It was only a matter of minutes--maybe hours--before Hamas would violate the “cease fire,” and in gruesome but predictable ways.

First, they began publicly executing rivals or alleged pro-Israel “traitors.” So-called “innocent” Gazans are cheering them on.

Second, and my main concern, they have failed to return the so-called Israeli corpses. Until they do so, Israel cannot know whether their loved ones are dead or alive. Hamas is perfectly capable of hiding living hostages forever under the earth and torturing them to death over many years. Absent the promised bodies--this will haunt many an Israeli. It will haunt me too.

Third, why are the usual protesters not yet chanting, “Free, Free, Palestine--FROM HAMAS!”

Fourth, will the Arab and international forces step in to forcibly remove Hamas’s weapons and destroy their terror tunnels?

Fifth, how long before Israel is allowed to do all the heavy lifting for others? Will America do this alone?

Talk to me. It is a major Jewish holy day--and here I am, carrying on. God forgive me. But I just had to have my say.

What do you all think?
