When the media decides who you are rooting for.

Academic article reveals statistical evidence for what we already knew. Zionist cancer times its attacks to coincide with major sporting events. I used scihub.ru to look through it.

I'm sure the world cup has nothing to do with the timing of largest attacks on Lebanon and Iran since April.

Abstract

Politicians may strategically time unpopular measures to coincide with newsworthy events that distract the media and the public. We test this hypothesis in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We find that Israeli attacks are more likely to occur when US news on the following day is dominated by important predictable events. Strategic timing applies to attacks that bear risk of civilian casualties and are not too costly to postpone. Content analysis suggests that Israel’s strategy aims at minimizing next-day coverage, which is especially charged with negative emotional content. Palestinian attacks do not appear to be timed to US news.

Sport reporters should start mentioning them.
