Over the weekend, America cheered as the Israelis flattened the building housing the Associated Press in Gaza. This led to widespread laughter and high-fives among American patriots. And we were even happier when we later found out that the same high-rise had also housed some Hamas military HQs.
American journalists informed us this was terrible, but they never quite explained why. After all, the Gaza branch of the media is not a bunch of Middle Eastern Woodwards and Bernsteins digging up the truth and not caring whose toes they step on. They are dedicated Palestinian propaganda transcriptionists who play a central role in facilitating the terrorists’ information operations against the only free country in the region. They chose a side, and it was the other one. So, don’t ask us to care when they get treated like it.
From a strategic standpoint, Israel always loses the propaganda war. This is because the MSM hates them and will run propaganda against them. Hamas and the press in the same building is a no brainer for targeting.
Ironically, IDF once again won the actual war.
It’s almost as though the virtual is separate from the real. Isn’t it funny how that works.
Not yet.
I really don’t know what Netanyahu is waiting for. Does he need permission from Xiao Biden to finish off Hamastan?
Maybe from George Soros? Ha’aretz, perhaps?
Waiting for the Hamasholes to “regroup” and rebuild so they can continue assaulting Israel (and dropping third-rate Iranian rockets on their own people), before doing the “rinse and repeat” thing?
It’s not the Israelis furiously pedaling the “cycle of violence”.
AP has the sadz again:
“Israeli military accused of using media to trick Hamas”
“That set the stage for the late-night deception. According to Heller, Israel began scrambling forces along the border in what appeared to be final preparations for an invasion. Then came the announcement to the media, issued simultaneously in Hebrew and Arabic on Twitter. There followed alerts in major outlets, including the New York Times, that the invasion was under way.
The Israeli moves sent Hamas fighters rushing into defensive positions in an underground network of tunnels known as “the Metro,” according to Heller and other Israeli reports.
Israel called in 160 warplanes and bombarded the tunnels for 40 minutes, the military said. Heller said it was his understanding that scores of militants had been killed, though he said it was impossible to say.”
—
Get the media to tell Hamas that the ground war is starting so they hide in the tunnels then flatten the tunnels.
“It’s not fair to use our preconceptions and bigotry against us. You’re not supposed to be smarter than us. Again. And again. And again. You’re not supposed to fight back, you’re supposed to roll over and die. Why won’t you die?”
I’m not Jewish in the slightest. But this toast was only worthy of my 20+ year old scotch.
You Glorious Bastards. God’s chosen, and oft tested. May you be worthy of his tests for another 2000 years!
(of course, if you’d accept that Jesus came to perfect your understanding then we could…. oh, OK, back to the toasts) May He continue to watch over you forever!

The love of the Lord for Israel endures forever. His patience with Israel’s enemies doesn’t. God will never abandon Israel. He never tires of destroying Gentile nations who defy Him and persecute Israel.
Outside Israel, western civilization is doomed. I shudder at the thought of what might replace it—if anything replaces it.
I don’t know the day or the hour, but I doubt we will need 2000 years to find out.
With you, I toast Israel. Perhaps alone, I weep for myself and everyone I love.
Snigger.
Yeah, that’s all I got. We’re outta popcorn.
The media is as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning.The difference is the sun has a use.IDF could try that trick tomorrow and it would end with the same results.God bless Isreal
Works for me. (-:
I love this story – I have not trusted the media for the last 30 years. CBC especially has a “permanent tan to the back of their ears” from all of the brown-nosing they have done for Prime Minister Trudeau and both the federal and Ontario Liberal parties.
I have put a curse on all the media except Rebel Media.
So the Associated Press were not aware that Al jazerra and Hamas a terrorist organization were being housed in the same office building? They are supposed to be a news organization with their finger on the pulse of the environment of their surroundings. As “no show joe” would say CMON MAN nobody is gonna believe this. If this is true in the case of the AP then they no longer can claim any level of credibility!
Some tips for AP:
“Eight Warning Signs You Might Be Sharing Office Space With Terrorists”
https://babylonbee.com/news/eight-warning-signs-you-might-be-sharing-office-space-with-terrorists
“8. You get notified by the IDF that you are sharing office space with terrorists and your building is leveled shortly after. – A sure sign that perhaps those guys upstairs were actually Hamas.”
The “Hamashole” in that pic is carrying the extremely rare late-production, left-handed AKM.
He wouldn’t trade it for a herd of goats.
AP is lying as usual.
When a rocket of this type takes off.
Everyone knows it. Quiet is something they are NOT!
Apparently Glen Greenwell, a supporter of the Palestinians, was dumbfounded that the America First crowd were also not Pal supporters. Robert Barnes not only gives a history lesson of the region but takes Greenwell DOWN. Starts at the 58 minute mark and he goes off for about 50 minutes.

Kenny could well have won my vote for the cons when he called out anti-semetism in Alberta (and Canada) in his press conference today without really discussing geopolitics and not peeing in pond of whoever our foreign minister is–um, is it still the dude who looks like Ellen, or the creepy ski-instructor guy, or is Freeland still the Minister of Everything, or is it some grabasstastic general they’ll fire in six months?
I’m so tired of Kenny running against Trudeau, nice to see him momentarily swinging back to tolerance and (gasp) liberty. I’m sure he made a mistake but I’m slightly optimistic for the first time in a year. Our provincial first Minister spoke directly in a manner appropriate to 4 million people in Alberta when asked a left-field question and about Palestine protests during a COVID press-conference.
