Your article doesnt support the claim that isreal intentionally let it happen. It supports my claim that it was an explainable military failure. You are the one revising history to fit this conspiracy.
It seems like a big deal and conspiracy’s worthy if you dont understand the context at the time. There are constantly attacks being planned against isreal by their many enemies. Isreal uncovering this specific plan and reviewing it before deeming it to be unfeasible is a miscalculation but its not a surprising miscalculation. Its already been said that the IDF did not think that hamas would escalate to trigger a war and that was a miscalculation. But honestly its an understandable miscalculation when we see what’s happened since. Why the fuck would hamas do Oct 7 its so unbelievably stupid.
Also these “warnings” happened years to months before the actual attack. Is Isreal just suppose to forever prepare for the attack that they believe is unlikely even when there is a more credible threat on their northern border. Its not like they had no staff. It was a tough situation because hamas could always wait, there was no timer on when the attack needed to be launched.
All of this doesnt excuse isreals action in response and I think even hamas didnt expect them to go this far in retaliation.
Yeah you’re gonna keep telling yourself what you want to hear.
Im done with you
