Postel is persuasive that perhaps 97 percent of missiles are getting thru to Israel, something underreported on MSM. We still do not know what damage they are doing when they land. I conjecture that Tehran is leading with its cheapest rockets and drones, to lure as many highly expensive intercepters as possible. If Iranian missiles hit civilian targets they will in the short run fortify Jewish Israeli support for the war, which is strong. But Israel cannot afford a long war. If they go on for weeks damaging infrastructure, making it harder for busy Israels to get to their shelters, then morale will crumble
MSM and independent commentariats are both bedevilled by wishful believing, as in any war. The side that ought to winning is actually winning
Most West MSM is undisguisedly pro war, consulting experts who are mouthpieces for somebodys foreignt oFFEC. When I could see Russia Today I heard a different view. When I could get Irish state radio broadcasting I heard a different view. On my landlords new TV package I cannot find that, but I can Find TRT (Turkish) state TV. Turkey obviously does not yearn for an Israeli victory. its discussion panels sometimes come close to an objective balance. Its dull but honest. gb
