Hamas' refusal to accept the United State's ceasefire proposal is not unexpected, after all they expect to get bailed out and are taking the statements by Britain, France, Canada, and Germany warning Israel not to win as proof that they will get bailed out and stopped form losing the war they started.
Yahoo News: Hamas to reject US Gaza ceasefire plan
BBC: Hamas official says it will reject new US Gaza ceasefire plan backed by Israel
On the upside, Hamas' rejection of the deal, which was quote favorable to it leaves the door open for continued Israeli pressure to get them to come back tto the table. The US-made deal featured yet another lopsided exchange of 10 live and 18 dead Israeli hostages held by Hamas for 1,200 Hamasniks. This was not a good deal for Israel by any stretch of the imagination. The deal still left approximately (as we don;t really know if they are alive or not) 10 live Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas for another 60 days.
Hamas figures it can wait for external pressure on Israel to stop Israel from decisively defeating Hamas, and let Hamas remain to commit more terror attacks in the future.
Unfortunately, they may just be right.

It would seem that the phrase "never again" just means that the Democrats won't let the Republicans force them to be exposed to the people as the criminals that they are. Actually I guess that I am sort of mistaken when I differentiate between the two entrenched parties. While it can be said that they are two sides of the same coin, that coin is pretty thin and their backs are touching.
Israel is going to get tired of the BS and end Hamas once and for all sooner rather than later.
Israel need to get serious about eliminating Hamas.
