Robert Fisk: Posturing and laughter as victims rot
Robert Fisk: Posturing and laughter as victims rot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Israelis may not yet appreciate how substantial was the Hamas victory but others in the world do. Here we have a poorly armed resistance movement which held out against the massive military might of its occupier.
Whether you agree or disagree with them, Hamas are heroes, not just to the Palestinians and Arabs but to the world in general. They stand alongside the Russians who defended Stalingrad against the German occupation army and the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto who defended their families with primitive arms against the massive military might of the Nazis.
Hamas continued to fire rockets, Hamas lost some of its resistance fighters but a comparative few, the tunnels were not destroyed. Israel achieved nothing. Except of course the one thing it did not expect.... a greater knowledge in the world at large of the brutality of its State sanctioned terror.
The Zionist state of Israel is now seen by more people for the rogue state that it is and more people now know that Gaza is a concentration camp and the Israelis are one of the (if not the) most brutal occupiers and colonisers in modern history.
