Ceasefire or not?

You have to be alert to spot propaganda. The media reports a ceasefire being reached between Israel and Hamas. Then it breathlessly announces that Israel killed 6 Palestinians in Gaza. Only Israel can get away with reaching a ceasefire and continuing to kill Palestinians. I also heard an Israeli spokesman on TV saying Hamas can't be trusted with a ceasefire. The reporter didn't challenge this, for example, noting that Hamas had maintained a total ceasfire since late 2004 until they were attacked in 2007. It was something former President Carter did not forget (see last 20 seconds of this clip).
