It's possible, but more likely, Israel doesn't actually know where the tunnels are. That's before bombing Gaza into fields of unrecognizable rubble.

Consider that New York City doesn't know where major underground utilities are located - water mains, Con Edison junctions, God knows what else are routinely discovered by accident.

Really? New York doesn't have its underground areas fully mapped out? That's wild

I never understood the "girls allowed to go to school" argument for Afghanistan when Canada's most famous battle, White School, destroyed a school. That's on top of all of the ones we bombed, naturally.

Are women in Gaza going to have more jobs once the entire society and economy is destroyed? Is it better to be dead than unemployed?

There's a MAID in Canada solution for that

I mean the fundamental problem with bombs vs tunnels is that in most cases even if you did destroy a tunnel you don’t know because the entire area is an undifferentiated mass of rubble from the air, and even if you are sure you destroyed a tunnel you have no idea how many tunnels you didn’t destroy because definitionally any tunnels you didn’t hit and collapse are still invisible to aerial surveillance. so they can’t avoid going in on foot even if they bomb for weeks or months because they simply can’t be sure how many tunnels are left and how many people are left alive in them.

imagine a basement building that has collected paper records of infrastructure additions, repairs, changes, etc. for over two hundred years. now go in there and find out whether there's a water main at a random intersection in queens.

Is calling it the IOF instead of the IDF some kind of Drumpf gottem poo poo

I use the Al Mayadeen style guide when posting about the Zionist entity

Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the ADL, has scolded MSNBC anchors multiple times for referring to Hamas fighters as anything other than terrorists. Casualty reports out of Gaza is prefaced in the Western press with "The Hamas run Ministry of Health says" before mentioning the details, with the implication being it could all be a lie. The Washington Post was caught doing a find and replace on the word Palestine to instead be "the Palestinian Territories." So calling it the "israeli" Occupation Forces instead of the Israeli Defense Forces is petty, but not that different from what the Western media does everyday from the opposite viewpoint.

The imperialist press put a lot of stock into sticking with their corny stock phrases. It's not the biggest detail, but the framing of the struggle and phrases used does matter to both sides. The Irgun terrorist and founder of Likud, Menachem Begin, argued at a conference that even using the term Palestine delegitimized the settler project:

quote:

My friend, take care. When you recognize the concept of ‘Palestine,’ you demolish your right to live in Ein Hahoresh. If this is Palestine and not the Land of Israel, then you are conquerors and not tillers of the land. You are invaders. If this is Palestine, then it belongs to a people who lived here before you came. Only if it is the Land of Israel do you have a right to live in Ein Hahoresh and in Deganiyah B. If it is not your country, your fatherland, the country of your ancestors and of your sons, then what are you doing here? You came to another people’s homeland, as they claim, you expelled them and you have taken their land...
