Cease. FIRE! Hamas Attacks Again

It's another day in the neighborhood and Hamas has again taken to firing its rockets into Israel. A grad rocket slammed into Ashkelon, but thankfully there were no injuries or any damage.

The diplomats will yawn and ignore it. The Israeli political class will likely do the same. There's a ceasefire to uphold, even though Israel ceases and Hamas fires.

Tony Blair shows his utter cluelessness, and even Hamas calls him a mo-ron in the process. He says that Hamas must be part of the peace process. Blair, like most diplomats, simply ignores the part about how Hamas not only doesn't recognize Israel, but actively seeks its annihilation. It's part of the Hamas charter and it's part and parcel of the Islamist ideology that Hamas seeks to spread to all those under its thumb.

Hamas is part and parcel of the Islamist ideology; the same ideology that is kindred spirits with the likes of al Qaeda.

The diplomats continue to make baseless claims, such as how Israel has created an open-air prison in Gaza, despite the fact that it is wholly of Hamas' own doing. Hamas sought war with Israel, and Israel is under no obligation to provide Hamas with the means to fight its war (even though Israel does provide humanitarian aid that is often stolen and siphoned off by Hamas for use in building its rockets and explosives).

Besides, Egypt has its borders sealed with Gaza as well, and yet we don't hear an outcry over that particular fact. Egypt is under no obligation to have a sealed border with Gaza, and yet it does. It even continues to arrest people engaged in operating the smuggling tunnels. Fancy that.
