I find it plausible that Israel leadership didn’t care. As if it’s impossible, whatever. If it was real, they could capitalize on it to push for genocide at a faster pace via playing the victim. As it was never going to take over the country.
The only surprise was that this time, a huge number of people aren’t buying the revenge is okay story.
yea same as 9/11
Huh, guess that wasn't quite such a hyperbolic comparison.
Turning it into a hyperbolic comparison immediately diffused just how apt the comparison is in other ways
fucking genius to go "this is just like 9/11" to get ahead of your critics who will be saying "this is just like 9/11" a month later
oh no, we're under attack. Guess we have
but to annex gaza. That's the last thing we wanted to do
They love “Shock Doctrine” as a business advice book.
Is that when you shove a cattle prod up a corpse's ass to shock its prostate and harvest the sperm?
Not only didn't care, but saw it as an opportunity (the article does not say this, of course)
Always being right about everything is a terrible burden for Marxists to carry.
Except Russia invading when it did, tbf.
in fairness to us, the state department was wrong dozens of times in a row and we were right about all the reasons we said "it would be a bad idea"
This is something that has been making me feel crazy since the beginning. The attack had so many participants in so many roles it would have taken years to plan and amass the arms, vehicles etc plus training. All of it happening in one of the most surveilled locations on earth, constantly overseen by the us and Israel, two of the supposedly most advanced military intelligence apparatuses in history, and they didn’t catch on that something big was being planned? Id love to believe that the two satans are truly paper tigers but I don’t buy it
What's not to buy? It's just typical colonizer arrogance, the same exact arrogance that led the French to getting massively owned at Dien Bien Phu. Plenty of people knew that Hamas was planning something, but Netanyahu wanted to focus on the West Bank because his voting base are settlers trying to push Palestinians out of the West Bank. There were militant operations at the West Bank throughout 2022 conducted by PIJ and the Lion's Den, so it's not completely fair to say Netanyahu was just sitting on his ass between 2021 and 2023.
There’s a genuine issue where big data is good for prosecuting people once you have a name, but doing it in reverse can be very difficult because there’s just so many that you get too many false positives to properly follow up on. Surveillance isn’t a panacea, for better and for worse, depending on the circumstance.
What do you call it when you get Deja-Vu regarding a previous bout of Deja-Vu?
That's the feeling.
I'm gonna call it Deja-Vu-Deux.
Deja-Vortrex
And the response was called too:
Yes, I hope those few negligent people face justice.
"please trust us guys, our surveillence technology is still epic, its just our actual people that are useless. PLEASE KEEP BUYING OUR SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY"
Lol. I know a lib who's been saying that the 7th was allowed to happen by Netanyahu. But they've got terminal Trump brain and think the whole thing is part of a plot to get Trump re-elected.
i knew day 1
"how can one of the most informed and sophisticated intelligence networks not have known of such a basic thing????"
gee sure is curious, huh
What happened to The Tenth Man? They just keep doing this lol
