1. What Victory ? They have been crushed
AlbertoGA ,   St. George UT, USA   (01.20.09)
Ok, But if they want more they just have to ask. An Iranian ship is moving with more Arms to Gaza. Please see the infos on Debka.com now
2. 2+2 = 5
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (01.20.09)

may they have more such great victories
4. hamas rejoice
lol ,   london uk   (01.20.09)
they rejoice in their own deaths......they are willing to sacrifice a whole people for a religion...life has no meaning....the so called religion of peace....yet the world cannot see what is really happening.......europe is lost to the cancer....one day we will look back and realise what israel did was right...but it will b 2 late
5. Hamas' Big Export: BS
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
I am amazed that they do not take those cow patties and use them for heating/building. They seem to generate them every time they open their mouths. Roar out the truth: Hamas and probably Fatah too use human shields, boobytrap Arabs in Gaza and their homes, put their "brothers" and "sisters" in harm's way, make their whole lives one act of piracy, smuggling and criminal activity after another, violate international laws, kill innocent civilians, steal humanitarian supplies, brutalize their own people, break treaties, break truces, kidnap and murder and lie lie lie. Threy are disgusting brutal lowlifes. Send this Hamas BS to your "brothers'" in the Arabian deserts so they can cultivate some agriculture.
6. Hurry February
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (01.20.09)
What is Israel's operative response to delusion? The Olmert government claimed that it could achieve deterrence simply by inflicting massive damage on Gaza while leaving Hamas intact. That's rather elitist. Would have made a lot more sense to destroy the regime while sparing the civilians. And obviously the result would have been better. Eliminating the terrorists would have deterred the civilians from continuing the terrorist attacks. They just want to be left alone.
7. The IDF should have sent an airplane to that gathering...
EM ,   USA   (01.20.09)
8. We should have bombed the rally.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.20.09)
It would have sent the right message.
9. #8, you beat me to it
Danny   (01.20.09)
10. If they are celebrating a victory why does everyone feel...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.20.09)
...so sorry for them? Maybe the news coverage of the war in Gaza was telling us lies??? Maybe their soldiers should be charged for war crimes by the international community and not ours??? We lost 13 brave soldiers. What did we win? They still fire at us. They lost 1300 plus-minus terrorist, supporters of terrorism and some human shield and possibly some "civilians" but won global approval for their cause (to wipe our all Jews)(including support from many so called "Jews/Israelis") and they are still firing on us. They also won over a billion dollars from the international circus to rebuild their terrorist infrastructure. When you look at it this way, they did win. GOD help us.
11. instead of victory rallies
(01.20.09)
maybe hamas would benefit from holding thousands of sad funerals and shouting with grief for their citizens whom then abandoned while keeping safe in their tunnels and unharmed while their people suffered the result of their 8,000 missiles barrage into israeli civilians. funerals, not victory rallies is more accurate to the situation hamas faces in gaza. victory? what victory? you, hamas, have destroyed your palestinian constituency for hate and violence. you hamas, have robbed your people of any semblance of normal life, of prosperity, of decency, of birthing a civil peaceful society. you, hamas, are not leaders. you are cowards sending your people to death and perpetuating their miserable conditions and suffering. you hamas have continually robbed your people of any modicom of life that is peaceful, prosper and viable towards a state of their own. single handedly, you robbed the palestinians of their future of a state by using violence and abusing your power in gaza to repress, kill those who oppose you, murder those who do not agree with you and eliminate any future for your people. you are a terrorist organization that is celebrating your cowardice on the 1000 dead bodies of people you care nothing about. shameful. those that celebrate this so called "victory" with you have not learned the lesson yet....israel is here to stay and no matter what you do, it will respond and slap you in the face repeatedly. you continue to employ the same strategy of terror and killing, getting pounded, and still not learning from your miserable lessons and experiences. only stupid people without any intelligence do not learn from their mistakes and faulty gudgements and continue to create a miserable reality for their constituents on the ground. you are a failed leadership. israel has taught you a lesson that will take you years to fix, years to mourn and years to come to terms with. enough os enough!
