This looks like another attempt by Hamas to portray itself as "moderate," and thereby gull the Infidels into fatal concessions. "Gaza militants say Hamas stops their rocket fire," by Nidal al-Mughrabi for Reuters, October 10:
GAZA (Reuters) - A Palestinian armed group accused the Gaza Strip's Hamas rulers on Saturday of preventing its men from firing rockets at Israel, a sensitive allegation for the Islamist faction as it pursues mediated deals with the Jewish state.
Hamas police intercepted Islamic Jihad rocket crews on three occasions over the past month, a group official said, foiling their bids to avenge Israeli fire on Gaza and to show solidarity with Palestinian protests over a contested Jerusalem shrine.
"We have been prevented from launching attacks," the Islamic Jihad official told Reuters, adding that Hamas had also scrapped a planned rally by the group and arrested two of its members in a dispute over control of a mosque in northern Gaza....
'Not now Abdullah...not now'...Hamas is just trying to look like a good guy...They also don't want the unofficial to provoke Israel into another Gaza attack...Concessions are on the way...Get the concessions first and then attack...
We have been prevented from launching attacks," the Islamic Jihad official told Reuters,
BOO HOO all it really means it that islamic jihad cant get the propaganda they want from idf retaliation
Taqyia (sp?)

Maybe Hamas is tired of getting their butts kicked by Israel.A good thing that Israel does not listen to the US or
Europe when launching retaliatory attacks on the Islamist.
You should KNOW you've got problems when you consider Hamas to be too moderate. It's never a surprise when so-called 'freedom fighters' refuse to listen when offered a chance to bargain, just because they love carnage more than anything else.
Still, I'm glad these idiots lack the patience / discipline / sanity / humanity to hold off launching yet more rockets at Israel, because at least that means we can be left in no doubt of their intentions towards Israel.
Not that Hamas was doing a great job of fooling people in the first place, but there mustn't be any lapse in vigilance as the 'peace' talks charade continues (i.e. the Arabs talking out of one side of their mouths about how much they've suffered and just want to live normal lives, while vowing to their own people to KILL ALL THE JOOOOZ).
I hope that Israel stays safe - if I had Governmental resources at my disposal I'd send as much cash and WMDs as they can physically handle.
Islamic Jihad to Hamas: Hey, you're not letting us fire rockets into Israel

Perhaps now Islamic Jihad can declare Hamas "insufficiently Islamic", and brutally kick them out of Gaza, the way Hamas did with Fatah. Then the Al-Qaida-backed "Islamic emirate of Gaza" can declare Islamic Jihad "insufficiently Islamic"...
Islam--it's always a farcical, bloody race to the bottom.
The religion of peace whines quite a bit.
very true and imo the peace is is of is the peace of death , theirs nothing more peaceful than a dead body and they worship death it seems
This could be interesting. Who is the infidel in this? Does this mean we could see them kick eaxh others butts for the propaganda. woo hoo
