To Anyone Wondering Why Israel Opposes a Cease Fire

Thank the Iranian president for being kind enough to explain:

“Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate ceasefire must be implemented,” Ahmadinejad said, according to state-run television in a report posted on its website today.

In other words:

A cease fire is a necessary step on the path to achieving the goal of the destruction of Israel. Damn those Israelis (and the US, who unaccountably also would prefer not to see that happen) for not playing along. Who do they think they are, anyway, fighting to avoid being destroyed . . .
