Don’t stop fighting til the fight is done
Victory begins to take shape — meaning now is no time to be letting up:
What is clear is that Hamas is now desperate for a lull in the fighting. But it is also eager to score some kind of a “military victory” before a cease-fire is reached.
Hamas can’t accept a new cease-fire without having proved to the Arab and Muslim masses that it was capable of making Israel pay a heavy price for its military offensive.
Hamas is fighting for its survival and its leaders know that their collapse would constitute a severe blow not only to the movement, but also to its patrons in Teheran and Damascus.
“It’s hard to tell who’s in charge in the Gaza Strip these days,” said a Ramallah-based analyst. “Hamas’s political leaders have disappeared after throwing away their mobile phones. No one knows exactly what Hamas wants.”
“The political leaderships of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Damascus have been disconnected from each other,” he added. “I doubt if there’s any coordination between them.”
He pointed out that the decision to dispatch two senior Hamas envoys to Cairo for talks about a cease-fire came as a surprise to the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip. The two envoys are based in Damascus and report directly to Khaled Mashaal, he said.
Proving yet again that when it comes to Muslim terrorism, all are one, and the “Axis of Evil” phrase is maybe the most astute and accurate one Bush ever uttered, all disingenuous blather from faux-pacifist terrorist-symps aside.
Update! JWF sums up:
These chicken-shit terrorists are still hiding behind children and killing members of Fatah. They can’t hold up against the IDF and except for the rockets, all they have left is a sympathetic media. Thankfully the Israelis are largely ignoring the media propaganda and getting the job done.
Well, actually, that’s incomplete: all they have left is a sympathetic media — and most of Europe, and all of the Western Left. But still. It’s the same old list of enemies it always was, and I think he can be forgiven for not bothering to mention all of them each and every time.
