The same MSM, so quick to absolve Hamas of decapitating babies (apparently merely slaughtering them is nowhere near as bad), immediately believes Hamas when it claims that Israel blew up their hospital, but is only very grudgingly and reluctantly coming around to the fact they were wrong.
No doubt the Israelis have much evidence of the command post under Shifa hospital, but revealing too much may tip off how they obtained the intelligence, in much the same way that the British had to be very careful how they used intelligence obtained via Ultra during WWII.
Of course the ABC thinks it knows better!
Hamas systematically uses hospitals, schools, mosques, old age homes and other civilian infrastructure as shields. They welcome every graphic civilian death as another propaganda victory against the IDF, and the media cooperates.
Hamas wants the IDF to go in and get blooded close up, the more deaths the better. The Hamas leadership, safely ensconced in Qatar or wherever, seem a lot happier with the progress of events than the IDF.
You can support Israel and not support a stupid self-aggrandising open letter.
Not in this case of course.
Obviously when it’s simply Hamas vs the IDF, then Hamas is going to lose, and it’s only a question of how much additional damage on both sides.
But here’s the thing … the purpose of terrorism is to provoke an overreaction, thus Hamas must escalate if they want any chance to win. Everything that happens should be measured in terms of, “Will this escalate, and how much?”
BTW, I agree that the ABC have a poor track record on reliability, but this is a war, and information is part of that war … therefore treat all sources with suspicion.
