An Israeli Ceasefire

In an attempt to prove that it was Hamas that broke the six month ceasefire, the Israelis have provided the truce agreement for international scrutiny.

Under the terms of the truce, Israel demands that:

• Hamas end all hostilities directed at Israel
• Hamas end all smuggling into Gaza
• realise Gilad Shalit

In return, Israel guarantees to continue:

• injuring and killing Palestinian men, women and children as and when it sees fit
• the air, land and sea blockade of Gaza; preventing the entry of food, fuel and medicine and the exit of students studying outside Gaza and men, women and children seeking urgent medical treatment for life-threatening illnesses
• keeping thousands of Palestinian men, women and children in administrative detention without charge and/or trail and to arrest others as it sees fit
• building the Apartheid wall security fence
• expanding the illegal settlements
• demolishing Palestinian homes

In the event that Hamas refuses to abide by the terms of the truce, Israel reserves the right to unleash the Israeli “Defense” Force, the world’s fourth most powerful army, on the largely civilian Palestinian population and allow them to:

• kill hundreds of innocent men, women and children
• reduce to rubble schools, hospitals, mosques, UN warehouses
• unleash the hasbarim division on the western media to repeatedly exclaim that “CCccchamas are teggogists, Israel is just defending itself”, “The IDF is the most moral army in the world” and “How could we know that blowing up white phosphorus shells with a blast radius equivalent to the size of a football field over a densely packed city would hit cilivians”
