If they do not really want peace, but are determined to destroy Israel, surely they cannot complain when Israel fights back. Its a matter of survival.

You ************* Jew, What are you doing here on Answers. Your Zionist masters are waiting to get their asses licked by you, go give them a good time you bastard.
Anyways the missiles (called Qassam or something similiar) have a range of only a few kilometers and the warhead is low explosive. If wish they use nuclear warheads and wipe that Zionist state in a final solution. Heil Hitler

You're correct in everything accept your use of the term "Palestine".
Historical Palestine is currently divided among the countries of Jordan, Israel, parts of Lebanon and Syria, and the disputed territories of Judea/Samaria and Gaza.
The world only starting calling the stateless Arabs of Judea/Samaria and Gaza "Palestinians" in the 1960s, as part of the "war of words" against the State of Israel.
Or, in their own words:
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."
- PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, 1977

Israel wants to survive and many Palestinians want to see Muslims control the Holy Land. Some even want Islam to dominate the entire world.
If the Palestinians stop fighting, there is no more war.
If Israel stops fighting, there is no more Israel.

Note to "Tinkerbell": after the ceasefire today, seven missiles exploded in Sderot – 13 in all Sunday
Israel will not defeat the Hamas terrorists by holding back. Did you really expect the Arabs to keep their part of the deal? Previous cease fires were never held by the Arabs.
Talks between an Israeli prime minister and a PA chairman have never produced any tangible positive results in the past; only escalation of terror.
80 Qassam missiles were fired at Israel in 10 days (before the current cease fire)! Hamas spokesmen have admitted that one of their key objectives is to force the evacuation of Israeli towns and villages around the Gaza Strip.
Inaction brings more terror; gutless leadership even worse! Prime Minister Ehud Olmert agreed to withdraw all troops from the Gaza area and cease anti-terrorist actions in return for temporary halt of Qassam rocket fire, but not other terrorist attacks.
Israel has no option but to launch a major offensive against Hamas and allied terrorist groups in Gaza. Just another symbolic offensive will not end terror. Transfer of the entire terror-infested population from Gaza would be a useful part of the operation.

Hamas and the Islamic Jihad fired 3 rockets shortly after the cease fire took effect and that's all.Since then no incident occurred and both parties seem to want this truce to work...
Unfortunately this truce is available only in Gaza...so the Israeli military actions in West Bank continue...So I don't know how long it will last since Israel stopped killing Palestinians in Gaza but continues to do it in West Bank...So when they are going to make another "technical mistake",this time in West Bank ,Israelis shouldn't complain that they are being attacked for no reason...

Did you not notice that there were STILL Israeli soldiers in Gaza, even after the cease-fire took effect?
That is why the rockets were fired (which, by the way, were fired away from civilians). It was a sign that the Israelis still hadn't completed their part of the agreement.
And I agree with TinkerBell. The offensive may end in Gaza, but in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers are still slaughtering civilians, and Jewish settlements continue to be set up on Palestininan land.
