What can be fairer for both sides then this: "The [Egyptian] plan seeks to establish a ceasefire under which the firing of rockets in Gaza Strip has to stop while Israel also stops targeting Palestinians. Ohter provisions include exchanging 400 Palestinian prisoners currently held in Israeli jails for captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped by Hamas in 2006.Egypt`s plan also includes the opening of Gaza`s border crossings and to put a peace agreement, if reached this year, to a Palestinian public vote."

It`s a sweet deal for the Palestinians: everything they asked for to achieve a truce. But they overwhelmingly reject it. It makes it very clear Hamas only talks of a truce - they don`t really want one. Now Hamas has to face their own people who suffer mightily under the blockade. That won`t be an easy task.

These days it`s Hamas who is the prime enemy of the Palestinians, not Israel. Thanks to Hamas` rejection of this sweet deal the Pals will continue to suffer.
