It would come as shock to everyone involved that a civilian Israeli Jew knows more about the opinions and thought process of Hezbollah's leadership, beyond the fact that's a pretty obvious logical fallacy in of itself. Particularly given I was literally able to cite news stories to the contrary...

Regardless of whether or not the IDF has a different COIN method, it's clear they are failing to get results with it anymore than the U.S. has been able to as of late. They have been repeatedly kicked out of Gaza and so too have been forced out of Lebanon; not a good track record there. As for...

First, you are welcome to cite anywhere in my posts I said military improvements alone constitute a victory. Rather, I based my statements on the facts acknowledged by non Arab sources; namely, that Hamas has discredited Fatah pretty heavily through this, for one key example. Specific to the...

The status quo is dead and, honestly, Hamas-as a lot of commentary in both Israel and the West is noting-did win a pretty convincing victory. It costs Hamas a few hundred dollars to make one of their rockets, but a single Tamir costs several hundred thousand to the IDF. Although Hamas has not...

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion but honestly nothing in that articles proves your original allegation, which was this: Nothing within the cited bits show anything to suggest the AP is working with Hamas; indeed, it rather contradicts such, both in general and in this particular...

My apologies, I searched for "Associated Press" rather than AP. For the former, yes, for the latter no because nothing you have cited shows any sort of direct connection as claimed even if it is taken at face value. There is a very, very big leap from "AP didn't report this story about a 2008...

Secretary of State came out and said he saw no evidence. That article only mentions AP twice and says nothing about them working with Hamas. For context:

Has there been any evidence put forward besides the IDF claiming this was the case?

Sure, but in this case we know the Hamas rockets are making a dent by subjecting the Israelis to attrition; Hamas can build a lot more cheap rockets than the IDF can build Tamirs. A lot of the commentary on this conflict notes that this sort of high pressure situation can force Iron Dome to its...

It's a pretty consistent problem that crops up in Western vs Eastern fighting. On an individual basis, Western weapons and the like give them an unparalleled advantaged and allows for the lopsided casualty rates we see in such conflicts. The issue comes, however, from the same vein that Stalin...

Hearing Iron Dome is running low on interceptors, while reports suggest Hezbollah and the Al-Asqa Brigade in the West Bank are starting to look at getting involved. Militarily, this has probably been the best performance by Hamas so far, with some pretty strong evidence suggesting their missile...
