       Hamas has declared victory in the latest Gaza fight.  If one defines victory as defeating the enemy, clearly Hamas was not victorious.  But if one defines victory in a more relative way, such as surviving the punishing Zionist onslaught, then Hamas has a point.  Like Hezbollah in 2006, Hamas was able to survive an attack by a far better equipped and trained enemy, one that has the latest technology at their disposal and money to burn.  But Hamas did survive, and apparently still remains in control in Gaza.

       That would mean that the Israelis’ supposed goal of putting Hamas out of business was not achieved.  Their other goal of killing as many people as they could, fighters or civilians, was achieved.  The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, including children, ground on, day after day, under the IDF.  That’s what they do best.

       And now it looks like all those civilians were killed in vain.  Great swaths of the small territory were destoyred, some Hamas leaders and  fighters were killed, but at the end of the day, the Zionists’ goal of overthrowing Hamas was not achieved. And the Israelis’ got a black eye due to their attacks on civilians.  It’s failure all over again, just as it was in 2006 against Hezbollah.  The superior technology of the IDF will always win the battle, but it cannot win the war against the people it displaced over 60 years ago.  They aren’t going anywhere, much to the Zionists’ regret.  Resistance will continue as long as there is a usurping Zionist power to fight against.
