In a bizarre way hamas are winners because they reached their goal of having over 1000 palestinians dead though I personally consider it a lost for palestinian people.

I have stated Israeli goals twice, first time in another thread about week ago and can repeat them again third time now:
Two main demands Israeli put forward as condition of ceasefire were:
1 hamas stops rocket shelling of Israel
2 hamas does not rearm
Both conditions were reached

Now I ask again the question that muslims are reluctant to answer:
When hamas will try for another victory of this sort?

This question is in bold and large font so nobody can miss it  Wink


Tallow, a great victory over Israel such as this one requires months, even years of careful planning. They need to lull Israel into a false sense of security so that they again send the Israeli army to it's doom at the hands of Hamas. Plus, it would be unfair for them to attack Israel again while they have been crippled. They need to give Israel time to lick it's wounds and recover. Hamas does not march to anyone else's tune. They will again be victorious over Israel at the time that suits them. God willing.

hahahah, figure this for a classic bit of islamic mentally ill statement.



Quote:
HAMAS'S armed wing said today it lost only 48 fighters during Israel's 22-day operation in Gaza and vowed to fight on unless the Jewish state withdrew its forces from the Palestinian enclave.

"We announce to our people the martyrdom of 48 Qassam fighters,'' Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, said in a televised press conference.

Israel reported killing more than 500 Hamas members during Operation Cast Lead which it launched on Gaza on December 27 and ended on Sunday with a ceasefire.

Gaza medics said a total of more than 1300 Palestinians have died.

Abu Obeida also claimed that Israel lost "at least 80 soldiers'' in the fighting. The Jewish state listed 10 soldiers killed.

The spokesman repeated the "victory'' cry declared by Hamas leaders on Sunday as the guns fell silent and underlined that Hamas' own ceasefire would only last a week unless Israel fully withdrew troops from Gaza.
"We have given the Zionist enemy one week to pull out of the Gaza Strip, failing which we will pursue the resistance.'' .....

Generous of them to give the Israelis a whole week to retreat....

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. Wink).

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.

Israel fails to win in Gaza
Aaron Klein says Jewish state didn't achieve its objectives

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted: January 19, 2009

By Aaron Klein
© 2009 WorldNetDaily


JERUSALEM – Wars are won or lost based on which side achieves its goals. In the case of Israel's three-week offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Jewish state made many impressive gains but largely failed to achieve its major objectives.

At the beginning of the conflict, [B]Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced two main goals for waging war on Hamas – to decisively smash the terrorist group's ability to attack Israel; and to stop Hamas' rocket attacks from Gaza aimed at nearby Jewish communities. Neither goal was met.


Olmert later announced a third goal – to change the situation on the ground so that Hamas will not be able to continue smuggling weapons into Gaza from neighboring Egypt. This goal is on the road to failure.

With regard to denting Hamas' capabilities, during the past 23 days, Israeli air strikes targeted both symbolic Hamas institutions, such as government buildings, and the group's military infrastructure, including rocket caches, police stations, explosives factories, and about 200 of an estimated 600 smuggling tunnels between Gaza and neighboring Egypt. Although the IDF will not confirm the percentage of Hamas' military infrastructure wiped out, defense sources said Hamas lost about 30 percent of its rockets and a sizable portion of its explosives development program.

But the sources said Hamas' estimated 6,000-man force trained in Hezbollah-like guerrilla tactics is still largely in place along with the majority of the group's underground bunkers. In addition, 60 percent of its rocket arsenal and most of its weapons caches are well-stored. Crucially, many components of Hamas' military wing are stored underground and remain safely tucked away.

The IDF only launched two portions of a planned, three-stage assault on Gaza. The first stage was Israel's continuing aerial bombardment of Hamas targets, which the terror group admits dented its government infrastructure and which Israeli sources said resulted in some damage to the group's military capabilities. The second stage began about two weeks ago, with some ground troops entering Gaza, taking up peripheral positions in central and northern Gaza and mounting some small offensives and special operations within Gaza City and select northern Gaza camps.

