Hamas declared victory and bursts of celebratory gunfire erupted across Gaza, but the terms of the deal fell far short of Hamas' demand that Israel and Egypt open Gaza's borders.

Under the Egyptian-brokered deal, Israel is to ease imports into Gaza, including aid and material for reconstruction. It also allows Palestinians to fish six nautical miles offshore, up from three nautical miles.

And that ain’t airsoft either. Only one parent bothered to drop the mag before handing their pistol to their toddler to wave around.

Hamas: “We can’t fight God AND Israel.”

Netanyahu treats Hamas like Lyndon Johnson treated the Vietcong.

This is a Vietnam style war playing out before us with Israel fully capable to defeating Hamas in battle, but
unwilling to pursue their advantage to victory on the battlefield.
