Cease fire my dyin' ass! Fuck a damned cease fire! If that's what Israel's "allies" are saying, then Israel has moe-rons for allies - including the BidenHarris regime. Come to think of it, with "allies" like the BidenHarris regime, you don't need any extra enemies!
Israel needs a better class of ally if that's what the Talking Heads are calling for.
Way back when, when I was just a young whipper-snapper, I got sage advice on winning fights from the older, adult folks who'd been there and done that. Among other bits of advice my Dear Old Dad gave me, he said "even if you know you're gonna take an ass-whoopin' get in there and make sure you at least get a sammich while they're getting their full course meal. Never leave 'em without them being all marked up for their trouble. Make sure they have something permanent to remember you by" and, perhaps more applicable to this international situation, "Don't stop beating 'em when they holler uncle - you beat 'em until YOU'RE satisfied, not their satisfaction. That keeps 'em from trying you again on a whim." Another fine fella once told me "When you're in a fight, try your damndest to kill your opponent. That's how ya win." Now, after I got a little older, and found out how easy it is to kill a man in a fight, I had to tone that one down a bit.
All of that boils down to NO GODDAMNED CEASE FIRE. All a cease fire does is to allow your enemies to reorganize and arm back up, and have another go at you, secure in the knowledge that they can just holler "uncle!" and you'll stop again. That ain't no way to win a fight, and it ain't no way to win a war. After all, a war ain't nothing but a great big ball of a whole lot of smaller fights.
When you have the advantage, and you can pin your opponent to the ropes and pull all his damned teeth, that's what you do. You keep on 'em until they CAN'T fight any more. You pound those bastards into bug dust while you can, and never let up or allow them breaks to regroup and come at you again.
So you get in there and make 'em eat shit, and make 'em eat shit but good. They'll be your Boy for the rest of their days if they know their annihilation is what you will do if they step out of line again.
So, NO, no cease fire. Those dumbasses calling for that best just get back to their knitting, and let the grown ups handle the warring.
If folks are having a go at you to the point that you have to react, then react biggly! Cry "havoc!" and let slip the Dogs of War! If you do it well enough, then they'll think twice, then think again before having another go at ya... if they're able to at all after you're done with them.
Anything worth fighting for at all is worth going all-in, and fighting like you mean it, fighting to win. If it's not important enough to do that, then it ain't important enough to fight over anyhow. Even if I KNOW I'm gonna die in a fight, I still throw everything I've got into it. I figure that if it's worth fighting for, then it's worth dying for (because EVERY fight you get into is a fight for your life), so I fully intend to at least do as much damage as I can before they get me, and take as many of them with me to hell as I can when I check out - I want some company on that dark road, and I'll bring 'em with me just to keep beating them on the road to hell if nothing else.
If it ain't worth going all-in, then it ain't worth taking a chance on getting yourself marked up over, so don't fight that fight at all.
War is not a goddamned recreational sport. The Marquis of Queensbury need not apply.
ETA: For all them piss-ants gnawing their fingernails in terror and whining about a "widening war in the Middle East", go the hell back to sleep. It's nap-time for they youngsters. Let the grown-ups handle the fighting. All you have to do to prevent a "widening war" is refuse to participate Ain't nobody else in the Middle East in any danger from Israel at the moment other than Hezbollah and Hamas, and maybe the Houthis if they keep on going the way they're headed. Israel ain't got no bone to pick with Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria,or Iraq at the moment. So they need to stop their goddamned whining and just sit the fuck down. If they don't start no shit, there won't BE no shit - for them, anyhow.
So stop whining and go out and get a goddamned hobby, ya piss-ants!
