#ceasefire
08/01/2014: 160 Palestinians have been murdered today by Israelis even after agreeing to a 72 hour CEASEFIRE.
Let me define CEASEFIRE, just in case it’s not obvious enough:
- a temporary suspension of fighting, typically one during which peace talks take place; a truce.
- an order or signal to stop fighting.
Absolutely disgusting, but so typical. Israel doesn’t give a shit about resolution; they don’t give a shit about anything. Their motives are clear: kill everything that is not of their own kind. Genocide. And yet, the world continues to ignore those who are being oppressed.
Zionists are doing to Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews. How can the world sit there like hypocrites condemning Hitler and the holocaust, but justify the current day Hitler-like fascist, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his continual support of what appears to be another version of just that.
Total count of Palestinians: 1567 deaths, 8760 injuries, and 9245 partially or completely destroyed homes.
07/31/2014: A 72 hour ceasefire agreement was approved by Israel and Hamas. However, the ceasefire period started 16 minutes ago. Israel bombed “Al-Salam” area in Gaza 8 minutes ago. Israel has already violated the ceasefire. Typical… Can’t wait to hear the excuses they use to blame and justify their actions. Absolute cowards.
UPDATE 10:38PM (PST): CEASEFIRE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR HALF AN HOUR, TWO VIOLATIONS BY ISRAEL HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

After General Liam Lynch was shot by Free State soldiers in the Knockmealdown Mountains and died later that evening in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, many historians see his death as the effective end of the Civil War, as the new IRA chief of staff Frank Aiken declared a ceasefire on 30 April and on 24 May ordered IRA Volunteers to dump their arms and return to their homes. Coincidentally the Good Friday…
