It's good that the troops stay. Should rocket fire resume, the operation will also resume.

And if you ask "what has been ahieved", then I can tell you a lot of the Hamas brass has been wiped out. They'll act a lot more unorganized now. Plus, they'll think thrice before trying to smuggle any weapons again.

 

u really shoud listen to what the Israeli govermnet were saying when they first started my friend.

"we will not stop untill the firing stops" or "Hammas is not going to be able to fire rockets when we are done here"

"this is gonna be a very short war"

so yeah , nothing has been achieved

troops are there > the war is still going and the short war mission failed

22 days and hammas is still firing rockets >  failed

 

 

Notice that the Hamas's rocket fire is weakening by the day. Ammo must be running out... count that in as objective achieved. I have a chart somewhere, ask me if you wanna see it.

As long as the troops stationed aren't fighting, there can't be war. I'd call the situation now a "semi-war".

Also, don't tell me you'd prefer it to continue.

 

 

goals were clear, and they are not achieved.

hammas running out of ammo is an achievement?

I don't know about the chart u r talking about but till the 15th day of this war the rocket firing has increased , didn't follow the number of rockets any further so u may inform me plz =)

red bolded part: no no no, this is good for the palestinian people there although taragdies and disasters won't go away any time soon.

all I'm saying is: 1- Israel has not achieved their goals.

                          2- Islamic world is pissed and funding for hammas and such groups will increase.

                          3- many civilians died , many injuried badly.

so nothing good came out of this war for Israel and the palestinian people, the same can't be said about hammas.

I believe that there always be groups like Hammas and Hezb Allah , groups that Israel will have to deal with so Israel and America have to reconsider the way they solve problems because the killing of innocent people never did solve them.
