Remember how yesterday, Egypt tried to broker a cease fire between Israel and Hamas and through the whole process, Hamas continued to fire rockets at the Iron Dome and then completely rejected the terms of the cease? Well, somehow the Washington Post<\/a> says that it’s Israel’s fault;<\/p>\n

The unraveling of an Egyptian cease-fire proposal offered little immediate hope for a diplomatic solution to a conflict that has left more than 190 Palestinians in Gaza dead and that on Tuesday claimed its first Israeli fatality.<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the military authorization to use \u201cfull force\u201d against militants in Gaza and vowed that Hamas and its allies would suffer for their decision not to halt their rocket fire into Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHamas chose to continue fighting and will pay the price for that decision,\u201d Netanyahu said in a televised address Tuesday evening. \u201cWhen there is no cease-fire, our answer is fire.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Atlantic Wire<\/a>, Adam Chandler posits that it’s because there is no Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt these days like there was 2012 when Morsi brokered the ceasefire between the two entities. Also that Hamas didn’t “win” anything in the deal this year. Seems to me that halting the thousands of missiles and rockets that Israel was firing on Gaza would qualify as “winning” something. After all, it was Hamas that started the whole thing. <\/p>\n

Chandler also complains that Israel is protecting it’s citizens rather well – you know that thing that governments are supposed to do for the people. You’d think that Hamas would want to do the same thing for it’s citizens and the quickest way to do that is to agree to a ceasefire – that’s winning right there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
