Hamas Declares Victory, Gaza Celebrates
Arutz Sheva ^ | 21/11/12 | Gil Ronen

Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal announced in a press conference Wednesday evening that Israel "has failed in all its goals" in Operation Defensive Pillar, following the cease fire announcement.

"After eight days, God stayed their hand from the people of Gaza, and they were compelled to submit to the conditions of the resistance," Mashaal said. "Israel has failed in all its goals," he told reporters in a Cairo hotel.

Mashaal also thanked ceasefire mediator Egypt, as well as Iran, which he said "had a role in arming" Hamas during the conflict.

Arabs in Gaza took to the streets to celebrate the start of the truce deal, firing into the air and chanting victory slogans, AFP reported.

The celebrations began shortly after the 9:00 p.m. deadline for the ceasefire to begin, agreed in a deal between Israel and Hamas that was announced in Egypt.

Heavy celebratory gunfire could be heard throughout Gaza, and residents also released fireworks into the night sky, where Israeli drones could still be buzzing heard overhead. .....

I am only quoting an officially claimed repository of information on Jewish stats.

The number that south40 claimed, of 810 mil Jews worldwide, is wildly at variance with what I found when searching.

The suspect number is the 810 million. south40 used this number in posts to argue that the ratio of worldwide muslims to worldwide jews was not that much of an imbalance between the two populations.

If you think the 13.5 is too small or doesn’t reflect all jews, just observant ones, then you can look it up and see what you find. Just remember while you’re at it that the suspect number is the claimed 810 million from south40.

Even Germany had 6 million Jews to kill. A little over twice that is the world population now? I don’t think so!

Doesn’t Hamas celebrate by lobbing missiles into Israel?

Well, Wikipedia thinks so for whatever it's worth. Half in modern Israel, most of the other half in the USA, with honorable mentions to a handful of other countries.

It sure makes little sense when thinking that WWII Germany had 6 million of them to kill, and if memory serves, that was supposedly a quarter of the world's population of them at that time.

Like I said, the claim was made there are 810 mil jews worldwide. I searched online and found the officially-designated estimate from a university chair that is dedicated to that purpose, and I posted it.

The suspect number is the wild and undocumented claim of 810 million, not my information.

Get on that poster’s case about the 810 mil undocumented claim, then get back to me, or bug off.

Got far better things to do this TG than waste my time.

This broader number could reflect descendants of mixed marriages, part-Jews whether or not modern Orthodox Judaism would tag them as Jews by descent. The rule there is matrilineal, whose chances of happening at random fall exponentially with the number of generations involved.

OK, they agreed with you, so glad to see you’re disclaiming that :-)

Only, before I go on to better things, your reasoning is ridiculous.

Hitler and friends did kill the 6 million. That made a real dent in the population, yes, for some strange reason, it really did.

But you using that to reason forward from there that that proves anything now, just blandly avoids the fact that 6 million are missing from that genocide.

What a waste of brain cells.

And a beautiful Thanksgiving Day.

The Holocaust was a dent. Not anywhere near the worldwide extermination that the mad Hitler dreamed of.

Most of the world got friendlier to Jews after that point. And people do what people do... they go forth and multiply.

Militating against the explosion of Jews that would have ensued is the tendency of modern Jews to not care about keeping their families Jewish.

Nobody’s chaining you to your chair. Go have some cranberry sauce or something.

Ah. So I see the check that Hillary handed to The Muslim Brotherhood cleared the bank.

Not only are these people evil, sick and twisted; but they are also completely delusional.
Pray for peace, real peace.


Works for me. The Bible indicates that there won't be real peace until Christ's return. I'm ready for that.

In his call with Netanyahu, Obama said he would seek more money for a defense system known as Iron Dome that has protected Israel from rocket attacks, the White House said.

Well, Naturally, and with the Israelis taking out forever somewhere north of 1500 serious targets in the Gaza, Hamas gets to be like the old boxer who claimed he won by hitting the other guy’s hand with his own face. In this case it’s more like Hamas using its own sphincter to hammer away at those Israeli F-16’s-—there’s gotta be an Arab word for that kind of beating? Those street celebrations are in what used to be streets.

2.2 billion moslums
maybe 22 million jews.
2 billion moslums hate jews.

The battle is not just between the Gaza Strip and Israel. It between Islam and Israel.

Keep dancing you muslim jackasses!

Your so-called victory was as a result of frau Ilsa Klinton dragging her fat derrier across the stage of world diplomacy. This ‘smartest woman in the world’ is one joke. When you see this hag walking across to stand like a robot in front of a mike you think, “There goes daddy’s little man.”
