[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Hamas has shattered most of Israel’s stupid+self congratulatory myths. Israel has been tied in ridiculous knots by its response to Hamas, yet Hamas are a stronger fighting force than ever.

Better to ask yourself why Israel committed genocide while leaving Hamas intact. Sounds like a country with a death wish.[/quote]

Doesn't sound like anything substantive, especially when measured against the Gazan lives lost.  The "myths" can just as easily be Palestinian - the myth that they can ever defeat Israel, the myth that terror accomplishes anything useful, the myth that they want peace instead of to bring death to their neighbors and to self-immolate themselves in a perverse definition of "martyrdom".

As for Hamas being intact, their surrender of the hostages suggests otherwise.  They certainly are not giving up hostages because they have suddenly acquired consciences and have become civilized human beings, it is instead their desperate last-ditch effort to avoid complete annihilation by inducing the IDF to stop their relentless operations against them.  [/quote]

Zionist cope. When billions see your nasty ethnostate isn’t just built on ethnic cleansing and apartheid but will also go genocidal, things have changed.

Those of us with decades of experience with this issue can clearly see that Hamas made the Israelis act so badly that they created an even more focused opposition, one much broader and deeper than what came before.[/quote]
