The Qassams have to be stopped at some stage, but is the day before peace talks the day to grind into Gaza with tanks? What with this and the building in East Jersualem, it`s hard to believe Israel is serious about Rice`s peace talks. They`re putting the PA, presumably intentionally, in an almost impossible position. Turn up, while Pals are dying and look like collaborators or stay away and allow the Israeli government to cry crocodile tears and claim it has no partner for peace. Very stupid really and Rice should tell them so. Even the residents of Sderot aren`t going to thank the IDF when the Qassams re-start with added vigour in a few days or weeks` time. Very stupid.
