Great Hamas Victory
They only got half the crap pounded out of them. Ha’aretz:Â Â
The Israel Defense Forces pulled its ground troops out of the Gaza Strip early Monday, and Hamas seized the pullout to declare “victory” in the intensive fighting that has killed more than 100 people in recent days.
The pullback followed days of sequential fighting that drew an appeal from Washington to end violence and rescue peace talks with the Palestinians.
…Â
“The enemy has been defeated,” a Hamas spokesman said. Israel Radio broadcast a news bulletin from Hamas radio, in which the group said the IDF had failed in itsd efforts to curb Palestinian rocket fire against Negev towns.
Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said: “Gaza will always be a graveyard for the occupation forces.”
You go with that. I’d love to hear from the Palestinian on the street, to see if he thinks Hamas has defeated the Zionists. However, it looks more like a graveyard for the terrorists now occupying Gaza.Â
Medics and Hamas have said about half of those killed in recent days have been civilians, including women and children, but IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi said that of the 100 fatalities, 90 were armed militants.

How many more casualties and damage must the Israelis endure before America and the rest of the world continues to ignore the facts of reality and stops them every time they defend themselves? Never mind. It’s a rhetorical question. Tolerance for Palestinian perfidy seems never-ending.

“Never mind. It’s a rhetorical question.”
A confusing rhetorical question, to be sure.
