 "Cease Fire, Ed Asner!" by J. Neil Schulman
This campaign is being run by a group calling itself Cease Fire, and they're trying to convince you that keeping a gun at home is more likely to cause harm to you or to someone in your family than it's likely to protect you from a criminal who invades your home.
Cease Fire's ads claim that a gun kept in the home increases the chance of a homicide in that home by three times.
Cease Fire's campaign doesn't tell you that in the overwhelming majority of cases where a gun is used in defense against a criminal, the gun is never even fired, much less is used to shoot or kill the criminal.

 israelinsider: Cease-fire: two interpretations
But for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples these two words, cease and fire, are more a metaphysical concept than a physical reality.
For Sharon and for the general Israeli public, a cease-fire is interpreted literally - a cessation of fire, hence, a cessation of wanton, random shootings, an end to suicide bombings in public, civilian settings, a total cessation of hostility.
Until now, as outlined in both American brokered documents, Mitchell and Tenet, a ten-day period of ceased fire was the minimum Israeli requirement needed before the move to resumed negotiations.

The allies demand that Milosevic withdraw military and paramilitary troops from Kosovo, and accept an international military force to police a settlement that grants autonomy to Kosovo, a province of the main Yugoslav republic of Serbia.
