First thing in the morning I heard talk of a ceasefire.  It was a moment of release.  3 weeks would allow my friends to go back home and pick up their photo albums, get some clothes, maybe even restart their lives.  Then I started hearing from people who warned us to remember the Treaty of al-Hudaybiya, the 10 years of ceasefire that allowed Mohammed to take over Mecca (depending on how you understand history, of course.)  If I comprehend correctly  this was just after the Jewish community of Haybar was slaughtered in the same neighborhood.  The name Haybar may be familiar to some from the occasional chant warning the Jews that the army of Mohammed will return.  This was a problem the last time we had a ceasefire with Hizballah.  They understood the ceasefire as being just for us to observe.  Something to consider when ceasefire is mentioned.
