The Israelis have lost this one, by the way, just as in 2006. Ceasing fire and withdrawing while Hamas are still around and capable of firing rockets is not what was intended at the beginning. Israel's part-time armed forces put a huge strain on the economy, which being run on Western neo-liberal lines these days, is hardly going to be able to take prolonged mobilisation of their best people plus worldwide recession. The Gazans, who aren't in a position to worry about global recessions, will multiply like rabbits as usual and we'll be back to square one, but with a new breed of Hamas leader even nastier than the last lot, and with firm support.
Cue the Israeli propaganda machine. If you see a chap called Mark Regev anywhere, he's lying. Even if he tells you the sky is blue, get a second opinion.
Also, every time Israel do this, they lose a little bit more support in the world. Watch the Turks.
