i agree with straightforward....there isn't much hope for a long term ceasefire as long as the occupation continues....

I don't believe it will last long, but then I always see the glass half empty.

I find it difficult to just watch. I think the ceasefire by itself cannot
solve the problem. The ceasefire is only a temporary measure. There cannot be peace without justice. So justice is what we have to finally aim for, and ending the occupation certainly has to be a part of that package.

I hate to sound pessimistic but, we've seen these cease-fires before. I hope it lasts, I really do. It is terribly unfair to the civilian population. However, my attitude is usually "Hope for the best . . . but expect the worst!" I'd much rather be pleasantly surprised than greatly disappointed. But you're right. Only time will tell . . .
