...and the willing media that suck it up.
This is meant to be a Hezbollah tunnel and was used as some kind of justification for attacking a nearby UN base.
"...This, the Israeli military says, is the entrance to a Hezbollah attack position.
It is one of two within a stone’s throw of a UN base where international soldiers have for years rotated in and out to prevent another war breaking out.
The tunnels were shown to the Telegraph by Israeli troops on Sunday before the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered the UN to withdraw “immediately”. His demand came as Israeli tanks rammed through the gates of a UN base – and a few days after UN soldiers were injured by IDF tank rounds. The “most important part is to see the proximity to the UN. It’s right here”, an Israeli soldier told this newspaper as he stood over the tunnel entrance.
“To build a tunnel like this you need a lot of equipment. You can’t hide it. It’s very odd to us that the UN didn’t see these activities,” General Yiftach, whose division now controls the area, added. "
It's not odd to me because it's very obviously an old well or cellar/cool store: when since did Hezbollah apply old coats of whitewash to tunnel walls? And check the manhole cover: "... But no more than 100 metres from the blast walls below the tower, a rusty metal trapdoor swings open to reveal a tunnel cut deep into the rock."
Except it doesn't swing open because it's quite obviously abandoned & never even been closed ( and thus used) in years: as the build up of debris on it and the lid makes plain and there's nothing in it but windblown rubbish.
The video linked to this makes it all even clearer:
How many times can they recycle the same bollocks and not be called on it? Almost everything they've ever claimed turned out to be lies. Not mistaken. Lies. Every spokesman has to be rotated out because their ridiculous claims and refusal to accept what's staring everbody in the face becomes laughable. Every story crumbles upon any kind of inspection. Every denial, an admission.
And yet, here they are again, gathered around pointing at something they claim should allow them to bomb people; in this case UN Peacekeepers and the willing media just throw it out there like it's coming from some kind of reputable source.
This disconnect between what everyone can see and what they are telling us, "they" including the media and politcal class, is just baffling. We all know they have to be able to shovel whatever the current narrative is and pretend they believe it, but the level of this has reached in the last year is beyond cognitive dissonance and into the realms of insanity.
It's getting beyond description. I await their next article decrying the public loss of trust in the media...
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
