EFL Palestinian leader truce to Israel on Wednesday in an interview on an Israeli TV station, after Palestinian officials said the militant group Hamas has signaled it might agree to stop attacks on Israelis. Yeah right. But Israeli leaders say they want to first see Palestinian action to take Hamas and other militant groups out of commission before considering a cease-fire. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice
Interviewed on Israel TV’s Channel 2, Arafat, was asked if there was a possibility for a new truce. "Of course," he said. "You’re invited. The announcement was made yesterday," referring to remarks by his security adviser, Jibril Rajoub, on Tuesday. Interviewed by Israel TV’s Channel 10, Arafat said contacts are underway with all Palestinian factions over a cease-fire. "Even the Islamic Jihad said they are willing to respect a cease fire, and we are continuing our contacts with Hamas," he said. Immediately, his nose grew to an incredible size, his lips fell off, a zither string broke, and his legs shrank. Israel has said it will press on with the campaign if the Palestinians don’t act to disarm the militants, as required by the "road map" plan. The Palestinians have said that must be done in consultation, rather than confrontation, with the militant groups. "Israel does not accept the idea of a cease-fire as a means or as an alternative to fighting terror," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Jonathan Peled said. But he added Israeli sees a cease-fire "as an eventual possibility after we have found a Palestinian partner who begins to fight terror." In other words, not during this generation. |

#1 "Lucy: Why don’t you let me hold he football for you Charlie Brown? Charlie: DO YOU THINK I’M CRAZY? Do you think you can fool me with the same trick every year? Lucy: Oh, I won’t pull the ball away, Charlie Brown. I promise you. I give my Bonded word! Charlie: All right. I’ll trust you. I have an undying faith in human nature! (Charlie begins his run towards the ball) I believe that people who want to change can do so, and I believe that they should be given a chance to prove themselves. (Lucy pulls the ball away just as Charlie begins his kick) "AAUGH!" "WUMP!" Lucy: Charlie Brown, your faith in human nature is an inspiration to all young people." |
