Hamas victories…

There  are many  according to Gaza TV,  which has no problem lying for its masters.  There is no mention of  this Hamas cell being  taken out by an IDF helicopter.   Even the sympathizing BBC warns that images from Gaza appearing on social media  are not to  be trusted.

You won’t learn that IDF hit 80 targets in Gaza in  less than  half an hour,  much less that the Hamas attack from the sea ended  in bloody  failure.

You certainly won’t discover that Hamas apparently thought the Israelis would have a limited,  measured response which His Oneness and Europe would approve of.   Now that the notion has been blasted to bits,  Hamas is  looking for  a way out and His Oneness has  offered to broker  a peace deal,  but Netanyahu has declined to slit his own throat,  describing the difference between the two sides with magnificent simplicity:on FOX News Sunday:  “We’re using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they’re using their civilians to protect their missiles.”

His Oneness has acquired a new title  —  that of an elite snot who thinks he can  cut in line  because he’s the President.   Ronald Reagan famously waited his turn at a famed New  Orleans restaurant  when he was in the Oval Office.  Franklin’s website  does say  you can skip the line if you’re traveling and want to pick up a pre-packed brisket for the road, but Austinites are generally none too pleased with Obama’s new exercise of executive power.   Having money and power doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you have also acquired class.
