So who won? Obviously on a certain level its too early to tell but we dont need to wait for historys judgement. More like than not well know in a lot less than six months. Well certainly be able to pronounce judgement this time next year. Being a long way away as its advantages from this vantage point I can the majority of Israeli commentators contending its a draw. Thats certainly observation of media commentator and analyst Dvorit Shargal in the velvet underground [Details and quotes velvetunderground.co.il/?p=61086]. That view is even getting a run in Israel Hayom [digital-edition.israelhayom.co.il/Olive/ODE/Israel/Default.aspx?href=ITD%2F2014%2F08%2F27&pageno=9&entity=Ar00902&view=entity]. Those who claim victory like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו do it half heartedly, repeating the same talking points from the campaign, almost word for word. Netanyahu has to contend with Government ministers like Uzi Landau saying that Hamas won- their victory pictures are authentic. On the Palestinian side victory claims tend to predominate. [Not quite sure how critical has Khaled Meshal position really is, happy to enlightened.] So posting two of the best summaries Ive seen so far. Samer Badawi and Samah Sabawi come to very simialr conclusions. It would be fair to say that Samers approach is more from the real politic point of view so he gets top billing. (Samahs article is in first comment). 972mag/did-gaza-win-the-war/96085/
