Gaza conflict: Israeli PM Netanyahu says war was 'victory'!

Even the majority of Israelis didn't think it was a victory, for the wrong reasons....

They seem to be satisfied about the IDF killing operations in Gaza. And for what I understand, they wish he would have done more killings. Politically, Netanyahu lost popularity because he "negotiated" with Hamas.


From the Zionists themselves...
Poll: 59% say op. not a success, as Netanyahu's approval rating nose-dives further to a paltry 32%; majority oppose ceasefire.

The poll, which was conducted by Shiluv Millward Brown and iPanel for the Hebrew-language Channel 2 news site, found that a full 59% of Israelis felt Israel did not win in Operation Protective Edge. A paltry 29% said the operation was an Israeli victory.

A decisive majority of the public, 54%, opposed the ceasefire which Netanyahu unilaterally sealed with the terrorist organization Hamas, using a technically to avoid putting the deal up for a Security Cabinet vote. Only 37% supported the ceasefire.

Clearly the disappointment is not directed at the IDF, which 83% of the public said it was satisfied with - instead Israelis apparently are severely dissatisfied with the political echelon, and Netanyahu at its head.

Netanyahu's approval rating nose-dived to a mere 32% in the poll, with a full 59% saying they were not satisfied with him.

Those figures signify an even further plummeting in Netanyahu's ratings; a similar poll two days earlier found that only 38% of Israelis were satisfied with Netanyahu, as opposed to 55% four days prior to that point. At the start of the operation with the ground entry to Gaza, that figure was a whopping 82%.

Majority of Israelis Think Israel Didn't Win Gaza Operation

The sad irony in the aftermath of this conflict is that the terms of this ceasefire are exactly the same as the initial proposal put forth by Egypt when the conflict started several weeks ago, which Hamas flatly rejected many times.

It is sad isn't it. How Israel managed to violently extort the Palestinian people by murdering their children by the hundreds and saying it was Hamas' fault. Now Hamas must accept the terms or risk having more of the children they represent murdered.

I don't like or respect Hamas but I give them credit for being a bigger man than Israel. They backed off their demands to save more innocents from being murdered.

How many Palestinian parents are torn apart now from the loss of their children, how many Palestinian children are torn apart from the loss of their parents.

Israel won all right. Their investment into future conflicts that will award them more Palestinian land could be considered blue-chip since it is all but guaranteed.
