[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching the video of those young Israeli hostages being handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza is interesting. Those young women are surrounded by a sea of jubilant Hamas militants all in green headbands and masks. Clearly, the IDF has a lot more work to do. Hamas isn't even close to being eliminated. Until Palestinians depose these extremists, I don't see how this war ever ends. [/quote]

Hamas is masterful at media manipulation, which is why you never saw any imagery of deceased Hamas combatants in Gaza, only women and children.  Hamas is only releasing hostages under the pressure of their losses, their staging of events like this notwithstanding.  If they were not on the verge of complete annihilation, the hostages would not be released.  As it is, 47K or so Palestinians are deceased, and Hamas gained no new territory, no new privileges, no separate country, and no respect.  [/quote]

That’s not the standard.[/quote]

So what has Hamas accomplished?  An opportunity for some new apartment buildings to be paid for with foreign aid?  The creation of new parking lots in Gaza?  An improvement is the business prospects for Gazan undertakers?  [/quote]
