The truce violations continue:

"Palestinian terrorists in Gaza on Monday violated a truce agreement with Israel, firing a Kassam rocket at the western Negev town of Sderot...On Saturday, a rocket fired from northern Gaza landed in the Sha'ar Hanegev regional council, causing no injuries or damage."

How much longer does Israel take this?

Until we get a Prime Minister with testicular fortitude.

Will that be in the next 5 to 10 years?

Maybe sooner.

Olmert is supposed to leave office next month. Kadima picks a new leader on September 17th (with a possible runoff on September 24th). Shaul Mofaz, who used to be Defense Minister and a former Army Chief of Staff and Tzipi Livni, the current Foreign Minister are the front runners.

Bibi Netanyahu, of the Right-wing Likud is calling for new elections. We will see what happens.

Mofaz is that tough guy that said he would bomb the nuke sites, right?

Recently he called Iran "'the root of all evil,' saying that the Islamic republic's nuclear program constituted a threat to world peace." He supports diplomacy first, but if that doesn't work other options would be necessary.

The interesting part is that he was born in Tehran and lived there until he was nine or ten.