12. Israel failed to defeat Hamas
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.20.09)
STUPID MISTAKE ! They will be back stronger and with more powerful missiles and weapons next time and more Jews will die because Israel failed to end Hamas
13. #6 - Chrisona
dina ,   j-ru   (01.20.09)
are you completely retarded?? eliminate hamas and leave the civilians alone?? do you think israel WANTED to kill the civilians?! of course not. do some reading and see exactly what hamas' modus operandi is. they hide behind women and children, booby-trap schools and zoos and operate from underneath hospitals!! we're not dealing with ACTUAL human beings here so don't be under any illusions... do some reading before you post again - you've really insensed me with your dumb comments.
14. rejoiceing
colin   (01.20.09)
Hamas rejoices its defeat over Israel THEY ARE CORRECT The cowardly politicians ceased to bring the operation to a satisfactory conclusion. As always egoism for themselves.The loss of 13 people is only a number ,Hamas was NOT CRUSHED. Many officers attest to the fact they did not obtain the objective laid down at the outset of the operation Thank GOD the elections are next month to get rid of these worthless groveling nincompoops.
15. Ceasefire made them win?
Maria ,   MD   (01.20.09)
The UN and the ignorant people of the world made them think they win.The Palestinians need to be thankful that Israel didn't pulverize the Gaza Strip.LOL! They thought they won!
16. The Black Night
Jeff ,   S.F., USA   (01.20.09)
From the Python's Holy Grail movie; "We'll call it a draw".
17. Look at what the UN leader did!
Maria ,   MD   (01.20.09)
Ceasefire! Ceasefire! Sometimes, I wish Israel didn't listen to him.Look at these Palestinians, they're celebrating for resistance victory.They lost their houses,members of their families,a lot of buildings were destroyed.What's wrong with this people? Tell me.Why do they think diffrerent from us? They pray daily to their Allah, they go to pilgrimage,etc.Why is it their attitudes still different from normal people.
18. rally held in honor or for the sake of deceiving UN chief?
r.f.   (01.20.09)
WHO ARE THEY KIDDING
19. I wish them another 100 victories like this one
Maks ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.20.09)
20. Words have no meaning today, so of course they won
(01.20.09)
21. Arabs will be Arabs
Mike Sless ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
22. It's OK -- better to let them think they won
seisen ,   NY, USA   (01.20.09)
They are like little children. I played a game with my 5 year old yesterday and let her win, she was in a better mood. Hamas needs to FEEL they won, if they don't they will just become more violent to restore "honor." Let the children have their parade, and I think for a while at least, they will realize that if they fire rockets they will be pulverized. But Israel will probably need to teach them another lesson.
23.  #11 NICELY PUT. WELL DONE
R.F.   (01.20.09)
24. We wish you many more victories!
Zionist peace lover ,   Zion   (01.20.09)
We wish to celebrate with you!
25. "we didn't iberate anything"
William ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
"We can't talk about real victory because there were thousands of martyrs and we didn't liberate anything," said Jawdat Abu Nahel. What exactly is he talking about? Israel's not in Gaza and Hamas shows they rule all of Gaza (to teh chagrin of Fatah members). Is Abu Nahel upset that Israel still exists? A precept for a continuation of Hamas' death policies?? Also - I love how he cited "thousands of marytyrs". How many thousands Abu Nadel? Were they all women and children too, who only wanted to become doctors and fell in love with the olive tree outside their home? Horseshit...like Hamas' victory.
26. Hamas Did Win One Thing
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (01.20.09)
....the race to hit the tunnels when they saw the IDF coming.
27. #9. and me!
lw ,   London   (01.20.09)
I wonder how many terrorists were at that rally, probably hundreds. we should have bombed it, we're too scared. if there were women and children at the rally, well they're not innocent then and deserve to die. the opppurtunity was handed to us on a plate but we're TOO DAMNED NICE for our own good!!!
28. #6 - will the real terrorist please stand up
William ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
"Would have made a lot more sense to destroy the regime while sparing the civilians." Can you tell the difference between a civilian and a terrorist in civilian clothing?? Hamas thinks you can't which is why they reportedly took off their uniforms as soon as the IDF attacked them. They blended with the crowd ON PURPOSE. Now I'm not psychic, and I bet most IDF aren't either, but can you use your "psychic" skills to mark the terrorists for us? We'd be happy to do the rest...
29. Don’t be fooled by the headcount.
Sami ,   Atlanta, USA   (01.20.09)
For years during the Vietnam War, the US government used headcount to assure the public that they were winning.
30. TO #7 I PRERFER FIREWORKS FOR THIS CELEBRATION
DENNIS ,   CHICAGO, USA   (01.20.09)