But defense sources say to deal a decisive blow to Hamas' ability to attack Israel, the IDF must embark on an extensive, large-scale ground operation that would clean out central and northern Gaza of Hamas' intact military wing. Now that a cease-fire has been announced, it seems Israel will not continue its offensive – meaning Hamas' military infrastructure is largely still intact.

Still, Israel destroyed so many Hamas buildings (the Israel Air Force almost ran out of targets), the group's ability to govern on the ground has been badly damaged, since it doesn't have many government compounds from which to rule. Hamas' government infrastructure, including office buildings, police headquarters, even financial institutions, was badly damaged. Hamas will find it difficult to immediately assume the kind of authority it boasted in Gaza starting in 2007, when Hamas seized control of the territory from the U.S.-backed Fatah party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Israel also scared into hiding some Hamas leaders with its eliminations of top Hamas members, including Siad Siam, the chief of Hamas' executive force, a Hezbollah-like guerrilla militia heavily involved in terrorism. But Hamas leaders are quite used to living under assassination threat. When the IDF fully withdraws, Hamas' military wing chiefs will come out from their shells. Some already have.

Olmert's stated goal of destroying Hamas' ability to rocket Israel fell short. This is obvious since Hamas fired an average of 33 rockets per day every day during the entire conflict, and reportedly shot at least 20 rockets and eight mortars since making its cease-fire declaration yesterday.


Hamas' rocket arsenal is depleted by about half, and many of its rocket factories were taken out by the IDF. Crucial to bleeding Hamas dry is for Israel to find a way to halt the rampant weapons smuggling from Egypt to Gaza. Indeed, this was one of Olmert's stated goals. But it will not be achieved.

Israel is negotiating an international monitoring mechanism it hopes will stop Hamas from smuggling weapons from neighboring Egypt into Gaza. But previous international monitors stationed along the Egypt-Gaza border fled their duty and repeatedly failed to stem Hamas' weapons smuggling. The monitors were stationed at the border following Israel's 2005 evacuation of the Gaza Strip.

Even if a beefed-up international force is established inside Gaza – and this is not the plan – it is not clear whether such a force would do its job. Currently, a 13,000-strong UNIFIL force in southern Lebanon has done little as the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia has rearmed in the area, many times in full view of the international troops, according to Israeli defense officials.

(Continued)...

Meanwhile, Olmert today made some farcical claims, telling the Israeli media Hamas would find it difficult to continue smuggling weapons into Gaza and that the IDF controlled the northern Gaza Strip – the area from which most rockets are launched into the Jewish state. On the ground, the IDF does not control the entire northern Gaza, as clearly evidenced by Hamas' continued ability to fire rockets from that zone.

Hamas of course has declared "victory," which is overstating things. Hamas' "victory" was by default since its only goal was to survive the IDF beating. It achieved this not due to its might but because the IDF will not be launching the third stage of its attack, which would have devastated Hamas.

One real Hamas victory, though, is the international legitimacy the group received during the past few weeks. According to WND's Hamas sources, the group was in direct contact with Italy, France, the EU and U.N. representatives, many of whom, the sources said, expressed willingness to bring Hamas into the fold and out from isolation.

In the outcome of this war, a clear winner or loser cannot be determined. Both sides gained and lost. But if we are to judge based on which side achieved its objectives, Israel clearly did not win.

Hamas for now will probably scale back its rocket attacks against Israel, since it's in the group's best interests not to provoke any further IDF operations. But when the time is right and when its arsenal has been replenished, Hamas will resume its war to destroy the Jewish state.

This is an article written by a Jew, I suggest you dimwits read what he says, and pay attention to the bold bits.

I highly doubt it, but you might even learn something about war strategies, and international politics and diplomacy.

I've tried, but I admit, with your level of ignorance, you probably need a team of international experts giving you 24 hour round the clock education, and even then...they would be up against it.

Hate and ignorance are a major impediment to education, and unfortunately for you...you have an abundance of both.

Did you read the article? Did you learn anything? No...see what I mean. Smiley
