Italy port workers said holding weapons shipment slated for Israel
[IsraelTimes] Worker unions at ports in Livorno and Naples in Italia are holding up weapons shipments slated for Israel in protest of the IDF’s counterattacks in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, Channel 12 reports.

Israel is currently working to get the shipments released as soon as possible, the network says, referring to the move by Italia as a form of "economic warfare."

#3 /\ Yes, a wiki reminder of the betrayal:

Armed standoff
A standoff occurred when 20 Carabinieri and 30 VAM (Vigilanza Areonautica Militare) contested for control of the plane with the 80 armed operatives of the U.S. Delta Force and SEAL Team Six. These contesting groups were soon surrounded by 300 additional armed Carabinieri (the Italian military police) who had also blocked off the runway with their trucks.[18][19][15] The Italian Air Force (VAM) personnel and Carabinieri had already been lining up facing the US special forces soon after the American's main contingent had arrived by C-141s. Other Carabinieri had been sent from Catania and Syracuse as reinforcement. These events became known as the Sigonella Crisis.[20]

#4 IDF continue to not get it and how to fight in media social landscape. It is amazing they have tech, but still fight like in 1990's.They learn nothing and blindly think that image of building destruction win them war. There are good relation between Israel and Italian. Are IDF under contract for media news channels because it certainly appear so...

#6 HamAss deliberately targets civilians. Firing indiscriminately into civilian populations without warning with the full intent of killing civilians.

Israel practices 'roof knocks', tries to avoid civilian casualties (but sometimes cannot be avoided) and targets terrorists.

Which is the monster???

#7 IDF have excellent social media presence. Their operatives are all over the internet posting as we speak. They coordinate with an app, this video explains it:

#8 I agree with Senior Platypus. Israel should employ friendly media companies to wage a hearts & mind campaign to win over the world at large. Admittedly, there may be issues with running this play.

Interior - Daytime. A modern office
"Ari, bring me the folder labeled Friendly Media Contacts."
"Sir, it's empty."
"Well, then bring me the one labeled Those Media Arseholes"
"Hang on, sir. I'm gonna need a cart..."

#9 Mister Platypus has shown me the light! Israel needs to awaken to the thunderous roar of 10 Billion Twitter 'Likes' and their power to crush everything under heaven! (/sarc, if you didn't catch it)
