the inmates are running he asylum.
Unlike the opposition parties, I doubt they (the opposition) could do better.
One thing is beyond question: Likud 2018 is NOT the Likud of Menachem Begin, the man who forged, with Anwar Sadat, a long-lasting peace agreement.
Likud 2018 can’t seem to create a program and stick to it.
Is Likud — read Netanyahu — afraid of the Left?
Has Likud 2018 lost confidence in its military and its diplomatic corps.
Netanyahu is guiding Israel along a path that seems to be influenced by the former U.S. president, a man who diligently worked against Israel’s interests.
Or is Netanyahu simply a politician in mold of the Roman god, Janus.
What Israel needs today is another Jabotinsky or Begin or even Trumpeldor.

PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
