Hamas Declares that We, the People of Gaza, Have Not Been Defeated. I Say Otherwise.

(Times of Israel) Ezzideen Shehab - Today, my family and I learned that our homes and our entire neighborhood have been completely erased - flattened into a barren stretch of yellow dust. We have been living the full meaning of defeat. We now have no home to return to. One of Hamas's leaders appears on television declaring that "the people have not been defeated," that "Gaza has stood firm." So let history record this: I, Dr. Ezzideen Shehab from Gaza, together with my family, my friends, and their families, were the victims of an annihilation ignited by Hamas, while Hamas's fighters vanished into their tunnels. Let history record the truth: we have been defeated - utterly, painfully, and completely defeated. And it is we, the people of Gaza, who have the right to say whether or not we were defeated, not those who sit comfortably in Qatar or Turkey. We were crushed, humiliated, and broken after our city was destroyed. We were displaced, stripped of everything we had built, left to wander through the ruins of our own lives. We were not "steadfast." We were held hostage in our own land. We could not leave. We could not change those who claimed to rule us.
