I expect it's just rhetoric...

These are the words of a jolly post-election victory song video clip which has just been put up on the Hamas Arabic language web site; I've indicated the most interesting bits of what's shown in the video as the words are sung

The invaders fled [Gaza] 

[shots of cheeing Gaza crowds]

The army of the Jews was defeated
The home and the homeland is returning through [Palestinian] blood
Not through negotiations, surrender, or promises

[shots of Peres signing peace agreements

Allah the Great, be pleased by the sound of thunder...!

[shots of high-stepping marching masked gunmen]

We will never accept the enemies in the land of our fathers...

The invaders fled

[shot of departing settlers comforting each other]

The army of the Jews was defeated
The home and the homeland is returning through blood

[shot of mourning woman with green scarf with slogan standing by the body of a dead Hamas terrorist at his funeral]

Not through negotiations, surrender, or promises...

[shot of Sharon at podium signing an agreement]

Allah the Great, be pleased by the sound of thunder...!
We will never accept the enemies in the land of our fathers...

[shot of a volley of Qassam rockets being fired at Israel]

Let the enemies leave the entire land!

[shot of Israeli army vehicles driving away]

And take their holy books, which are all black!

[shot of black-hatted strictly Orthodox Jew shaking lulav and etrog, celebrating the Succot festival]

[shot of grieving departing settlers hugging each other]
Our flag was raised and spread out, O Jihad...!

The invaders fled [Gaza]
The army of the Jews was defeated

[shot of grieving settlers, heads in hands, followed by shots of wreckage of their demolished homes]

The home and the homeland is returning through blood

[shot of the city of Haifa seen from Mount Carmel]

I expect you get the picture. Seems to be another one where Mr Aqtash's invaluable PR advice to Hamas on how to improve their image wasn't heeded.

Thanks to Palestinian Media Watch.

Something about Hamas's bravura over Gaza reminds me of the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where some great martial artist makes all sorts of menacing moves at Harrison Ford's character and then Ford just whips out his gun and shots the clown dead.
