CNN reported a few minutes ago that Mr.Abbas reached a 30 (?) day cease-fire agreement with Palestinian militants.

Has anybody heard about this from other news sources ?

Is this is a cease-fire between Palestinian factions or between Israel and Palestine ?

If it is true and indeed a cease-fire between Israel and Palestine, this is a major breakthrough. It shows that a cease-fire, although 30 days, is possible.

"Palestinian groups 'agree truce'

Hamas has so far not confirmed any formal truce
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has secured a ceasefire from two Palestinian militant groups, Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz says."

I'm from Israel and there could not be ant cease-fire here. On paper maybe...but not in reality.

Don't you see it as a step in the right direction ?

I totally agree because the Bible which the Israelis go by advocates war, death & destruction (read it, it is a violent book) Basically if you can't get your own way, and you ask God politely (via prayer) for permission to kill, he'll say sure go ahead! (Bush has done it with his 'Oil Wars' -it really works!)

In Palestine the British basically dumped the Jews there, and then left them to their own devises - so they are doing to the Palestines, what Hitler did to them, its that old 'eye-for-an-eye' cliche.

Its Palestines homeland!

Imagine if (and going by scale here) 1/4 the population of China was dumped in America, do you think Americans would be justified in trying to get rid of the Chinese?

There is indeed a cease fire !! I'm curious how Abbas is going to handle the Palestinian factions who absolutely do not want peace, like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other foreign financed terror organisations.

Abbas is showing great courage and great leadership. Chapeau !
