Israel dismissed on Friday a Hamas proposal for a six-month Gaza Strip truce during which an embargo on the territory would be lifted, saying the Palestinian Islamists wanted to prepare for more fighting rather than peace.

But, alas, it is Israel dismissing Hamas’ genuine peace overtures.
U-huh.
* wording changed due to misunderstanding that I was endorsing the message of the picture and caption
