As Hamas congratulated Palestinians on their "victory" from mosque loudspeakers on Sunday, shell-shocked residents surveyed the debris of the deadliest offensive ever launched by Israel on Gaza.


"We congratulate all the Palestinian people after the victory in the fight with the enemy," bellowed a voice from a Hamas mosque in central Gaza City.

Yahia Karin, a 54-year-old resident of city's southern neighbourhood of Zeitun, found little to cheer about -- his home was reduced to rubble during the 22-day Israeli offensive which killed at least 1,300 Palestinians.

"I came to see my home, but as you can see, there is no home here anymore," Karin said, pointing to the charred ruins of his residence.

Some of the heaviest clashes between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters occurred in his neighbourhood -- and the scars of war are everywhere to be seen.


If this is victory, then I'd hate to see their definition of defeat.
And surprise surprise, the "victory" anouncement came from a central mosque.
When will people wake up to these lowlife barbarians?

Grendel,

Exactly correct.




And the next time abu, or one of his brothers on this forum, insists on how good it was, in the distant past, for Jews and Christians to live under ISLAM's 'protection' [quoting ISLAMIC historical sources] just remember today again!!!, and how the aftermath of this conflict in Gaza will be recorded by muslims.

How muslims are already recording their history, how Hamas in 2009, won a great victory over the Zionists.





ISLAM so hates TRUTH.

The ISLAMISTS prolly can't wait for the day when they take over the world, and they can finally record the 'truth' of the history of 'Palestine'.

ISLAM's history would proudly declare how the muslim armies whooped the Jews arssxs back in 1948!!

The coming victory of ISLAM.

Dream about it abu.

LOL

Coz that is all it is.

Obviously Israel has been flip flopping almost daily in regards to its stated aims with this offensive, however, the fact is not one of these aims have been achieved.

The war did not stop rocket firing, did not end Hamas rule in Gaza and did not even succeed to free captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Hamas has been strengthened, and Abass and his impotent PA has lost credibility amongst Palestinians, and has in fact been weakened by this affair. 

So why don't you tell us once again, besides killing hundreds of civilians, including children (which I understand for some you, is something that the Israeli's can be proud of), what exactly has Israel achieved?

Hamas on the other hand has quite clearly won the propaganda war, and the world has seen Israel for the murderous zionist pigs they are.

The fact that Hamas was able to resist the 4th most powerful military in the world, ensuring that Israel did not achieve its stragic goals, is in itself a victory for Hamas.

Then again, I don't expect dimwits like you to understand, who see war like some sort of footy match, where the victors are the ones who killed more people.

lestat - hamas rule over rubble and a broken people.
Israel will attack again if rockets come over.
Israel drove in as far as they wanted and quashed hamas.

The response from every other country in the world was muted.
Noones interested in those who vote in terrorists.

I'll ask again, which of Israels stated goals, have they achieved?

If this has ended for the time being, then I suppose it will be expected that the infidels go in there and repair the damage or provide the funds to do so.

Do you realise that there are Palestinian Christians...or has your bigotry blinded you to this fact?

I have addressed the main issue the self defeating vanity of islamists.

As for Israel ... they achieved what they needed to achieve.: rocket attacks stopped, hamas leadership was exposed as child killers and punished accordingly by blowing them in bunkers where they hide, resupply of hamas with weapons get severely hampered by destruction of smuggling tunnels.

More then that ordinary palestinians started ask questions about sanity of their murderous hamas masters.
