A well known Pro-Zionist Russian language paper published in the U.S., which the Zionist lobby controls, said in an article that appeared on page 7 entitled, Is this a victory?!, from which we quoted the following excerpts, but the paper was withdrawn from circulation due to this article:

· If we went to Gaza to bring back Shalit….

We returned without him!!!

· If we went to Gaza to stop rockets…

We increased their range and threat up till the last day in the war!!!

· If we went to Gaza to finish Hamas…

We had increased its popularity and gave it legitimacy!!!

· If we went to Gaza to occupy it…

We were reminded that our elite force could not go deep into it!!!

· If went to Gaza to prove that we have the upper hand…

War didn’t end up till the resistance decided to do so and not us!!!

· If we went to Gaza for a show of power…

We could have had a parade in Tel Aviv!!!

· If we went to Gaza to assassinate Hamas leasers…

We had killed two out of five hundred of the movement’s leaders!!!

· If we went to Gaza to gain international support…

The result was international public opinion turned against us including those who were our strong supporters!!!

· If we went to gaza so that our soldiers will regain their self confidence…

We had increased their cowardice as well as increasing the resistance men self confidence!!!

· If we went to Gaza to reinforce our power of deterrence…

It was proved that we cannot master the use of the arms in our hands in the battlefield as proved in 2006 + 2008/9, and we didn’t deter neither Hamas nor Hezbollah… Also their threats and pride were increased, and God knows what is next after the spread of the resistance culture among the people of the region, and their ability to stand in our face, noting that we should not forget that our confrontations during the war we didn’t hear from Hamas a request of cease fire up till we called for it; so let me ask “who deterred whom?” There are now 800,000 “Israelis”, who are the inhabitants of the south who if you just mention Hamas in front of them would shiver and go to shelters… Who deterred whom???

The writer added re the aims and results we reached by saying:

This war coasted the Zionist entity billions, which is the price of the advertising campaigns over 40 years for improving the image of Jews in the world, but these figures do not cover the cost of the 23 days war when the Israeli Occupation Forces destroyed of these campaigns. It also doesn’t cover human loses that we suffered (the military on the front and civilians in the interior) concerning which the writer described as: “Our human losses during the war on Gaza which, I know, Olmert and Barak Know too, but all are not allowed to declare).

The writer concluded by saying: “We had enough of lying… we lost”
