Hamas says they’ll stop firing rockets into Israel, and the wire service headlines are a case study in pro-Palestinian propaganda.
By Nidal al-Mughrabi, at al-Reuters: Hamas govt says it wants ceasefire with Israel.
By Ibrahim Barzak, at the Associated Press: Hamas offers to renew truce with Israel.
Agence France Presse’s uncredited story, probably also by a Palestinian stringer: Hamas says ceasefire if Israel halts attacks.
The BBC: Hamas offers to restore ceasefire.
Why would Hamas want a ceasefire all of a sudden, when just yesterday they were screaming for bloody vengeance?
The answer is at Haaretz: Haniyeh orders end to Qassam fire.
Hamas stopped firing Qassam rockets at Israel yesterday, after Israel warned that it would attack Hamas leaders.
That’s how you get Hamas’s attention.
