Netanyahu has it exactly right. A ceasefire or any voluntary interruption of the Israeli effort to eliminate the Hamas threat is a victory for terrorism. It proves that Hamas's war plans are working; start a war with Israel by instituting unspeakable horrors on innocent Jews, then retreat back to the underground warrens with hostages to await the coming onslaught of Israeli retribution while counting on the queasiness of Israel's western allies to pause/halt the war for "humanitarian" reasons, giving Hamas a needed publicity victory while it resupplies and reemerges for further terror. The only way to end the terror campaign is to end Hamas.
