31. When your goals are nonexistent . . .
vered ,   israel   (01.20.09)
I suppose anything is a win
32. Nothing new
Ari ,   Chicago   (01.20.09)
This is not a new strategy. Even Egypt help celebration parades after getting crushed in 67
33. ... and the Arabs believe the Koran is from god
JMK ,   NYC   (01.20.09)
and written by men based upon jewish and christian and zorastrian religious texts and folk texts, myths and legends, but they would not know that because they are functionally illiterate in classical arabic and just parrot without any understanding, and are the most poorly read people on earth.
34. The intensive labor of their oriental imagination...
(01.20.09)
35. Mashaal as Fredo,...
Gideon Reader   (01.20.09)
Haniyah as Johnny Ola, and the surviving polititurds of Hamas; the Chazas of Gaza,...."enjoy, enjoy", as Hyman Roth said at his birthday party on the hotel rooftop. Soon the party's bill comes due and the collector the Beeb will be knocking on your door looking for payment. And everyone the whole world over knows that Payback is the Momma of the puppy.
36. Very Funny, can't stop laughing
Paul ,   U.K.   (01.20.09)
Also love the part Hamas took off the uniforms as the war started!-What cowards!
37. Oh they make me laugh!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
A Hamas terrorist, with a subatomic particle where his brain should be, claimed in a TV interview on the news that 100 of our soldiers were killed but they didn't tell us. That's funny. It's so funny because they are so stupid and pathetic AND DESPERATE! Hamas are sad thick and oh so stupid. We should have wiped them out while we had the chance. Instead they appear on our TV screens and spew out sheer unadulterated crap.
38. Hamas have nothing to celebrate but neither do we
zionist forever   (01.20.09)
The IDF hurt Hamas badly and had the potential to smash them as a military force in Gaza for many years to come but then the treacherous trio Olmert, Livni and Barak stepped in declared this unilateral ceasefire where we pulled out the troops and got nothing in return handing victory to Hamas. Hamas had this victory handed to them on a plate they didn't earn it through superior fighting skills on that front they were humiliated. We have lost this war through the political desire of the tracherous trio Hamas have no right to celebrate but this country has no right to celebrate either only must lower its head in shame. Only the IDF have anything to be proud of.
39. H A M A S = Hiding Amongst Mosques And Schools
Barry ,   Tokyo   (01.20.09)
They finally decided to wear their uniforms now. What a joke. These bums are celebrating the deaths of their own human shields while saving their own sorry asses... If there was a perfect definition of what a Lowlife is, no need to look any further.
40. Trust me, Israelis crushed only civilians in Gaza.
Khalid ,   Gaza City   (01.20.09)
It is sad that you consider over 1000 murdered civilians a victory. Rockets and mortars still falling today, tunnels will be rebuilt in no time, and trust me, militiamen are already crowding all the streets again. Or are these zombies of the dead Hamas?
41. IDF stopped too soon, Israel bowing before USA President
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (01.20.09)
There seems to be a consensus among Israelis and conscious Diaspora Jews talkbackers, that IDF stopped Cast Lead too soon and that there was still much to be done in order to ensure the safety of those 500,000 people living south of Gaza - not to mention to attain the return of GIlad Shalit (you are not forgotten, achi!), safe and sound, B'ezrat Hashem! Everything indicates that the Israeli government chose to bow before the new US President ant, by doing such, to behave just like one of the many banana republics of very sad fame around Latin America. So, so sad that the bright and pride Israel, should watch such a regrettable, depressing scene!!!
42. HAMAS victory
Haim ,   USA   (01.20.09)
I wish HAMAS more "victories" like this...
43. Jihad, Crimes against humanity
Douglas Miller ,   Detroit, USA   (01.20.09)
Attention all Jihadists: I know that about now with Israel letting Hamas' terrorists off the hook in Gaza you're thumping your chests and whoopin' it up. But before the party gets rolling let's do a reality check. You're pretty good at killing Jewish women, children and defenseless men, and at using your own women and children as human shields. But in a real fight when you dare to come out of your rat holes, you're pretty mediocre. You talk a good game and your propaganda is outstanding. However, that has more to do with the media and the left wing in the West doing your public relations for you. More importantly, though, how is this going down with The Big Guy Upstairs? Jihadists, you pretend to be pious. You look seriously at the camera and spout pseudo-religious nonsense. But when it comes to values, things that The Big Guy Upstairs counts, you thugs are rock-bottom deficient. You teach your children to hate and to kill people who are different from you. You oppress and abuse women and minorities. You use G-d's name to justify territorial expansion, mass murder, torture, slavery, theft, immorality, dishonesty, brutality, bigotry and discrimination. And the list goes on and on. He can't possibly be happy with you. Jihadists, you may be having fun now, but you got a world of hurt waiting for you when your time is done.
44. Gilad Shalit is still crying,COWARDS.
(01.20.09)
45. stupid. Big difference between Israel and Hamas
Jo   (01.20.09)
No rallies, even when they win. War is never something to celebrate. And they are far more honest.
