This is maga level conspiracy. We need some source standards on this community.

We knew a few weeks after the attack that over a dozen intelligence agencies told them it would happen, and they chose to lower their defenses instead of prepare.

If you're referring to the Egyptian intel warning and the internal warning that hamas was training. There was a meeting to address those concerns booked for literally that day.

You also need to understand the context because in the west we think "oh a security threat we must address it immediately no matter how small". but isreal has so many threats and its a balancing act to allocate resources. From their report they were prioritizing responding to the Hezbollah forces on their northern border and they were fresh off a war with hamas where they thought they had destroyed a lot of hamas's capabilities. The idf admit they underestimated hamas's goals and didnt think they were interested in starting a war because of how obviously stupid it would be.

The IDF definitely fucked up thats not debated but there is no real credible case for it being intentionally orchestrated by isreal. The evidence is a bunch of explainable events that stringed together can look like a grand plan to those that want it to be true. If you want to hate isreal there is plenty of well supported cases to hate them for.

No I'm talking about the dozens of warnings in the year leading up to the attack

You trying to play revisionist doesn't work when we can still find the news articles.

Sensationalism, easy peasy finger pointing b/c this, that or whatever. Not picking sides. Just being pickier about journalism & all the sources. It is way more complex than the common dimwit (that common dimwit is me btw) can truly comprehend. The level of when, who & why. Yeah, that’s messed up. But what is truly messed up is our senses are being offended & it is just too much for some to think about. I guess this is why garbage journalism goes right along according to the wretched script.

The Israeli soldier testifying on video?

Why are all "credible" news outlets refusing to report on this?

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 month ago

They've already done an entire report on the failures. A solider saying he got a call to cancel a patrol is not enough evidence for the claim.

What do you think the IDF solider is testifying to by the way?
