Can't say I don't agree.
Still, I'll be voting positively on the issues for a party that holds my interests and what I believe to be the best interests of this idiotic country.
Hence:
More pertinent is that just two weeks before this country elects what is possibly the most Right wing Government since the early 80's is this!
A Gilad Shalit, along with a more "long term" cease fire, is under way and there may be positive news before the elections on Tuesday.
Shockingly, these are the points that are formulated:
You mean like what we had from June to November? Only Israel didn't stop flying over the Strip and Hamas continued smuggling.
Such an honest bunch everyone is.
We'll see about this.
Attaching Gilad Shalit to the borders will create even more dragging of feet. It's not like Hamas is to keen on giving up their only bargaining chip and Israel isn't really interested in helping create a viable economy in the strip.
'Cause nobody saw this one coming. Seriously.
Hindsight.
Biggest bitch there ever was, eh?
Lastly, may I get a big resounding Duh. 'Cause this? This wasn't spoken about six months ago?
Oh, well, no one said we weren't predictable.

Shockingly, these are the points that are formulated:
# A cease-fire for 18 months in the Gaza Strip (unrelated to the West Bank). Once the cease-fire comes to an end, it will be possible to extend it for another 18 months. Hamas has promised to prevent attacks from the Gaza Strip and the IDF will avoid attacks of its own.
You mean like what we had from June to November? Only Israel didn't stop flying over the Strip and Hamas continued smuggling.
Such an honest bunch everyone is.
# A full reopening of the crossings between Israel and the Strip, which means more than mere humanitarian assistance will be allowed to cross into Gaza. Israel has conditioned a full reopening of the crossings on the release of Gilad Shalit.
We'll see about this.
Attaching Gilad Shalit to the borders will create even more dragging of feet. It's not like Hamas is to keen on giving up their only bargaining chip and Israel isn't really interested in helping create a viable economy in the strip.
# Gilad Shalit will be returned to Israel in the near future, in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
'Cause nobody saw this one coming. Seriously.
# Reopening of the Rafah border crossing. Following Egyptian insistence, the crossing will be run by Palestinian Authority officials loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas. However, unlike a similar 2005 agreement, Hamas will be allowed to maintain a presence at the crossings.
Hindsight.

Vote Harold Saxon (http://www.haroldsaxon.co.uk/), retroactively, of course. He'll accept it... wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey and all that... stuff.
