Hamas declares ‘victory’ in Gaza
In total, 110 Palestinians were killed in the IDF raid, the vast majority of them gunmen – according to the Israeli army. Hamas and the other Palestinian organizations, however, declared a “victory” in Gaza. “The enemy has been defeated,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/1,7340,L-3514042,00.html

Palestinian self-destruction
The situation of the Palestinians is a gruesome tragedy. But insofar as post-occupation Gaza is concerned, it is entirely self-inflicted. When Hamas, or whoever else takes over Gaza in coming years, decides to stop using the Palestinian people as one collective suicide bomber, they will find a willing peace partner in Israel. Until then, the Palestinian blood that flows won’t stain Israeli hands. http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/story.html?id=348429
The Price of Israel-Bashing
Meanwhile at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said: “It needs to be kept in mind that the state of Israel is defending its civilians in the south. Nobody has the right to preach morals to Israel for taking basic measures to defend itself and prevent hundreds of thousands of residents of the south from continuing to be exposed to incessant attacks that disrupt their lives…. It should be made clear that Israel has no intention to stop fighting even for one moment.”

Alan M. Dershowitz: Worshippers of Death
“We are going to win, because they love life and we love death,” said Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah. He has also said: “[E]ach of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah.” Shortly after 9/11, Osama bin Laden told a reporter: “We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the big difference between us.” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120450617910806563.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries
