A Period of Calm between Israel and the Palestinians - Some graphs

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Show me the number of new setllements in the same period

Graph is wrong by the way, there were rocket attacks when tne inkt wasn't even dry

The rocket attacks occurred prior to zero hour on the ceasefire. The information collected is from the first full day of the ceasefire. Your comment is moot. After the signing of the Armistice in November of 1918, combatants on both sides went right on shooting up until zero hour, which was within the letter of the agreement. This ceasefire functioned just the same.


My concern would be for the validity of the numbers based on the sources listed. However, quibbling over specific numbers would not obviate Idaho's basic point, to wit, that the Israeli's are still shooting (if much less frequently) while the Palestinians (other than one hotheaded mortar team) are not. He's suggesting that it isn't much of a ceasefire at all, that the borders are still functionally closed, and that this period of calm is working only to the advantage of Israel.

What say you to that?
