Yesterday, Hamas launched a “surprise attack” on Israel, allegedly killing dozens. Israel has already struck back at Gaza.
According to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel is now “at war”. You can almost hear the glee in the words of the Atlantic Council’s experts.
It started this morning (the Washington Post has a handy timeline) with Hamas launching rockets at several Israeli cities including Tel Aviv.
After that Palestinian fighters broke through the Southern border, “taking over Israeli towns” and kidnapping civilians to use as hostages. We know this because they helpfully recorded themselves doing it and uploaded it to the internet.
Then came the insurgents on motorised hang-gliders:
The Israeli response has been as hard as you’d expect. Two-hundred civilians are said to have been killed already.
Exactly 50 years and one day since the Yom Kippur war, we have a new war to talk about.
…and talk they are. Already the hot takes are flying around. Social media is the ultimate fog of war machine, and misattributed clips and photos are already being passed around. Just like early days of the Ukraine “special military operation”.
This gels neatly with Todd Hayen’s column from this morning, reminding us in the age of technology visual evidence is not the touchstone it used to be.
Consider our banner image of war torn Palestine…
…it was made with a generative AI. (A handy tool for any war photographers who don’t feel like visiting a warzone). How many images and how much footage of this war – or others – is produced this way? Who can say.
There’s already talk that, like in 1973, it could cause an energy crisis. Definitely something to keep in mind.
The most surprising thing about this attack is, well, that it was a surprise.
After all, you’d think an over-funded Israeli military would be well capable of both monitoring and countering any attack from the comparatively small and ill-equipped Palestinian forces.
For those who want an explanation, multiple outlets have already published stories detailing the historic nature” of the “intelligence failures” that lead to this point.
Smart work considering it only happened this morning. A quicker autopsy on a fresher body you will not find.
For those wondering why Hamas, who comfortably held the moral high-ground and the sympathies of Western leftists, would not only kidnap young women from “peace festivals” but also record themselves doing and it and publish it to the internet – well, we have explainer pieces for that too.
So that’s how it happened and why it happened all explained before anybody can even be sure eactly what has happened. Very neat.
Nevertheless, other questions arise:
- How long will the “war” last? Who will win?
- Will it cause energy prices to increase?
- Will we see further increased military spending from NATO partners?
- Can we expect “terrorist attacks” in the West too?
One thing is certain, there will be a huge amount of social pressure on every body to pick a side – to cheer and clap and boo and hiss. We would suggest holding back on that for now.

Tonight what heights we’ll hit.
On with the show, this is it.
Israel is about to roll over and level gaza. This is an excuse they desired.
…omg!!! …the horror…11 million have died in this attack so far. This will not go unpunished !!
I don’t think you understand the seriousness of all this, AOC was nearly killed ok.
She’ll need some paid time off to recuperate and boost her security, at your expense of course.
You should be a little more understanding and sensitive.
LOL
Can’t use 11 million … 6 million is the operative number for them … any more would be excessive — any less would be — inaccurate …
4 short years ago, we had:
Peace in Europe
Peace in the Middle East
1% inflation
$1.75 a gallon gasoline
2.5% mortgage rate
A growing economy
Full employment
What the hell happened?
Stolen elections have consequences.
FFS……………..now we have to deal with evildoers in hang gliders !!!!!!!
Switch to shotgun. Easier than shooting clays or ducks out of the sky.
Besides, transition skills are fun to practice and this is a good example of the need to practice. boom boom says Mr 12 gauge.
Some Palestinians may have to be reduced…
Looked like a smaller WTC demolition project.
Ukraine narrative is falling apart.
They need a new Distraction………
Money Machine Goes “WHIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR…………….”
Funny how MSM is flush with videos of atrocities committed by Hamas which was also taken by Hamas and uploaded to the internet, but have never aired even one video of Israelis killing Palestinian children or kicking Arab families out of their houses at gunpoint….go figure
Aint that ironical ?
i have always questioned how blame was either assigned or implied before the dust even settles. time after time minute details are published with in the hour often prior to the event. like any one i know would advertise a criminal act or openly accept blame but those in control of the gutenberg press seem to control the narrative and expect us to swallow the continuous steam of lies and explainers and their fact checkers and yes men…..
Mark?
See:
visual evidence is not the touchstone it used to be.
There isn’t a doctored or lens flared photo mark won’t immediately accept as proof of the morning dew.
Today, there is no video or picture ‘evidence’ that can be trusted.
Todays software can produce photorealistic images in both vid and pics, and is available to the general public as well. So ANYONE, can produce fake’n gay propaganda and say they were there and witnessed the events caught, when in fact they never left their mom’s basement.
Today whats presented should not be trusted, exactly the way the satanic cultists want it to be. Confusion, distrust and suspicion of everything, a veritable 1984 come true. Distrust keeps the push back revolution on slow burn, its how TBTB keep rolling, nobody want to act in case it was fake news that gets them going.
When these satanic cultists offer a glimmer of truth, wrapped in lies, the People will clamor to it.
I know, lets vote the golden chameleon back into office. He’ll save us all.
AOC didn’t like your comment. LOL
President Trump was a damn sight better than Joe Biden. However, a 2024 Trump victory won’t save us. A George Washington couldn’t save us. Act like your family is on it’s own. Prepare.
Israel=Gay Squirrel.
Newsy “How many missiles did you fire into Israel?”
Hamas “All the missiles Benny gave us.”
bibi must be in lots of strife to create this much trouble