Meanwhike Nenshi and Iveson have clearly checked out and are just spinning the (riots-in-the-streets / blockades) wheel of laziness.
[SPIN zzzzzzzzz clicking noises…climate change…click… racists…sexism…tiki torches….anything lgbtq2+….click….click…oh no double zero! 00–shit! Not 00 again! another in-camera meeting with developers…all bets are off, everyone is a loser… tax rates go brrrr.]
I like my Premiere scrappy. I would like him better if he were Scott Moe.
There was a time when most people would be concerned that the media might be collateral damage in an IDF action but that was long ago when the media bothered to keep up a shallow pretense of objectivity. Kurt’s premise was that Hamas was more likely the collateral target which is likely now shared by half of America.
The Jews have thousands of years of experience living in a world ruled by people who hate them and want them dead.
The wonder is that they took so long to start treating foreign journalists like agents of a Gentile elite as profoundly and incorrigibly anti-Semitic as it was in 1933, if not worse (now they’ve admitted the Chinese communists to their ranks).
It’s only a matter of time before the Israelis start expelling foreign journalists from the Land of Israel. Faster please.
In the meantime, if you want to have a clue what is really going on in Israel, reading the moribund Anglophone press is a waste of time. Stick to the thriving Hebrew-language press. Google Translate’s Hebrew has come a long way, and you’ll be floored at how much real news there is to report from Startup Nation.
+++++/\ Diddley. 100% bang on.
When I read about this…damned near danced a jig..!!! Now if we could only have the IDF take out the CBC hq in trawna….and the major ones here in Alberta, I’ll damned well Convert..!!
As to the so called Press…tough shit kiddies. You made yer bed – shat on Israel for near 80 yrs. I’m surprised the iDF didn’t do that 40 years ago. No one is surprised at that, being all media tends to lean Left, then Far Left and finally in to full on Marxism….and well we know full well what the Marxists thought of the Jews…right.??
Ever hear of a Pogrom..?
Not quite the Einsatzgruppen…but it’s the Russian predecessor.
I will ALWAYS Support Israel and its people….ALWAYS.
Most every ethnic group has faced people who hated them and wanted them dead. Most ethnic groups end up defeated over the span of thousands of years. This is where the Jews are different. I suppose the Han Chinese are similar in that regard, but I am just spitballing there. The earliest written reference to Israel as a nation comes at about 1200 BC from Egypt. This incident doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the Bible because basically the Israelis and the Philistines — not Palestinians of today, but the greek tribe who gave the land its name — and other Greeks plus some Libyans were on a raiding mission to try to sack Egypt. Not the kind of history those composing the Torah wanted to commemorate, especially when they lost, and BTW thousands of them were enslaved as basically criminals. (Maybe these were the enslaved Jews of Exodus? The Tribe of Dan is also mentioned by the Egyptians as having taken part in this battle and having been enslaved, and the Tribe of Dan is mentioned in Exodus (“The Danites remained in their ships” – Exodus) “Ships”? You mean like the raiders who attacked Egypt with the Israelis?
We will never know, but the written word was spreading at the time so we have hazy documentation and these conflicts go back to the collapse of the Bronze Age, at least. I don’t know how they are to be settled. The Arab Palestinians claim Israel by right of conquest over a thousand years ago. Right of conquest lasts only as long as that conquest can be enforced. Which is where we are now.
Woodward and Bernstein were/are assholes.
Something to ponder: journalists are, by and large, a dim lot. Do you suppose any of them are only now realizing that their employer volunteered them to be human shields for terrorists? Does it bother them at all?
Hamas launches 1000 rockets.
Israel responds with 160 aircraft.
Clearly this is disproportionate!
When is Israel going to launch the other 840 sorties to even things up?
Good essay by Kurt Schlichter. I like his fundamental rules, at the end of the essay, about fighting the corporate media cartel. Another rule would be to support the dissident conservative media.
The AP and Al Jazeera, if they had any real journalists, might have thought to question why, if they were encamped in one of the most dangerous places in the world, they never seemed to be targeted by the terrorists. The rest of us know exactly why they weren’t in any danger of being attacked.
the AP admitted in 2014 that they don’t cover their interactions with the groups and governments, because “it’s not news”
The only regret I experienced over the Israelis destroying this ‘media’ building was when I learned CNN, CBC and MSNBC had no offices there.
They must perform their Hamas propaganda from the hospitals and schools.
Hope Israel doesn’t help the muslims rebuild Gaza. Not dime one. The scary thing for me is the continual growing crowd of muslims here in Toronto facing the tiny Jewish supporters of Israel. Some 5,000 muslims and their allies at the city hall. At some point blood will be shed and the Toronto police will be ordered to stand down.
David, I have no intention to travel from BC to Tronna, and I’m to damn old to fight much of anyone. However, if such muslim protests occur in my home town, I will stand and be counted with the Jewish peoples. If it gets really bad, then I will also be armed when I stand with the Jewish people. My belief structure is set in stone at my age, and if I’m going down, I might as well take a few of the desert pedo’s with me. More likely, I would be looking for people from town I recognize, and will consider visiting with them at a later time 🙂
It is a really good idea to attack an enemy that is trying to kill you. Oh hell, I have that before.
