the bullshit is that article, why would hamas be relying on news coverage to know whether the idf was in gaza? why would you believe anything published in haaretz right now anyhow?

it seemed like yesterday hella western journalists on twitter were like "oh they are starting to invade, wait no their not, wait yes they are. wait just kidding"

they were sure, but do you think hamas was relying on that for idf troop positions?

*edit*
sorry the article was paywalled so i took the OP at his word. i went back to check and didn't see any reference to hamas actually getting lured into tunnels to get bombed, just intended to.

Doing some Media Analysis and Criticism on the article, Stringent is right: what the article shows “definitively” is that the IDF deliberately lied to the media—they sent a WhatsApp message to a bunch of journos explicitly saying there were troops on the ground, and waited 2 hours before “clarifying.” That seems to be true. When it comes to motive, Haaretz just cites “emergent social media” to say that it was to draw Hamas into tunnels.

e: ^ oh, interesting, maybe they edited the article since I read it

Yeah, the simple explanation is that the IDF changed their original statement because they never intended to invade in the first place, and Western media ran with the invasion story because they don't know how to read.

but it sounds like the same Israeli military spokesperson twice confirmed to foreign press that there were ground troops in Gaza before finally clarifying otherwise two hours later. I also doubt Hamas would be checking foreign news outlets for indications of a ground invasion, so I’m skeptical of the “trap them in their tunnels” theory.

the most plausible I can think of rn is that the military people assigned to foreign news correspondents got confused and accidentally spilled the beans on plans for a potential future ground invasion. I don’t see the benefit in deliberately misleading foreign (and not domestic) media that they have escalated the situation to such a huge extent, but maybe someone else does.

I think media misconstrued "ground operations" (which can include the tank/artillery shelling happening now) with "ground invasion"

a few years ago I was listening to NPR and they had a Palestinian spokesperson on and he was talking in very plain terms about the indignities and suffering the Israelis were inflicting on his people. the host got audibly uncomfortable and quickly cut him off

I was a mushbrained lib at the time so it just struck me as weird. nowadays my third eye is fully opened and I post death to Israel and know in my heart that NPR is collaborator swine

IM posted some really tone-deaf "we stand with Israel" thing on their social media, complete with use of "the Motherland." From what I saw in the comments they got torn up over it, and I think they may have deleted the post. I used to be a huuuuge fan of their stuff and as far as I can remember they never got so explicitly political, but I always suspected they were chuds.
