21We shouldn't be naive either.Tsy tokony ho vendrana be koa isika na izany aza e.
22Hamas wasn't born yesterday. The timing of the “unilateral” ceasefire, cooinciding with the elections in Israel, is certainly not innocent.Tsy vao omaly akory ny Hamas no teraka. ny fetram-potoana napetraka ‘samirery' ho fampitsaharana ny fifandonana ary mifanandrify indrindra amin'ny resa-pifidianana any Israely, dia tsy hoe tongatonga ho azy [tsy manan-tsiny].

29It's as though the “evil-doers” and the “good guys” are on both sides of the border, and that it's impossible to see any good outcome.Toy ny hoe hita ao amin'ny andaniny sy ny ankilany avy ny “zanaky ny helo” sy ny “tsara fanahy”, ary toy ny tsy azo saintsainina mihitsy ny hahita lalan-kivoahana tsaratsara kokoa.
