Fair enough.
I was specifically thinking about the arab spokesman for Hamas-controlled Judea who kept saying Hamas defeated the IDF in the recent conflict.
Couldn’t rememeber his name.
Well, the exaggeration and hyperbole of the Arab peoples may very well stem from the flowery and ornate language of classical Arabic.
But, then again, the Iraqis beat back the American Invasion of Baghdad, Jenin was a virtual Stalingrad, Hizbollah repulsed the Israelis, and Hamas won a ‘moral’ victory.
When your standards are low, everything is a victory.
