The victory narrative that Hamas is trying to sell to the world isn’t even convincing their own people.

Dr. Az al-Din Shihab from Gaza writes:

“Since the early morning, my family and I have been living in a state of complete psychological collapse.
Today we learned that our homes, our land, and our entire neighborhood — every house belonging to our family and our neighbors — have been completely erased.
Destroyed. Turned into a lifeless expanse of yellow dust.

With the first rays of sunlight, we learned the full meaning of the word defeat.

We lost more than seventy members of our family. We lost our land.

We no longer have a home to return to, no walls to protect us, no place we can call our own.

And now one of Hamas’s leaders appears on television and declares that ‘the people have not been defeated,’ that ‘Gaza stood firm and fought a historic war.’

Let history record this:
I, Dr. Az al-Din Shihab from Gaza, together with my family, my friends, and their families, did not fight in any war.
We were the victims of the destruction that Hamas began from within our own homes — and then the Israeli army unleashed its full force upon us, while Hamas operatives vanished into their tunnels.

May HISTORY record the TRUTH:
we were defeated — utterly, painfully, and finally.
And we, the people of Gaza, are the ones who have the right to say whether we were defeated or not — not those who sit comfortably in Qatar or Turkey.

We were trampled, humiliated, and broken after our city was destroyed, conquered, and wiped off the face of the earth.

We were expelled, stripped of everything we built, left to wander among the ruins of our lives.

And somewhere amid all this, I understood something simple yet terrible:
My mother’s tears are holier than my homeland itself, and my father’s grief means more to me than any flag.
For what meaning does a homeland have if it devours those you love — if it glorifies death but forgets life?

We were not resilient. We were hostages in our own land.
We could not leave. We could not replace those who claimed to rule us.
We were caught between a merciless occupier and rulers who fed on our suffering.

And if there is one moment in my life when I must speak the truth — without fear, without hesitation — that moment is now.

Let it be written clearly:
We were not soldiers in this war.
We were the bodies buried beneath it.”

Uprightness100:
Very Good Question.
Below is the answer.
The photo below is what the IDF was doing in Gaza.

Gaza:
before vs. after Hamas decided to wage war against Israel.

So basically, you agree that instead of the IDF destroying Hamas tunnels and trying to rescue their prisoners, they were busy destroying the homes and infrastructure of innocent Palestinians?

Ukraine needs Patriots very badly. They’d like to have Tomahawks. We’ll see.

I might have to speak to Russia about that. Tomahawks are a new step of aggression.

If this war is not going to get settled, I’m going to send them Tomahawks.

It’s an incredible, very offensive weapon.

Michaeltreasure:
Thank you sir.

Please suggest how the Israeli IDF should face Hamas while leaving out innocent Palestinians in a place like Gaza. How do the Israeli armed forces take out Hamas fighters when they've blended well with the civilians, making it almost impossible identifying Hamas fighters?

I'll like to read your suggestions, sir...

Hamas blending into the civilian population is a weak excuse to kill civilians. 1.4% of Gaza residents are currently in Hamas. Compare that to 6% of Israeli citizens who are in the IDF and 40 - 45% who have served or will serve in the IDF at some point considering Israel has a compulsory conscription service. And yet, Hamas or anyone else have never used such claims to justify attacks on Israeli civilians.

As for defeating Hamas, I have addressed that two or three times. Hamas fighters spend most of their time underground. So the only way to defeat them is for Israeli soldiers to go underground into the tunnels. Israel has to send men with boots into the tunnels. Anything outside of that is just gimmicks.

⚡Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Israeli airstrikes targeting Syria:

To target the palace to convey a message — that’s not a message. That’s a declaration of war.

But Syria doesn’t want to engage in wars. It doesn’t want to be a threat to Israel or anyone else.
