Egypt, Israel, Hamas close to reaching cease-fire deal

IT IS RIDICULOUS TO make do with targeted attacks, containment, and low-intensity conflict until peace is brought about by negotiations with the terrorists. We tried that in Judea and Samaria prior to Operation Defensive Shield, practicing restraint and waiting for a whole year while an unprecedented wave of terrorism engulfed the country .rabbi dr. bernhard rosenberg

Alexa Villavicencio , AB Sociology, University of Sto. Tomas. (alexaa.villaa@gmail.com) Please give the people of Gaza a lasting peace. Show them that a true leader is one who cares

In the past , israel was like a rabid dog when faced with conflict. This time , Israel is very cautious.Why?. Is it because of Netanyahu ( a hot head) is worried about the current situation ? or is because Israel is facing a new reality it knows it cannot win? We will find out soon enough....

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one" - John Lennon  Just take a moment to imagine what is being said in the song. A life in peace.  This is the world that I, a 17 year old girl envision. It may sound impossible and difficult to achieve but I do truly believe that someday, peace would invade the whole world.  One step at time,  the problems such as war would be solved through spreading peace in the world. People who are our leaders should be to first people to innate the peace. To the leader of Gaza, I plead for you to give your people the  lasting peace that they deserve.  Erica Esteban AB SOCIOLOGY University of Santo Tomas erecuh17@gmail.com

Cease-fire must include condition that Gaza will become demilitarized domain, neutral and peaceful. Never again- our citizens must live in permanent safe situation. If agreement will not achieved, ground operation will take place. IDF must do what is more important for the security of Israel.

The war they started is also home to captive pals who have no say in their own deaths. Peace or war? They chose war. Pity them.

Why cannot the politicians not send out clear factual information based on sound morals and principles. I would say to the WORLD, if Hamas does not stop their bombing with 24 hours we will escalate the situation to a full scale war and isolate Gaza even from Egypt. How can you continually allow Hamas to bomb Israel without stopping them in no uncertain terms. If a small dog keeps biting there come a time when you permanently disable it. When does this nonsense stop of “not using unjust force”. They must stop their bombing of Israel..THATS IT! Prayer for your blessing and protection Israel.
