Hmm, We've the upcoming Israeli election influencing their aggression.But also the oppurtunity for Israel to give their troops,'easy mode', combat experience, something Israel, will consider especially valuable, given the current, Red sea/Arabian interesting times.

the bbc headline report on news at ten is a disgrace

 

[weepiper]

Harry Fear's saying there's three separate reports of ground invasion having started.

 

[elbows]

I'm not sure about Harry Fears ability to ascertain facts either, so I hope he is wrong.

Let's hope he's wrong, but I fear this is it this time, going off other tweets all evening. Plus the call up of 30,000 reservists.

Anonymous Attacks Israeli Websites To Show Gaza Support In Conflict.

As Israel and Hamas continued their deadly conflict in Gaza Thursday, the hacker group Anonymous rallied to the Palestinians' side, launching a digital attack against websites belonging to the Israeli government.

Beginning early Thursday morning, the hacker group announced a mission to crash and deface websites belonging to the Israeli Defense Forces, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and other Israeli websites belonging to security and financial corporations, according to Global Post.
...

On Twitter, an account linked to Anonymous called on followers to bring down more than 40 websites belonging to the Israeli government and military. The group is known for launching so-called "denial of service" attacks that overwhelm websites with traffic, causing them to crash.

“To the people of Gaza and the 'Occupied Territories', know that Anonymous stands with you in this fight," the group said in a statement. "We will do everything in our power to hinder the evil forces of the IDF arrayed against you. We will use all our resources to make certain you stay connected to the Internet and remain able to transmit your experiences to the world."

Fuck the BBC, you shower of fucking cunts! Never again shall I tune into your spin & propaganda!

the BBC's coverage of this so far is absolutely awful. Is there any point in complaining en masse?

Yes, they're on the back foot just now because of the savile stuff and its fall-out.

Seriously, I don't think they could even use that as an excuse for not reporting evenly at the very least.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

There was a brief segment on R4 where they actually had people talking about political realities - Hamas' position and the Israeli govt position - in a realistic way. Didn't change the headlines and they know people don't read or listen or watch past the headlines to the analysis.

 

[DexterTCN]

I didn't mean as an excuse, I meant they're off-balance just now because of it (savile) so a campaign against this (disgraceful one-sided bullshit reporting) may sting.

the only language they understand is a mass boycott of the licence fee

I didn't think you were picking on me, just thought you picked me up wrong
