hashish dreams that fuel stupid minds. centuries of repression perverts the truth with lies that console and inspire the screwed masses. how else can you explain this tragedy inflicted by Hamas on Gaza.

If they call that a victory, I'd sure hate to see their defeat.

That's why Gaza is in ruins, your tunnels exposed and destroyed and your missile caches blown up. That's why Iron Dome laughs at your puny efforts to kill Israelis. Sure you did. You certainly did "overcome" Israel. Chuckle. 'course you did. You are a pathetic bunch, and we are going to pick you off, one by one by one thousand. Keep going. Keep beating your monkey chests. Over in Israel, we're laughing.

While this wasn't a total victory for Israel because they didn't eliminate Hamas or all of the rockets & tunnels from Egypt, they did destroy most of their offensive tunnels & many rockets. Hamas never expected a ground offensive which did a lot of damage to their tunnel infrastructure which they spent millions building. Bibi also has to be given credit for withstanding international pressure for as long as he did.

Without tunnels to infiltrate and terrorize Israelis destroyed and with rockets that are just knocked down Hamas is just a nuisance organization. They are just bluster and there is no need to overdo the concessions to them.

Hamas did not destroy Israel's deterrence, it was Obama. Hamas decided to commit a war crime by placing their military among civilians. International Law clearly states that Hamas is responsible for all dead. Obama, by supporting Hamas against Israel achieved two things: he declared that the Jew has no right to self-defense and he declared that using human shields is permissible and effective.

some earnest feelings for peace and acceptance of the Israeli existence.

There was only so much that Bibi could do practically because he has to deal with external political issues when making choices but Hamas are the undisputed rulers of Gaza so they don't have to worry about these things. Right now though the vast majority of tunnels destroyed, a large percentage of Hamas rockets used or destroyed, Hamas senior figures arrested or killed. Hamas have been hit hard and humiliated because thousands of rockets didn't briing the expected huge Israeli civilian casualties. They were expecting to be killing and kidnapping hundreds of soldiers but non of that happened this war has been an Israeli victory now Hamas are trying to put on a brave face with tough talk.

(and a couple hundred captured) as per senior military officials. i wish hamas many more such "successes"

This summer war was a disaster for Gaza. The people aren't dumb enough to continually fall for Hamas propaganda. I think they will look around their neighbourhoods and question their "victory" over Israel. Hamas leaders will be even more fearful to show their faces then when the IDF was patrolling.

As much as I hate to admit it, they are right. What has Israel accomplished? The rockets are still falling on Israel and thjey are widrawing. Have they lost their will to accomplish their mission? Over 60,soldiers lost for nothing. I consider this a total fiaSCO Israel desrves better.

I love the way this guy is still wearing a cover over his face to disguise his identity even though he states that he is not worried about the Israelis. I really wish these guys would listen to themselves sometimes.

Read above, on the Facebook section, the rafi's comment. This is a good one.

Noone stood up to fight. Hamas waitied inside tunnels for the IDF to get sucked into an ambush. Firing rockets from within civilian populations ? Is that what is standing up to fight ? Well you Hamas backers got a lot of Palestinian "canon fodder" stood up and killed.

I think pigs will be able to fly before that happens. Yearnings for peace just isn't in these people.

Wiley Coyote and Israel reminds me of the Road Runner. Beep Beep !

claim these great victories. Looking at the pictures of Gaza right now, the only victory is maybe the sympathy of do gooders and leftys who can see further than their noses. Yes a victory indeed, because the more deaths the better the outcome for Hamas, that is their mentality and the sooner Europeans get with the program the better. Remember 9/11, 7/7 and all the other terror attacks, their will be more until you all kneel to islam! IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT ???
