Bowing to pressure
Nobody has any guts even when they know what needs to be done. Israel has been said to be mulling over a truce because of international pressure. This may just be conjecture or it may have some truth to it. I guess I could understand if they wanted a little truce for humanitarian purposes because they really don’t want to hurt civilians but a truce to give up the whole operation would be pointless. Caving to pressure to go back to the status quo was the problem Israel had in Lebanon a few years ago. This would solve nothing. Israel needs to complete the job so this won’t have to be done again. Continuing now could possibly save more lives later. Only the good guys cave to pressure though the bad guys just keep on doing what they’re doing. It’s just like passing gun laws that only law abiding citizens pass. On the other hand Gov Blago in Illinois continues to do whatever he wants despite pressure otherwise. This guy really has some, well some hutzpah you might say, but in this case it’s all for not because Blago is about to be impeached and even his own party is saying his moves to name a replacement for Obama’s senate seat won’t be allow
