abas publicly said he supports the egyptian cease-fire. so i think what egypt is trying to do is move hamas towards a more moderate elements within the palestinian authority. now, whether that s going to happen, i think the big player here, too, is iran. what are they doing? are they giving hamas weapons? are they messing around again? this should be a part of our goes, get iran to be more responsible. i wonder if israel s time was limited. there were lots of reporters around in gaza a reporter is kicking the ball. he auction walks away, anise real missile falls and all these little children are killed. a mom is wailing and screaming on sidewalks screaming where is the world? where is the world? as they reported, the world is not there.
