I'm beginning to think Israel's acceptance of the ceasefire was a well calculated move - they knew Hamas would reject it, and now that it did, Israel looks pretty damn good.
Hamas would not accept it because it gave them nothing. They subjected Gaza to an ass kicking and they wanted to show some sort of gain. The deal gave them nothing.
It's a great move by Israel - even the Israel haters will have a hard time with this.
And yet, NBC continues to whore for jihad, manages to put a blame on Israel: "Israel Abandons Cease-Fire After Barrage of Rockets from Gaza".
The Guardian is even worse:

(Fox News) Israel’s military says it has resumed airstrikes on the Gaza Strip after Hamas militants rejected and violated a proposed cease-fire that was approved by Israel's Security Cabinet.
Israeli officials said that the truce proposed by Egypt's Foreign Ministry had been accepted by the cabinet shortly after it was due to take effect Tuesday at 9 a.m. local time (2 a.m. Eastern Time). Less than half an hour later, a senior Hamas official told The Associated Press that the group had rejected the proposal, claiming that Cairo had not consulted them.
"We did not receive any official draft of this Egyptian proposal," Sami Abu Zuhri said, adding that the plan, as is, was "not acceptable."
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said Tuesday that after holding its fire for six hours Israel has "resumed operational activities.”
The military said that during the six hours Gaza militants fired about 50 rockets all over Israel. No injuries were reported.
