Early Friday, it was widely, incorrectly reported that Israeli ground forces had advanced into Gaza.

Some observers blame the confusion on a military ploy to lure militants into the tunnels under Gaza.

More than 150 Israeli jets went on to intensely bombard the tunnel system, known as "the metro."

"The IDF makes Hamas think that a ground operation is beginning, which causes the organization to bring in all its fighters, including the Nahba, the special force of Hamas, to go down into the tunnels and prepare for combat," Dvori wrote.

Just like I wrote yesterday: The msm helped the Israelis. Let’s hope Hamas won’t try to get back on the msm. It would be too bad.

There’s probably an element of conservatives knowing to stay clear of the media, but for politicians, they crave the media...so it’s more likely not the case.

I think what’s going on is that the media has their ‘token Republicans’ with Liz Cheney leading the bunch now and therefore has the people they need to be able to claim they’re covering both sides.

Israeli airstrike takes out building that houses news outlets in Gaza

An Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building that housed several media outlets in the Gaza Strip, including The Associated Press and Al Jazeera.

The airstrike Saturday came roughly an hour after the Israeli military ordered people to evacuate the building, the AP reported. Al Jazeera aired the bombing live.

It didn’t appear that Jerusalem trued to trick anybody. But if they did, GREAT! It reportedly helped kill more fakestinian terrorists (with the least civilian casualties, too). Yippee!!

The “fighters” hide in tunnels while their women and children are at risk. Cowardly buggers!

Don’t be dissing my hero Odysseus!

I highly recommend the new (2018) translation of The Odyssey by Emily Wilson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An easy/fun read; with a complete glossary.

Already familiar with the story, and still I reached a point one afternoon where I just had to see how she does the ending... I read all night!!!
Well worth the missing sleep.

GO FOR IT!
