    They were in a ceasefire when Hamas attacked. ceasefire doesn’t mean I cease and you fire.

        What is the insinuation? Not enough Israeli deaths?

        The point is it takes two to tango for a ceasefire, and I don’t see two.

          It’s a graphic depicting years of violence. Insinuating? Your jumping to defend a straw man you’re creating. No one’s attacking you.

            No I’m simply stating facts. A ceasefire was inplace when Hamas attacked. Hard to understand?

                Help What? What could help is a release of hostages. What could help is stopping rocket barrage. You seem to think that a ceasefire is one sided.

                  I’m sorry, I was wrong. I think you are referring to the ceasefire in 2021. Ceasefires are conditional though. Meaning, if conditions change, conflict can restart. And either side can decide. There have been many ceasefires in this conflict.

                  Cease-fire

                  Unlike declarations of a cessation of hostilities or a truce, a cease-fire is generally meant to be binding. Like a cessation of hostilities or truce, it is only temporary in nature, but is generally expected to last for a longer period of time.

                  Cease-fires do not announce the end of a conflict, but they are meant to put the opposing parties in communication with one another about potential permanent settlements.

                  Unlike a truce, a humanitarian pause or a cessation of hostilities, the declaration of a cease-fire often applies to the entire geographical area of a conflict, according to the UN. Source
