They give the lie to the “Cease-Fire Now” mirage, or imposture, that has become a rallying cry at pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
Why should it matter that it was Hamas that broke the cease-fire when Palestinian civilians are being killed in large numbers by Israeli bombs and bullets?
As I write, there are reports that Hamas might release some hostages in exchange for a brief cease-fire.
What about for Palestinians — women, children and noncombatant men for whom the calls for a cease-fire are supposedly intended?
There are good intentions, if also ignorance and shortsightedness, among many of those demanding a cease-fire.
