John Kerry taks cr*p

'Now, some are wary because of Israel’s experience following the withdrawal of Gaza and Lebanon. You have no idea how many times I hear people say, “We withdrew from Lebanon, we withdrew from Gaza, and what did we get? We got rockets.” Well, folks, it’s worth remembering these withdrawals were unilateral. They were not part of a negotiated peace treaty that included strong guarantees for Israel’s security, and they certainly weren’t part of a peace agreement that agrees to be a demilitarized state or entity.'

That's from a speech made by US Secretary of State John Kerry and quoted in full on the US State Department website.

Is John Kerry, and thus the current US Administration, really saying that people can’t complain about rockets being fired at Israel from Gaza because Israel pulled out of Gaza without any guarantees of peace from Hamas?

Is John Kerry, and thus the current US Administration, really saying that the next tome will be different because Hamas can be trusted?

Has John Kerry, and thus the current US Administration, heard of the terms Taqqiya and Hudna?


 

"Ceasefire" or "hudna"?

The news that:

"Three years after Israel fought a bloody war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, there are fears that hostilities could erupt again — this time with the militant group better armed than ever.

According to Israeli, United Nations and Hezbollah officials, the Shia Muslim militia is stronger than it was in 2006 when it took on the Israeli army in a war that killed 1,191 Lebanese and 43 Israeli civilians.

Hezbollah has up to 40,000 rockets and is training its forces to use ground-to-ground missiles capable of hitting Tel Aviv, and anti-aircraft missiles that could challenge Israel’s dominance of the skies over Lebanon.

Brigadier-General Alon Friedman, the deputy head of the Israeli Northern Command, told The Times from his headquarters overlooking the Israeli-Lebanese border that the peace of the past three years could “explode at any minute”. "

does not surprise me. When will people learn that usually when an Islamic country or terrorist body agrees to a "ceasefire" they actually agree to a "hudna"? Ah but what is a "hudna"? It's a tactical ceasefire to allow the Islamic forces time to regroup and prepare to wage war again. Time after time, Israel and the eager fools in the Western media fall for the trick and time after time it's Israelis who will pay the price.

As I have said before I think Israel's days are numbered, not since 1967 has the Country looked more surrounded by enemies, and now it has no ally in the White House but rather someone keen to sacrifice Israel to his new friends in the "Muslim World".

The peace treaty between Israel and Hamas

Take a read of this article I found today. The "hudna" angle is one that I have wanted to discuss for a while but for now read "For Zion's Sake" instead.
