The Empty Ceasefire
Have a look at the goings on on the Israel/Gaza border.
"Palestinians warned the moves could force a ceasefire to collapse", huh? It sounds to me like the "Palestinians" (read: Hamas terrorists) are the ones who suspended the ceasefire. The solution to this is not to throw more empty rhetoric at Israel, which is defending itself and posing itself to protect its own security. The solution is for the "Palestinian" leadership to now, once and for all, consolidate their territorial gains in Gaza, eliminate the Hamas terrorist militias, and establish control. Until they do that, Hamas will continue using Gaza as a base for attacks, and Israel will have to respond with force.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has ordered "unrestricted" military strikes against Palestinian militants after rocket attacks from Gaza.
Overnight Israeli aircraft launched a series of air raids, injuring several people, and arrested more than 200 suspected militants in the West Bank.
Israel has also taken the unprecedented step of posting artillery pieces on the border with Gaza, and practice-firing.
Palestinians warned the moves could force a ceasefire to collapse.
Amid threats of revenge attacks from militants, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat called on US President George W Bush to step in to calm the conflict "so we can sustain the cessation of violence".
