Never mind the fact that Hamas kept firing rockets into Israel after the "cease-fire"started, the MSM kept their powder dry until they could blame the real culprits:

JERUSALEM - Israeli troops shot and killed a Hamas-linked militant in a West Bank raid early Monday, endangering a day-old truce that stopped five months of Palestinian rocket fire and Israel operations in the Gaza Strip.

That was AP, who makes the absurd claim that the rocket fire actually stopped with the cease fire. Here's the headline from Al-Reuters:

Israel kills Palestinian gunman, woman despite truce

Bias? What bias?

Do you really need to guess?

JERUSALEM - Israeli troops withdrew from the Gaza Strip as an unexpected truce took hold Sunday, but two major Palestinian militant groups, saying they had no intention of stopping their attacks, fired volleys of homemade rockets into Israel.

The rocket attacks by Hamas and Islamic Jihad tempered hopes for a lasting cease-fire, which was meant to end five months of deadly clashes.

What amazes me is that anyone expected otherwise.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said Friday he would step down as Palestinian prime minister if that would persuade the West to lift debilitating economic sanctions.

Now if he can convince the rest of his pals to join him, we might have something.
