Hamas Emerges From the Tunnels as Champions of Gaza!

Well, duh.

They’re not going anywhere.

The only way for Israel to “defeat Hamas” was for them to kill or expel everyone in Gaza.

Instead, the Jews have allegedly surrendered. It’s unlikely that is really what’s happening, but maybe!

As a ceasefire brought calm to Gaza’s ruined cities, Hamas was quick to emerge from hiding.

The militant group has not only survived 15 months of war with Israel — among the deadliest and most destructive in recent memory — but it remains firmly in control of the coastal territory that now resembles an apocalyptic wasteland. With a surge of humanitarian aid promised as part of the ceasefire deal, the Hamas-run government said Monday that it will coordinate distribution to the desperate people of Gaza.

For all the military might Israel deployed in Gaza, it failed to remove Hamas from power, one of its central war aims. That could make a return to fighting more likely, but the results might be the same.

It was the only war aim.

Well, the only stated war aim.

It was clearly stated as the basic “terms of victory.”

There was an element of theater in Sunday’s handover of three Israeli hostages to the Red Cross, when dozens of masked Hamas fighters wearing green headbands and military fatigues paraded in front of cameras and held back a crowd of hundreds who surrounded the vehicles.

The scenes elsewhere in Gaza were even more remarkable: Thousands of Hamas-run police in uniform re-emerged, making their presence known even in the most heavily destroyed areas.

“The police have been here the whole time, but they were not wearing their uniforms” to avoid being targeted by Israel, said Mohammed Abed, a father of three who returned to his home in Gaza City more than seven months after fleeing the area.

“They were among the displaced people in the tents. That’s why there were no thefts,” he said.

Other residents said the police had maintained offices in hospitals and other locations throughout the war, where people could report crimes.

Awesome.

Hamas is so cool.

Even if Trump is not going to be able to hold this together, the fact that he told Bibi: “look, Hamas isn’t going anywhere” is hilarious and awesome.
