| [Iran Press TV] Gazooks celebrate victory after seven weeks of resistance against the Israeli offensive against the Paleostinians of the coastal enclave. On Tuesday, Paleostinian groups and Egyptian mediators confirmed that the Cairo-based talks ended in truce. Paleostinians poured into the streets of the war-torn sliver to celebrate as the Egyptian-brokered truce took effect at 1600 GMT. People and traffic filled the streets with drivers honking horns and crowds chanting slogans. The truce stipulates the removal of Israeli blockade as well as the provision of a guarantee that Paleostinian demands will be met. Crossings between Israel and Gazoo will open and the two sides will continue holding indirect talks, according to the deal. The Paleostinian territory's fishing zone will also be widened in the Mediterranean. The Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, said the deal marks a victory for Paleostinians and called for mass rallies in the occupied West Bank. "Today we declare the victory of the resistance, today we declare the victory of Gazoo," Hamas front man Sami Abu Zuhri ...a senior spokesman for Hamas. Zuhri gained notoriety in 2006 when he dropped his money belt containing somewhere between 640,000 and 900,000 euros, which was confiscated by Paleostinian security and customs officials at a routine border crossing from Egypt to Gaza. The news brought competing Hamas and Fatah forces to the crossing checkpoint for an epic face-making and hollering contest... said. Israeli warplanes and tanks started pounding the blockaded enclave in early July, inflicting heavy losses on the Paleostinian land. Some 2,139 Paleostinians, mostly civilians, including women, children and the elderly, were killed in 50 days of the Israeli onslaught on Gazoo. Around 11,000 others were maimed. Tel Aviv says 69 Israelis have been killed in the conflict, but Hamas puts the number at more than 150. |

| #3 I suppose getting to the end of having the IDF "redecorate" your neighborhood is worth a celebration. And it's a victory if you're still alive at the end. Euphemisms are big in the Arab world. |

| #1 Victory? Some of them are still alive? I guess they might feel that was some sort of "victory". I would call it luck. Better luck next time, Chump. |
