I find it much easier to accept that Israeli intelligence dropped the ball than they orchestrated or even tolerated the attack.

The facts about operation Hannibal, collective punishment, starvation, and war crimes is complete and morally damning without imagining that right-wing Israeli atrocity-profiteers are Palpatine level manipulators instead.

I tend to believe both. These people have shown us there's no level of evil to which they will not sink when they think it will benefit them.

Palpatine level manipulators

idk, i don’t think it’s that deep either but netanyahu was looking like he was going to be in some deep shit, and then october 7th happened and quite suddenly there’s a bigger issue for people

i don’t think it was planned and manipulated exactly, but it sure was a convenient distraction, and i think when you (and i of course mean you in the non-personal sense) start to think of a “plan” then all sorts of “yes and” “benefits” start to crop up

i wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was a convenient distraction that morphed into the horrific “seize it all” genocidal zionist end game that it’s become over the course of less than a month

They absolutely did let it happen on purpose. We had information that pointed to this conclusion within weeks of the attack.

Egypt told Israel that Hamas was planning something.

You can walk to the closest military base faster than the IDF reacted to Hamas' operation.

Nova survivors are sueing the security forces in presence: a single phone call could've saved hundred of lives.

The list goes on and on, this is absolutely a case of "let it happen on purpose".

What?? Hold on...

This is where you draw the line? You're aware of all the other shit you listed, but why would they do this?

Unreal...
