That’s almost certainly the reason Hamas rejected the Egypt-proposed cease-fire agreement. So far it has accomplished practically nothing. A small band of serial killers on the West Bank managed to murder more Israelis a couple of weeks ago than Hamas can manage with its entire missile arsenal now.
It’s pathetic, really, and must be extraordinarily humiliating.
That’s not good for Israel. A lot harder to keep the US funding train going without a good pity-party.
I guess they’ll have to help create another terror group. Hamas is a dud.
I watched Global National News about this conflict. If you didn’t know otherwise, you’d think the script was written by Hamas.
Hamas’ supply agent, Iran, must be looking at the palestinians and thinking “yup, they really are the gypsies of the middle east”.
Perhaps the palestinians should start making their own movies too, instead of relying on Hollywood…

A commenter at Geller’s site notes that “BBC” translates in russian to “air force”. The point remains.
I think Barak Obama had Hamas to win in his Sports Select.
this is just a fund raiser by the HamASS’, strategy provided by obumbles’ team.

Ah yes, the conspiracy view of the universe.
You two are off your meds again, eh?
Apparently there are large numbers of $ million houses in Gaza. The Israelis should take out 10 random ones each day. It wouldn’t take long until the rich and powerful would come up with creative ways to have peace.
Golda Meir said: “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.” Sadly, tragically, the “religion of peace” is the most Orwellian construct of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Anything Islamists do is a losing game. Since when was causing the deaths of your people and destruction of your property a victory? It has only occurred to them to play the victim card in this. They’re still backwards.
During the British Mandate, after a terrorist attack the British army would select the largest house in the village where the perpetrator was from and destroy it. Their reasoning was that the village mukhtar or leader, who usually had the largest house, would have an incentive to control the village residents.
What doesn’t get much play in the media is that Hamas has also lost its “strategic depth”. That was based on support from Egypt and Iran. In the case of the former, the government has changed. In the case of the latter, Iran has become disaffected with Hamas.
Add to this a Syria preoccupied with regime survival and the rest of the Middle East focussed on events in Iraq and you have a very lonely situation for Hamas right now.
And of course, the Israelis know that too.
