What the cease-fire means to Israel and Hamas | Redux

What the cease-fire means to Israel and Hamas

Excerpt:

The White House was quick to credit President Obama for brokering the ceasefire deal between Israel, Egypt and in turn Hamas. In the official statement released by the White House today, it said "The President commended the Prime Minister [of Israel] for agreeing to the Egyptian ceasefire proposal - which the President recommended the Prime Minister do." Obama sent his Secretary of State at the last minute to broker the deal as 30,000 Israeli troops sat poised to enter the Gaza Strip, even though State Department officials said Tuesday that the Secretary was not carrying any proposals. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spent the next 24 hours shuttling between Jerusalem, Ramallah and Cairo putting the final touches on a deal that Hamas had agreed to with Egypt 24 hours before.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
