re: #56 ornery elephant

Maybe I’m crazy. But it seems to me that the Israelis have weathered the most intense international protest and admonishments…and that those protests are starting to wane and at the same time, the IDF has made first inroads into Gaza City (where more than likely 70% of Hamas is hiding) killing nearly 50 Hamas in the past two days….and NOW they decide to unilaterally end the operation? WTH am I missing here?

an off the record demand by Obama gave the Israeli’s 2 weeks to get it done
