Hamas gov't calls for halt to fighting
2006-07-09
The Palestinians' Hamas government on Saturday called for a cease-fire, sending the first signal it is willing to compromise in its two-week standoff with Israel over captured IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit. "If we want to get out of the current crisis, it is necessary to return to calm, on the basis of a mutual halt to all military operations," Cabinet spokesman Ghazi Hamad said. "This is the position of the prime minister (Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas), that everyone return to calm and stop all operations from both sides," he said.

Comment: #2, If there is any thing rational that the Hamas paleo could think straight, is exactly what you said "#2 My position is that Haniyeh should personally return the corporal. Then we can talk about not shooting." There is nothng more honest and rational than this.

#4  Meanwhile, as the Hamsters sue for peace, they are attempting to smuggle into Gaza anticraft missles.

Another phony ceasefire appeal while they add to their weaponry.