46. HAMAS Holds Victory
Josef Szmuda ,   Los Angeles USA   (01.20.09)
One man's victory is another man's defeat. HAMAS - Get it right! Josef Szmuda
47. Khalid-Where were they all then`??
Joss   (01.20.09)
Where were they then?? Suddenly there are thousands, so where have they been all this time, because the Israelis did not meet thousands of your fighters. Did they stay home? Live to fight another day bravado??? Only now they fill the streets? Not very courageous. or honourable. The rumours were true, you all went underground and only now (when it is safe) do thousands roam the streets. The world is weary................
48. Was Saeed Seyyam at the gathering?
Shaul ,   Silicon Valley, USA   (01.20.09)
Was Hamas leader Saeed Seyyam at the "victory gathering"? Oh, wait, he was killed wasn't he? Never mind...
49. Honourable Zionists, Khalid #40 must...
Joseph Barry ,   Dublin, Ireland   (01.20.09)
...be swallowing Hamas lies, I think. It would be pointless for IDF to attack civilians anyway, a waste of bullets and bombs. It's easy for me to believe that many civilians were killed in Cast Lead, but this I think is because Hamas hides amongst civillians when it is fighting, and wears civilian clothes, and sometimes even captured IDF uniforms. This confusion, generated by Hamas, can, I imagine, cause IDF forces to attack civilians who IDF suspects may be disguised Hamas.
50. #40 Khaled. Hamas Victory
Arthur ,   Texas   (01.20.09)
Those Zombies, who you call, were hiding in bunkers while they let you die. You stupid imbecile, when are you retards going to get brains.
51. #40 Trust you?!
Talula ,   Israel   (01.20.09)
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!! I'd trust a nest of deadly vipers before I'd trust you.
52. Pullining out of Gaza without elimanting Hammas is victory
(01.20.09)
You never learn
53.  Who wrote the Koran?
Maria ,   MD   (01.20.09)
I read in a book that Muhammad could not even read nor write. I heard that there were some words in the Koran that they agreed with the Jews as the chosen people of the God of Israel,and some words were just plain violent.They copied our Bible or heard stories from our Bible, but Muhammad twisted the Word of God.Our OT has some wars and killings,etc.The Muslims need to revise their Koran,they should have New Koran, like our NT.That's why they're still following the old ways in the Old Koran.
54. Khalid #40
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.20.09)
The only targets Hamas fires at are civilians and you cry about your dead ? We know why Hamas is out today. It's time for their mothers and wives to bathe. I think the next time Israel enters Gaza you had better hide under your large wife as the rest of hamas did.
55. Hamas's so stupig that they can't tell victory from defeat
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (01.20.09)
56. Hamas is still here Hava Nagila !!
Hamahdal ,   here & there   (01.20.09)
to all of you from israel to washington after 22 days hamas is still here, in a piece of land (36 km by 14 km) *that* is the biggest B.S ever seen. Hava nagila ve nismecha
57. Hamas is still here wrote Hamahdal...thanks the UN chief
Maria ,   MD   (01.20.09)
because Israel can pulverize Gaza Strip in just one hour.Thank Al Jazeera news for showing the pictures of the Palestinians civilians who volunteered to die as martyrs.Clever you Arabs! The world is happy for you! Clever boys!
58. They finally came out of their holes - the rats
ronit   (01.20.09)
59. Israel Wins the Battles, Hamas Wins the War
Stephen Hughes ,   Soda Springs USA   (01.20.09)
Israeli Officials , “ We Have Taught the Hamas, a lesson, we have reduced rocket fire into our communities, “. Israel expended some billion dollars, in military and economic resources. The Hamas, a few million dollars , but now the Hamas instead of obtaining a 100 million dollars or so a year, Hamas will now receive several billion. Saudi Arabia has already pledged one billion. . Hamas will rebuild , rearm, and become more powerful than ever. Hamas with its state actors such as Iran , Syria and etc. has successfully inflamed an international global pandemic of distain and hatred for Israel , and Jewish People everywhere. Israel will not only have to endure more terrorists attacks, more rocket fire, but under International pressure be required to show even more restraint, endure more losses. As Rocket fire begins again, Hamas will say, It’s not us, its them, we are doing everything we can, Israel must show more restrain, etc. . sound familiar ?? If Israel had removed Hamas, it would have sent a clear message , to Iran, to Syria, to Hezbollah, and Global Terrorism. But now they only message Israel has sent is , “ Ever Again”
60. He Europe , don't give them money
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.20.09)
There is NO destruction , water and electricity is working as never before , hospitals have'nt any problems , they have only some wounded in traffic accidents . They won the war , it's Israel that is in ruins , thousands of Israelis killed . And if you don't believe this story , i'll find another one . Oh Yes , i remember one , the 6th or seventh June Nasser claimed also a big victory .
