#2 So the Hamas is not defeated and will accept this?
Only if Quatar and their other patrons are squeezed .

#4 We're a little busy here Jawn (rhymes with yawn), we'll get back to you just as soon as we clean up this mess. (Jawn, do you recall how Obumble's administration green-lighted Hamas and Hezbollah by throwing us under the bus? You probably don't, that was a long time ago back in 2012 and Hilda was SOS. It was Hezbollah that was lobbing rockets into Israel then. Plus, the wuzzie stance ya'll took on Iran didn't help.)?

#5 turns out that phase one has complicated language that hamas interprets as requiring Israel to stop destroying tunnels while Israel has been told by the US that they may continue destroying tunnels

Israel's security cabinet has met for 3 hours trying to figure this out but hasn't yet figured it out

#9 I have a real simple ceasefire proposal: Hamas stops shooting rockets at Israel and turns over all their remaining rockets.

No? Very well, carry on, Israel. We'll ask again in a few weeks.

#10 Kerry is furiously attempting to polish his diplomatic cred for another Presidential run against Faux-Cahontis and Biden ("Now with 50% More Stupid") now that Ms. Clintons star is beginning to fade.

#11 Again, even iff one presumes that Israel + the PA are able to work out all the nitty gritty details of an effective two-state solution, + agree to finally live in peace, THERES STILL THE MATTER OF EGYPT CLAIMING SOVEREIGNTY OVER GAZA, + JORDAN OVER THE WEST BANK - what is POTUS Bammer + SecState Jaawhn, etal. doing to alter this situation in favor of the Paleos having de facto physical territory to call their own???

In the absence of any changes per the above, IT STILL COMES DOWN TO THE PA HAVING TO RELY MAJORILY OR WHOLLY ON ISRAEL FOR THEIR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
