SHOULD HAVE INDICTED OLMERT YEARS AGO:
Israel and Hamas 'agree truce' (Daily Telegraph, 17/06/2008)
Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have agreed to a truce starting on Thursday, according to Egyptian negotiators. [...]Posted by Orrin Judd at June 17, 2008 10:53 AMThe ceasefire could be the first step towards a possible prisoner exchange between the two sides, centred on the release of Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier seized by Hamas two years ago.
It could also loosen Israeli restrictions on access to the Gaza Strip and speed up the movement of supplies.

So Islamic Jihad will be rocketing Sderot on Friday morning, no doubt (with Hamas now assuming the Arafat role of Sgt. Schultz).
If the 'ceasefire' lasts a week, it would be a miracle. And what of the Egyptian border with Gaza? Still closed?
