      They did not infiltrate anything as you cannot infiltrate your own occupied country – just a small correction because NPR is a public broadcaster and obviously will push a Zionist line.

      Otherwise yes they did start with paragliders, though I have to wonder how they managed to get past the checkpoints and snipers. Maybe they thought they were tourists?

      They also cut a hole in the fence and convoyed motorcycles through. But it seems the gliders were sent to secure an opening for more fighters to follow.

          It’s really clever actually, it’s so low-tech it’s not going to be picked up by all the high-tech equipment. Only way they could be intercepted is by troops on the ground, which evidently did not happen and I really want to know why, I hope we’ll get the answer. Planes fly too high and too fast to intercept, radars don’t pick this signal up…

          Really using the 11ft ladder lol.

        you’re still infiltrating a security device even if the people who put up the walls or locks did so illegitimately. that’s a real weird revisionist prescriptivism you’ve got there.

          Clearly NPR was not talking about infiltrating a wall or lock, but about infiltrating Israel.

          that’s a real weird revisionist prescriptivism you’ve got there.

          Not sure what you mean by that.

            the specificity you’re demanding for “infiltrate” to apply is prescriptivist, and it’s revision because it does not reflect common usage in american or commonwealth.

            anyway, you’re still infiltrating a security device something even if the people who put up the walls or locks fortified border did so illegitimately.

              The comrade was being slightly pedantic in objecting to the use of the word infiltrate to make a point, but you are just being an annoying debate nerd for no reason. What do you think you are achieving with this?
