this is clearly just to soften the fact that the idf is losing and cant defeat the resistance because when was hamas ever not fighting using guerrilla tactics? when did they have anything resembling the organizational structure of a conventional army, or an air force, navy, tanks, above ground military bases? its true theyve increased frequency of operations and attacks but theyre not fundamentally changing any tactics. i know most people who see this headline in the wsj probably wont know or care to investigate the difference between conventional warfare and guerrilla warfare but this is a ridiculous point

[image description: two tweets from Dr. Emily Wilson that, together, read, "People sometimes talk about 'feeling seen' as if it were definitely good. The Odyssey is, among 10,000 other things, a poem about the joys of being in hiding, or being in a disguise, or being unseen, unrecognized, hidden, or being somebody else.

"When Odysseus is with Calypso/ Queen Hiding for 7 years, or getting the footstools thrown at him, or under the ram of Polyphemus, or telling longwinded lies about where and who he's been -- he's most himself by being nobody, or not who you think, or many different people." /end description]
