You mean that a government with one of the most well funded intelligence services in the world, knew that an attack was coming from a region they completely control, from a manufactured rebel group they partly fund. And they let this attack happen, and their citizens die and used it as a casus belli to raze, and ethnically cleanse said region because they want to completely colonize and claim it as their own?

That's definitely a first in the history of humanity and I'm utterly shocked, really!

not to forget Netanyahu's government was in a pretty bad place and urgently needed some common enemy to save the day from

Also they let the attack continue for 6 hours before showing up with forces despite being a 1 hour drive from their capital city and probably even closer to military bases. With a population that all serves in the military in their youth and many that proudly walk around armed, how did it take so long to organize a counter?

Yeah, something tells me EDM festivals aren't full of Likud voters, maybe leadership thought of it as 2 birds one stone

They needed to have lunch and then a serious meeting to figure out what to do. You can't make this kind of decision on an empty stomach!

You left out the Hannibal directive part, but yeah.

I didn't know about it, that's interesting, to say the least

Yeah, this is pretty much what we’re saying.
