Ah yes, because the same American media that claimed that "40 babies were beheaded" and "Shani Louk is naked and dead" and " Russia bombed this Ukrainian market" and "India landed right on the South Pole" is so reliable and unbiased. In some of these cases, we're not talking about distorting facts into some false reality. We're literally talking about making shit up that's trivial to disprove.

American journalism fucking sucks. They're incapable of identifying a multi-pulse rocket engine flight trail, despite having had almost two years of Stinger MANPADS usage in Ukraine. They're incapable of basic background research and completely incapable of considering alternative options. They'll gobble up the Israeli "audio of Hamas" despite having nobody who speaks Arabic on the media team (because everyone who does already got put on mandatory leave) and won't consider how the IDF clearly has no intelligence in Hamas given that Hamas was able to amass an attack with thousands of people without any leakage.

I'm not "American", so not sure why you rant about "American journalism". Just stop posting from propaganda sources.

won’t consider how the IDF clearly has no intelligence in Hamas given that Hamas was able to amass an attack with thousands of people without any leakage.

You do know that Israel got warned about the attack by Egypt, but chose to ignore it? If they stopped the attack, they couldn't advance with their genocide plan this openly, so your storyline doesn't even make sense. I will just ignore you from now on.

So Egypt has intelligence, but Israel doesn't, but also Israel does now? Interesting how the IDF only seems to have intelligence when it's convenient for your narrative.
