Peace-loving Palestinians will feel cheated if the Israelis don't attack Gaza:

Fighters in Gaza Set Traps and Wait for Israeli Prey

Israel has said in its recent campaign that it reserved the right to attack in Gaza, where about 6,000 Jewish settlers live among 1 million Palestinians, and where skirmishes have not been uncommon in the last year and a half. But it has refrained from doing so.

Mr. Samhadanah [an Al Aksa commander] now says his biggest worry is not a fight. Rather, he said, he is worried that now that Secretary of State Colin L. Powell had met with both sides, there might be a political solution and the Israelis will not begin raids into Gaza.

"If we wasted a lot of money and our time getting ready, and the Israelis do not come, then they did cheat us," he said.
Bummer for him, eh?
