that palestinian islamicjihad strikes that we ought not to forget about is not the casualty rates orffect psychologically on the israelis. there is so much there and one of the reasons that palestinian terror groups are able to claim victory or disputed victory, i should say, is because they have a much lower bar, they need to survive to lick their wounds and fight another day and continue to receive outside financial political and material support from the world's foremost aid sponsored terrorism, iran. in the struggle between fatah and hamas, i mean, fatah has been very flat—footed, hasn't it, over the last fortnight or so? indeed, and you could say while the shooting has stopped the kinetic part of the war has ceased or there is a ceasefire and the political part really begins, there is a battle of narratives within the competing palestinian camps and the narratives between israel and gaza and may even be between the asia and us as to who have brokered the ceasefire and again we will see how long it lasts but while the ceasefire is in effect, several other wars, political wars as
