Netanyahu - Gaza cease fire - opinion

As usual , many Israelis just don't get it and are critical of Netanyahu. What Netanyahu did was save Israeli lives, smash the Hamas military enough so it is not a serious national threat compared to what was before July , and keep the other Arab nations out of the conflict while keeping the USA as an ally. And this is the real point many Israeli do not understand - although the people  very close to Netanyahu do .
" I AND  MY ARMY ARE WELL". Unlike Hamas, Israel lost NO military equipment and that is compared to the thousands of planes and tanks destroyed in the Yom Kippur War where Israel was at the mercy of an American air lift, or the second Lebanon War where Israel won but was unprepared.. This  time, if needed , Israel could have finished any job on her own if needed.
And for Hamas to declare victory , well I am waiting how soon there will be an Arab Spring in Gaza . As for Qatar and Iran and Turkey , their treasuries will bleed fixing Gaza. And for Israelis that wanted an invasion of Gaza where many Israeli soldiers would have lost their lives for nothing- well they can always move to Europe or the USA and leave Israel to the people who understand what Israel is about.A Jewish homeland where the Jewish people have self determination,and a future  - even in war.
