No matter what happens here, the palestinians still lose. They might not be facing air strikes, but they're still locked up in their open air prison with no hope of ever achieving freedom. Israel don't really care if Hamas accept or reject the proposals because A) Hamas can't hurt them militarily and so ceasefire or no ceasefire, little changes for the average israli citizen No matter what the proposals are, Israel can accept them for PR reasons and then break the agreement whenever it suits them knowing that there will be no consequences for them.

Awful crime, but Israel isn't any better, seeing as they broke the ceasefire in the first place, and there continued violent settlement project.
Care to explain the attacks on civilian targets, where rockets weren't fired from e.g. the attempt to murder the Gaza police chief (police are a civilian target not being military) for example? Oh wait, you won't acknowledge that and just claim without proof that Hamas are using Human Shields.
What interesting is Hamas stopped attacking, those settlements get bigger and bigger for some reason. Even, when the PA work with Israel to stop attacks the settlement increase.
Hamas is an extremist group that has been born out of the extreme suffering of a displaced population. Think of the hate that the Irish have historically had for the English, think of the recent history of the IRA and the support they have had. Then multiply the oppression by about 100 and then see if you can empathize with why a group like Hamas exist. The locals have no hope, they cannot leave, they cannot make a life if they stay, their destiny is watch their families and friends murdered over and over again while the world watches and does nothing. Do you think you would be an extremist if your family and friends were murdered unjustly with no repercussion? I would say most of us would but amazingly the majority of people living in Gaza are not extremists who just desperately want a chance at a future. Have a look at some figures for the numbers of Palestinians killed vs Israeli's over the last couple of decades. You then might see that Israel is the genocidal aggressor even if they don't announce it publicly.

They are addicted to it. Hamas have their chance to accept a ceasefire. If they do not then the IDF will widen their military operation. Bibi should show them no mercy if they continue firing rockets. They have sown the wind and now will reap the whirlwind.

Israel has the land and has had for 70 years. It has no intention of giving it up. There comes a point where you have to face reality, and launching rockets time and again knowing you will suffer retaliation is simply crazy. Okay, from the Guardian 2012.... Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal vowed Gaza's rulers would never give up "an inch of the land" to Israel in an uncompromising speech before tens of thousands of cheering supporters at a triumphalist "victory" rally in Gaza City. "Palestine is ours, from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on an inch of the land," he told the crowd on his first visit to Gaza. "We will never recognise the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation and therefore there is no legitimacy for Israel, no matter how long it will take." Meshaal congratulated fighters from Hamas and other armed groups who targeted long-range missiles at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, saying: "We don't fight Jews because they are Jews. We fight the Zionists because they are conquerors and we will continue to fight anyone who takes our land and our holy places … We will free Jerusalem inch by inch, stone by stone." The Middle East is a mess and there are many people with blood on their hands, but the fact is Israel is here and here to stay, and like any people they will defend themselves and hit back if attacked.

Hamas have rejected it.http://m.rte.ie/news/touch//2014/0715/630798-israel-gaza/ Hamas would be crazy to reject this, they need this ceasefire more than Israel does. I suspect they will agree eventually and are just trying to save face after receiving such a beating these last few days.

You obviously have a political agenda on this topic that has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with propaganda and disinformation. The only reason people are replying to you is in the hope that you don't manage to infect anybody with your hateful and vitriolic lies Edit: Re the bolded part of your post, the way you describe murder of innocents with such obvious glee is disturbing.
