    No watches in the hamas store or are the breaks not working ?

      It was 1 minute to midnight. I heard the boom here (Petach Tikva, 8 km from Tel Aviv). Rumours are an M75 missile fell into the sea at Bat Yam. No sirens though.

        Thanks for the update and stay safe, i try to keep the site updated as long as i can.

        But first hand info is more than welcome !

    This could become the shortest ceasefire in history.

    • Peter Hofman's avatar joopklepzeiker Says:

      I think this one will hold, hamas take their chances at the negotiating table , and will win , it is already clear that Israel will make concessions, perhaps under pressure from the black hand, who knows .

      just my 10 cent opinion .

    • Peter Hofman's avatar joopklepzeiker Says:

      If hamas breaks this one, Israel has to go full out with all their power, no more warnings no more special explosives but just an all out war to destroy completely and utterly hamas and affiliates, just bomb the living hell out of the head quarters ..

      Hopefully Israel have enough in stock, supply,s will be hard to get

      • Louisiana Steve's avatar Louisiana Steve Says:

        ….or we could see yet another ‘ceasefire’.

        • Peter Hofman's avatar joopklepzeiker Says:

          Always possible, but there is also internal politics in Israel, would the pressure on BIBI not rising ?

          And what would be the message to the rest of the barbaric idiots like the is and iran ?

          BiBi has to walk a very thin line.

          concessions or a full out war, i do not see other options !

        • Peter Hofman's avatar joopklepzeiker Says:

          It holds now for a little more than 1 hour, is that good or bad ?

          So Hamas just tweeted me:( not me but Alan Teitleman )

          Ezzedeen Al-Qassam @qassamenglish
          Big Booms in Tel Aviv….Bat Yam…Holon…this is only the beginning….‪#‎LeaveOurLand‬

          Alan Teitleman @alanmteitleman
          Ceasefire much???

          Ezzedeen Al-Qassam @qassamenglish
          @alanmteitleman a ceasefire is to prepare for the next fight. There will never be an eternal ceasefire until Palestine is liberated.

          Alan Teitleman @alanmteitleman
          @qassamenglish Can you please go and say that on US media? They seem a bit confused!

          Ezzedeen Al-Qassam @qassamenglish
          @alanmteitleman We never hide the goal of the resistance. A fully liberated Palestine.

          Alan Teitleman @alanmteitleman
          @qassamenglish So a fully liberated Palestine encompasses exactly what territory? Tel Aviv? Haifa? Tzfat?

          Ezzedeen Al-Qassam @qassamenglish
          @alanmteitleman Everything from Gaza to Jordan, Egypt to Lebanon. The whole land is ours, Jews should go back to Europe or America

          Alan Teitleman @alanmteitleman
          @qassamenglish I must ask – if your position is the whole land belongs to you, then why lie to the Western media? You seek to destroy Israel

          Ezzedeen Al-Qassam @qassamenglish
          @alanmteitleman We do not believe in destruction, we believe in freedom. The minute the zionists leave the land, the war will end.

          Alan Teitleman @alanmteitleman
          @qassamenglish So Jews should leave as part of a mass expulsion or face genocide as the alternative? That’s eerily familiar historically.

    I fear Israel is becoming complacent and is being lulled into a false sense of security by Iron Dome. What if the Palestinians begin loading the Gaza rockets with radioactive material? Then the Iron Dome will no longer protect you, it will help to destroy you, it will help to spread the radioactivity far and wide. Israel will quickly become uninhabitable, not actually, but psychologically, for what Israeli would subject their children to an environment polluted by radiation? The rocket problem, the LAUNCHING of rockets has to be stopped, not reduced, not intercepted, but stopped.

    I sense uncertainty in Israeli leadership; they appear weak and not knowing which way to turn. Pulling an about face out of Gaza and these on again off again ceasefires show great weakness by Netanyahu. Little Hamas, the baby brother of Hezbollah smallest offspring of the beast has Israel jumping like a puppet on a string.

    If Israel is being jerked around by the smallest proxy army of Tehran, what will Hezbollah be able to accomplish along with Iran itself?

    • Peter Hofman's avatar joopklepzeiker Says:

      What are you doing with a rabies inflected mad dog ?

      You put him down !

      Just an objective pragmatic common sense conclusion.

      • John Prophet's avatar John Prophet Says:

        Agreed, Israeli leadership either doesn’t get it or is incapable of putting the rabid dog down!

        • Peter Hofman's avatar joopklepzeiker Says:

          It is not only the Isareli government who seems to be not aware that the infection is spreading like a wildfire , the infected mad dogs are already in our street and city,s , and instead we battle this infection we give it free breading ground. well you have to understand it is free for the infection the rest of us will pay a very heavy price.

          But is this now out of pure stupidity or is is it something else ?

          Can we see this as a degenerative process in the evolution of human kind , a learning process like a little child who have to learn by burning his little finger at the hot stove instead of a intellectual process based on based on objective pragmatism , witch must be possible because all the experience with burned fingers is there.

          Or is it a way to a new order, you may say a sale pitch !

          The 1000 dollar question : is BIBI a go with the flow guy or is he forced to go with the flow or just a very smart operator.

          I really do not know it. i,am floating between the possibility,s

          Left over one question for me : is it civilized to let the civilized oppressed or even annihilated by the uncivilized ?

          Even the price we have to pay for controlling the mad dogs is a burden on the evolution of man kind , no worse it is a brake or even a degenerative process.

      I think there are other powerful forces threatening and dictating to the jewish political leadership.And sadly that force is from the white house.Netanyahu imho would probably like to go full speed ahead to finish off Hamas,but he is being warned -you better not.
