The Hamas Interest in the Tahdiya (Temporary Truce) with Israel
Apparently the practice of political Islam is much more politically deceptive than I imagined. Mohammedanism has different terms for peace that has different degrees of understanding in which the Western geopolitical mind has a difficult time in grasping diplomatically. Not too long ago Egypt brokered (what the MSM called) a truce between Israel and Hamas of Gazastan. The MSM called the truce an Islamic hudna which apparently is a temporary peace; nonetheless certain members of the Israeli government were dubious of the reasons Hamas agreed to the said hudna.

I wonder what Israeli citizens think of America pressuring Olmert not to respond continued Hamas rocket firing? Israel has the ability to direct pin point preemptive strikes on suspected rocket launching areas, yet Olmert calls for Israeli’s to have restraint.
America has also been sending rifles to the PA loyal to Mahmoud Abbas. I wonder what Israeli citizens think of America arming their enemy. At least Hamas is honest about their design to destroy Israel. The PA controlled by Mahmoud Abbas still intends such a confrontation; Abbas is merely biding his time while he is schmoozing support from America and the EU.
Here is Jerry Golden’s insight from within Israel: There is no cease fire, only lies.
