1. It's true, Hamas won
(11.21.12)
And they will keep on winning as long as Israel has coward leaders.
2. Hamas declared victory in Cast Lead
Ron ,   LA   (11.21.12)
In this round there were no victors. I doubt that the lull will last 2 weeks. Israel would have to be nuts to open border crossings...But the powers that be allowed supplies, water and electricity, maybe this is a round for hamas. Although I would not want to trade casualty lists, not that hamas cares about casualties.
3. Tiny, flaccid Arab egos.
Mea   (11.21.12)
After eight days off getting mopped up from one end of Gaza to the other, they declare victory? And all their women say it doesn't really matter, size, performance, these things do not matter really....except everyone knows the truth. Hey Hamas"warriors", just killing that vile dog Jaalibi was worth it. LOL now get to cleaning up.

5. It's always about "surrender" vs. "victory" for them
Simon   (11.21.12)
-- which is a shame. Apparently it is true Hamas only understands the language of force.
6. Firing rockets from crowded areas to facilitate casualties
Simon   (11.21.12)
is in no way a victory. Perhaps only in Bizarro Land.
7. This is sickening...
Malone ,   Hfx   (11.21.12)
Whatever happened to th old Israel...they would never have been influenced by the like of obama...sad now that this will happen all over again I wish Leiberman was in charge
8. Mea (#3), I generally agree with what you're saying, but
Simon   (11.21.12)
tone down the symbolic rhetoric of your polemic.
9. It's time for peace
Dave from Brazil ,   Sao Paulo   (11.21.12)
Israel should use this opportunity to make peace with the leaders of Gaza. Egypt would probably be willing to help.
10. Palestina won ????? what is the prize?
jew ,   europe   (11.21.12)
What are they celebrating? no future? death ? destroyed land? few milions less ? poverty? no freedom? Please i didnt get it, what they are celebrating?? i dont see victory. this is very seriouse problem those people realy dont know what is good and what is bad
11. they celebrate on the bodies of their
Macey ,   for the truth   (11.21.12)
dead human shields, it was expected. Palies saw they were loosing big time on all sides, even their propaganda lost credibilty this time round and thanks to all the Cyber Warriors for Israel, who have shown the world what a backward medievil, savage bunch these palies are,
12. that's the main difference between us & them
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (11.22.12)
You don't see Jews celebrating when Arabs are killed.
13. hahaha
mohamed ,   gaza   (11.22.12)
War in 2008 Israel by land and air either 2012 are Joe Israel's fear of war on land next war Stone for Velstiinyin and is crawling war of Antdharohna Jerusalem and Agherao what the Koran and the Torah says non-distorted approached promise right
14. Hamas won
Aaron Rosen ,   NY, NY   (11.22.12)
They won because the get to open the borders, which is more than they had before the operation ... maybe we should think about those things before we start operations with a cool and catchy biblical names
15. And they won the 67' and Yom Kippur Wars
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.22.12)
They just volunteered to be occupied.
16. Overdose...
musicwriter4life ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Massa-shal has overdosed on his anti-psychotic meds again. The IDF kicked Hamas' collective a--!
17. #12 but
(11.22.12)
But you see Arabs happily dancing in the streets, while Jewish children are huddled helplessly in shelters. There used to be Israelis and Sabonim. Now, there are only Sabonim
18. SICK
panchi ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Only these sick people would claim victory after so many of their people died. Weren't they crying about it a few days ago.....just shows you how much respect they have for their own people. I think Israel needs to end this once and for all so these palis can stick their candy where the sun don't shine.
19. Morsi of Egypt won. He is now a respected leader.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.22.12)
The U.S. also won through influencing Gazans and Israelis to stop the shooting. Gaza and/or Israel will be winners some day, when the conflict between them is settled permanently. Until then, BOTH fighting parties are ALWAYS losers.
20. very funny indeed!!
Asher ,   NY,USA   (11.22.12)
21. Hamas & war
Dave ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Hamas exists only to fight with Israel, so in their minds, this was a good week. Remember the Osama Bin Laden qoute went: we love death, you love life...
22. the perception is the reality. against
Barney ,   USA   (11.22.12)
a great country like Israel the perception is that these terrorists won. I agree with them. they should have been pounded to the point where food, energy, medicine etc was hard to come by. Israel you lost a chance at deterrence when the whole world was on your side. what a bummer
23. They sure live...
Eveliina ,   Helsinki, Finland   (11.22.12)
... in their own odd little world. I have been wondering, if it is the water, air, some fungus? Maybe it is meds :D Anyway, we are having Pro Israel Rally here in Helsinki on Monday. Hope many people will come.
24. Mabrouk Palestine <3
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.22.12)
from now on the so called IDF cant defeat us . this is our chance to regroup , reunite and rearm. the BIG war did not end.
25. Boneheads, you dropped the ball.......again
Cameron ,   USA   (11.22.12)
26. On to the next round!
Cameron ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Lay your bets down, gents.
27. #3 Mea
Marco ,   Spain   (11.22.12)
Deep down inside you know that Hamas scared the sh!t out of you. Tel Aviv under missile attack and your leaders breaking speed records while dashing to underground shelters. Oh, by the way and the border crossing are open which means that the seige is over and more sophisticated Iranian missiles on the way to Gaza in preparation for for the next round... Gazans do not have much to lose but you people have everything to lose...
28. # 13
John ,   Herzliya   (11.22.12)
Is Hamas aware of the fact that you are in possession of a computer and that you are sending massages to Israel? I am afraid that I will see the photo of you being dragged behind the motorcycle through the streets of Gaza...
29. Stupid Mentality - There is nothing to celebrate
Deena   (11.22.12)
Around 150 fatalities, the city destroyed and they still feel like celebrating? They threw some other missilies just to feed their ego.. but being honest Israel didnt hit harder because it didnt want to. With mentalities like this, with whom can we negotiate?
30. #27- Marco, see my post above!
