A No Hudna Zone

Gees, that friendly "charity" known as Hamas has declared that "there is no room for discussion" of another cease fire until Israel stops its aggressions.

Sounds like something a child would say: "I'll act right when you quit punishing me!" That's the time to jack up the pressure, not to release it. That's when you know that you're having a real effect is when they start blustering about how you're not having any effect.

Besides why would the Israelis want a hudna anyways? All it is is a ceasefire designed to give both sides time to rearm before beginning the conflict again. Perhaps during medieval warfare this was a generous offer, but not now it isn't. It's simply an opportunity for the bomb makers in Gaza and the West Bank to build up an inventory to be used in a "blaze" of hateful "glory."

Let Hamas declare their opposition to a hudna. Let them declare their opposition to peace. Let them prove just how charitable they really are.
