Hamas declares victory after Israel's Gaza withdrawal

Within hours of the Israeli army's predawn withdrawal from the Gaza Strip on Monday, Hamas was declaring victory in its latest round of armed conflict with the Jewish state.

To punctuate its point, more than a dozen rockets were launched during the day at nearby Israeli towns. The message: The two-day Israeli tank incursion that killed more than 60 Palestinians had failed to cripple the rocket-launching capability of Gaza's militants.

So, with dozens dead, no international backing other than from Iran, and no legitimacy to speak of, this is your idea of "victory"?

Hamas won't have it's "victory" until Israel is destroyed, and how many of you out there believe that's actually possible?  Israel is a nuclear power and if they believed for one moment that Iran posed such a threat to them that they would try to eradicate Israel, I have no doubt that Tehran would be sitting under a mushroom cloud.

What needs to stop, and for real peace to begin, is for the Palestinians to stop indoctrinating their children from an extremely early age, to hate Jews.  If that were the case, I doubt highly that there would still be conflict a generation away.
