Icon19 Gaza truce. ..taking bets on how long this one will last.


Fragile Gaza truce comes into force


AFP - A fragile truce between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas came into force in the Gaza Strip on Thursday amid scepticism over how long the Egyptian-brokered deal would hold.




Any bets on how long before these middle-easterners start killing each other again?


I'm thinkin... 2 weeks.

HAH, right on schedule.



Israel-Hamas truce begins but duration in doubt

Reuters - Israel and Hamas halted fighting in the Gaza Strip on Thursday but, with peace prospects dim, both sides voiced doubt over how long the Egyptian-brokered cease-fire might hold.






Mayhaps giving these middle-easterners 2 weeks was much too optimistic on my part

The Zionists can't be trusted.

It's just for a political show.

Israel's IDF storm troopers will start murdering Palestanians as soon as they can.

A good Arab mother will teach her children to hate the Zionists more than to love life.

I'm thinkin... 2 weeks.

What, no odds? I kind of agree with your assesment, so how about:

1 week - 1-4
2 weeks - 1-1
3 weeks - 5-1
4 weeks - 20 - 1
5 weeks - 50 - 1
6 weeks - Are you kidding me?
