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. .....

No. We must inform Egypt and wait for them to follow up. Otherwise, we are in breach of the cease fire agreement.

Mashaal said. "Israel has failed in all its goals," he told reporters in a Cairo hotel.

Hmmm, seeing as how the violence was started by Hamas firing rockets and missiles into Israel, and Israel's one and only objective has been to stop the violence and protect it's citizens... I'd say a cease fire (if it holds, if it is respected by Hamas {snort}) represents 100% achievement of objectives by the IDF.

Now, would it be better to continue the operation, and stomp even more of the sub-human terrorists known as Hamas out of existence? Sure.

I did notice the green. But she’s so pretty, so clean and neat - so beautifully groomed - I overlooked the significance.

Need a photo. Is the green a light sickly green? I believe that the Greek word in the Bible, describing the Pale Horse, is Light Sickly Green, but the english translation is Pale.

O-bomb-a is now running the muslim brotherhood and directed his terrorist wing of murderous thugs, hamas, to attack Israel out of revenge for Bibi supporting Romney. Would it surprise you? How convenient, he now gets to play peacemaker too. Probably spiking the football as we speak.

There is no ‘negotiating’ with terrorists. Hamas is a terrorist organization as are the MuzBros. The can just got kicked down the road for a day or two by Obozo and LadyBenghazi.

Obama will use this to his own advantage. I pray Israel doesn't give up one iota of their land to appease the terrorists. Not one iota! Stay strong Israel and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

This is where everything may be headed under Obama:

Democrats support Hamas and the Palestinians. By keeping the greivance stocked, they can keep the gas prices high. This fits into their demonization of the oil companies. Create a big problem, blame someone else, reap the reward.

Further, since the Palestinians are a non-white minority, they cannot be allowed to look like they have no support or moral authority. Allowing that kind of failure could undermine the use of guilt and shame used against whites for extortion through taxes and the establishment of special rights and thus further electoral success.

Most Moslums hate Israel.

Go ahead and factor in all the Jews in the World.

They are still outnumbered hundreds to 1.

Israel has the advantage in nuclear weapons....TODAY. They need to use this advantage before the moslums nuke them. Its just a matter of time before a little Davy Crockett type gets into the hands of the Moslumbrohood.
