Why Do The B B C Keep Saying Israel Suffered A "Defeat" On 7Th Oct?
https:/
"His death is a serious blow for Hamas, the organisation he turned into a fighting force that inflicted the biggest defeat on the state of Israel in its history. "
It wasn't fight it was a slaughter of civilians. How can the nation of a terror attrocity be said to have been "defeated"?
Was the USA defeated after 9/11
Spain After Madrid?
UK after 7/7?
Looks like the beeb has its own cabal of terrorist apologists.

because they got through israel's security
the israeli government had funded hamas and considered it an asset (this is the words of the current finance minister bezalel smotrich). by breaking through the blockade and committing acts of terror against israeli civilians including the taking of hostages they did inflict a defeat on the government. many israelis still blame netanyahu for what they see as a security failure
the IRA never went as far as hamas did on october 7th as far as i know... i'm not aware of them conducting a small invasion of the UK mainlaind and pillaging small towns and taking hostages on that scale. if they had then yes defeat would have been an appropriate word in the sense that they had managed to get past the security services and attack the civilian population

seems entirely reasonable to me
