Yawn....... Israel attacked by Hamas

    Netanyahu and Trump must feel very appreciative of the love they receive from their supporters.
    "....deport him back to some third-world Islamic shiathole." is right up Trumps alley for dealing with 'problem people'.

    Well this thread didn't age well for GWB, it reflects rather poorly on his judgement.

    I had a look at the metadata and binary of the PDF @ph1l posted. I saw it before but never looked closely
    The server paths in it are a match for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The document was created on a Mac in Adobe Illustrator.

    The problem is that one purported document’s header seems fake, fabricated to look authentic. You can be confident they don’t have English and Arabic letterheads like that on internal documents. Dual language is found on an external document but it does not match. If someone is possibly willing to go that far to “assist” foreigners, why wouldn’t they also fake the spreadsheets?

    A document that seems potentially authentic, a cover page with a journalist’s name on the second page, looks OK until you translate it. Then you see jumbled or repeated text, as if it was assembled incorrectly. Even accounting for Arabic documents being collated in reverse order, it still seems wrong.

    AI analysis:

    "1. Layout and formatting

    The tables look inconsistent in style — line spacing, cell borders, and text alignment vary from section to section.

    Some pages appear to be cut-and-paste composites: mismatched font rendering and odd kerning suggest text and table elements were inserted as raster images into a page, not natively typeset.

    2. Language and structure oddities

    There are places where Arabic-translated names or roles are rendered into English with unusual spacing or punctuation — more like a mechanical translation output than a direct, human-curated bilingual document.

    Repetitions and fragmentary phrases (e.g., rank titles repeated or half-truncated) are present, which you’d expect from clumsy manual assembly or OCR errors, not from an internally consistent original record.

    The “List of Participants in the Military Training of the Beit Hanoun Battalion” has no consistent column widths and some columns have headers that don’t match the data underneath.

    Serial numbers jump in odd ways, and the hierarchy of “battalion/platoon/company” descriptors doesn’t always match how such data is usually structured in genuine military rosters.

    Arabic naming conventions look off in places — suggesting possible mix-and-match from unrelated source lists"

    Also font analysis:
    "
    1. Fonts and text

    The page does contain selectable vector text — mostly in a font called FbMatador and FbMatadorEnHeb (a Hebrew/English hybrid font family).

    FbMatador is often used in designed presentation or print materials, not for native recordkeeping.
    "

    This is why only originals, independently scrutinised, are acceptable. Anything else just makes the Israelis look shifty. No court would admit any of this as evidence.

    I may do a proper run through back at my office to check the AI, mistaking some conversion to presentation as fakery is clear, though the fonts do appear mismatch, serious red flag. I'll check the kerning too. However it hardly seems worth the effort, I'm on my phone right now.
