Volgens Hamas was de oorlog in Gaza helemaal niet disproportioneel: Hamas zegt 80 Israeli's te hebben gedood, waarvan 49 soldaten, terwijl Israel maar 48 Hamas strijders zou hebben gedood. Inderdaad een grote overwinning voor 'het verzet'!

Hamas children's propaganda film reinforces illusion of war victory
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
On the first day of its ceasefire with Israel, Hamas has added a new element to its propaganda campaign claiming that it won the war in Gaza. An animated film for children on Hamas TV depicts Israeli soldiers as cowards who are afraid to enter Gaza. They cry, "Mommy, Mommy," as they head into battle, where they are all killed by Hamas gunfire.
The video ends with an Israeli soldier's blood splattered on the screen, accompanied by a caption that reads, "Whoever dares, let him come! Gaza is his certain death."
Observers have reported that hundreds of Hamas fighters were killed in the conflict, while Israel lost 10 soldiers in combat and three civilians in rocket attacks. However, in the attempt to present this war as a victory, Hamas TV reported today that Hamas lost only 48 fighters and killed 80 Israelis, including 49 soldiers.
This film aims to reinforce the victory myth that Hamas is trying to sell to its people.
