Do you consider them winners in the way many Arabs considered Nassar to be a winner even after his hilarious and darkly comedic loss in the 6 days war?
I am arab (and Egyptian) and I have spoken (even argued) to hundreds of arabs, especially about Naser (i'm no fan of his)...yet I have never heard any consider Nasser to be a winner.
Yes he is admired for nationalizing the Suez Canel..but no one, ever claims he 'won' the 6 day war, or described him as a winner.
Do you have anything to back up this claim...or are you just lieing for the sake of the argument.
Oh..and I'll ask you aswell...can you name one stated aim which the Israeli's actually achieved from this operation? One military or political objective which the Israeli stated they wanted to achieve, and actually achieved from this. Just one.
Its amazing...you are all so adamant that Israel won this war, and won comfortably (like I said...seems people can't look past the death tallies, like its some sort of morbid scoreboard..sorry dimwits, it doesn't work that way)..yet 6 pages on, not one of you have been able to find just one of Israel's stated goals (their were numerous reports in the media, where Israeli leaders were stating what they wanted to achieve...I'm sure you read them) which has been achieved by Israel. Not one.
I bet you also at the time believed that Israel defeated Hezbollah last year....yet one year on it is now accepted that Israel in fact lost. Even the Israeli's over whelmingly believed that they lost the Lebennon war, as numerous surveys found, and Olmerts popularity plummetted after the debacle.
Yes...even in Lebennon they killed far more people then Hezbollah did (I'll give you that, the IDF are good at killing), yet anyone with even a basic understanding of war can now see that Israel did not achieve its military aims in Lebennon. It was hurt both politically and diplomatically...and the air of supremecy of its military was lost when a poorly armed guerilla group held of the 4th most powerful military in the world.
THis Gaza crisis is very similar, despite all the damage, all the deaths, fact is that Israel has achieved very little from this operation..this fact in itself is a victory for Hamas.
And to be honest...it does not suprise me one bit that you people cannot see this. Its what I have come to expect. A simple outlook for simple people (sorry Helian...though this post is aimed at you...I don't actually lump you with the other losers....I respect your posts a little more...not a lot mind you, but a little.

).

Hamas do not have welfare of the Palestinian people and nation at heart, they simply crave war all the time. Eternal violent Jihad. They will cease on Palestinian land only when there is none left to fight on. But then they'll have won in their minds - They will have an entire displaced people to abuse as murderer/suicide cases in the cause of Islamism.
This is once again a complete load of nonsense and a quick look at the facts and your claims can quite easily be discredited.
Fact is Hamas was voted in by the Palestinians....on the back of its humanitarian work. Whilst the corrupt PA were banking millions of dollars, it was Hamas which set up social networks, charities, and in general looked after the general populace. If Hamas were such monsters as you claim...then why would the Palestinians vote for them. Like really...be honest...you must think very lowly of the Palestinians if you truly believe Hamas is as you have described.
You have absolutely no evidence to support your claim...Hamas has the popular support in Gaza from the average people...and are far more popular in Gaza then the PA. And here you are..claiming that "do not have welfare of the Palestinian people and nation at heart". What garbage.
What you seem to fail to comprehend, is that Hamas are Palestinians. Brothers, sisters, mothers, sons of Hamas members are the very same people that you are basically saying they dont care about.
Do you seriously believe this garbage...Have you even ever spoken to a Palestinian. Do you know any.
Really...instead of parroting the same old propaganda and zionist lies...how bout you actually think about what you are saying...and ask yourself this, how does such an organisation...who, if as you claim "Hamas do not have welfare of the Palestinian people and nation at heart, they simply crave war all the time"...how does this organisation get voted in free and fair elections.
What are you saying...that you no the situation better then the Palestinians themselves. Is that what you believe....if you do...its quite arrogant to do so.
Palestinians voted Hamas for a reason...I suggest you start doing some reading and finding out why...before sprouting the same old tired zionist propaganda.
