It's wild how many people buy into that conspiracy theory -- or that someone could call something so bonkers the "only reasonable conclusion." Security is Netanyahu's central promise to Israelis. There is nothing that could be more damaging to him than appearing weak or incompetent on security. It's the most tortured logic that would have you conclude that having the worst attack in the history of the country occur on his watch could somehow be good for him. His political career is over, his legacy is in tatters, and he'll no longer be able to out-manoeuver his legal problems.

Not to mention that he'd be executed for treason if he was complicit in the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Being disgraced, discredited, or dead doesn't help Netanyahu meet his goals.

It's typical antisemitism to invent conspiracies to blame the jews for the ills of the world.
