Given that the underlying premise of the story is bizarre (is the IDF really so short of manpower that they can't select their own targets), and given that the sort of people who work at the Guardian openly loathe Israel, it makes more sense that the story is being misreported.
The premise that the IDF would use some form of automated information processing to help select potential targets, in the year 2023?
There's nothing at all unrealistic about this premise, of course. If anything it's rather bizarre to suggest that it might be.
The sort of people who work at the Guardian openly loathe Israel
This sounds you just don't have much to say about the substantive claims of these reports (which began with research by two Israeli publications, +972 and the Local Call -- and then taken further by The Guardian). Or would you say that former two "openly loathe Israel" also? Along with the Israeli sources that they're quoting?
