#classic case of what ilan pappe was saying on the electronic intifada podcast re: israeli media treating hebrew like a secret language

From Al Mayadeen's summary of occupation media coverage of Iran's strikes:

"Israeli journalist Amir Bohbot considered that any future confrontation with Iran could end with 'a barrage of drones and ballistic missiles,' similar to those that targeted the occupied territories early Sunday, as 'the dam (barrier) was breached and has collapsed.' He said that 'Israel' is 'not in a hurry' to attack Iran, even though this 'damages Israel's deterrence.'

... The military affairs correspondent for Israel Hayom, Lilach Shoval stressed the need to take Iranian threats seriously, noting that discussions in 'Israel' currently 'revolve around changing the equation.' Shoval pointed out that 'Israel has been attacking targets, personnel, and scientists from Iran for years, in the shadows and behind the scenes,' but now it will have to consider 'whether it is worth doing so, after it believed [earlier] it could without Iran retaliating.'"
