It was a battle within a war. We all know its not the last one, maybe the another 30-40 more or so?
So it's the whole war when it comes to Israel but only a 'battle' when it comes to hamas?

Again, did Hamas or the Palestinian people win this? there is more anger at Israel right now but how does that help the people in Gaza?

It's Hamas who said that. Thankfully a few Hamas people were either too moral or too incompetent to do it every time.

And no, kidnapping a woman and her toddlers is exactly the reason the war kicked off.
yes I know of course Hamas said that to deter Israeli rescue attempts jeez. What do you expect them to say? "if you try to rescue them, please let us know so we can have tea and crumpets prepared"?😂🤷‍♂️ So you are saying if the only killed the IDF soldiers, took a few hostage, and only took able bodied men and women hostage the Israeli govt would say "Nicely played, lets discuss the terms of exchange"?? I guess you don't agree that all those horrific acts I mentioned is wrong to do to toddlers. I guess you won't be father of the year.👌

It's a ceasefire, not and end to the war. In a few days, the Israelis will start killing people again.
I agree that is most likely. Israel will conduct some provocation. Hamas will respond and off we go. It depends of who was lying. I think an early end to the ceasefire will make Trump look weak and not in control. I don't think he likes that and esp so early in his presidency, The Trump clan is a business clan, and the Arabs and Chiense have vastly more business potential then the Israelis Espeicially now they have turned their nation into an uninvestable mess. So its not without hope but faint hope. Maybe the Saudis offered some opportunities in Neom if they make Gaza merely bad again.

Who doesn't have more business potential than a tiny little rogue state? Imagine all the business the US could get throughout the world, if they didn't have the Israeli weight around their neck.

In fact Hamas inflicted some very significant losses on the IDF and the put the Palestnian issue on the world map. As of today Israels repuatation is in tatters, it looks vulnerable, economy badly damaged, global boycott and leaders charged by the ICC. I think thats definitely a win.
What reputation do you think Hamas has established amongst reasonable, powerful and influential nations of the world? I'll tell you - amoral terrorists who are not to be trusted and who will turn to violence when their unconvincing arguments about establishing a nation are not accepted by the world. They have the ear of Iran, a rogue state, but do not have the support of any nation who could actually help them achieve any of their goals. That result is even worse than the military devastation suffered by them in the war. Hamas lost this war in every way possible.

I suppose that's the way a pest control company views an infestation of cockroaches. However, it wouldn't be how a responsible pubic health agency views the same problem.

Just shows to go that you and Israel support arresting children.

This is what zionism means to the world now

So now you speak for the world 😂
Palestinians brought it on themselves. Hamas will rather kill their own civilians than to give up the hostages. But civilians actually support Hamas, so lets stop the whining.

Hamas inflicted 1200 deaths on Israel and x50 on Palestinians....the only issue they put on the world map is that they won't hesitate to put Palestinian Lives at risk to kill a few jews...

I suppose that's the way a zionist views all gentiles. However, it wouldn't be how an egalitarian views the same people.
