Strongly suspect it was Netanyahu thinking “the populace sure does seem to hate me and my far right party of assholes… even military people dislike me. This calls for unity - we need a good old fashion war. But how does one war by oneself?”
Then he saw the calendar: the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war was right around the corner.
The idea that the IDF and Mossad were completely unaware that the 50th anniversary of one of the biggest conflicts in the history of Israeli-Arab relations was coming up and thought “this will be fine, let’s reduce the numbers at the gates and on the walls” simply does not pass the sniff test. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, I don’t think Israel invited the attack or thought it would be a massacre of this magnitude, but Bibi needed something to distract and this sure did work.
Fuck Hamas, anyone who’s willing to commit these kinds of war crimes needs to be destroyed. But Israel, when this shit is over, you need to figure some shit out, I do not for a second believe they don’t have calendars or history books or that ANYONE has forgotten the Yom Kippur party 50 years ago this week.
Hamas saw Russia and ISIS and said “hold my Nabidh and watch this!”
I think israel had many good reasons to suspect something was coming aside from the anni - apparently also multiple warnings from egypt - and either didn’t prep to the threat, or (as it seems with the deployment of forces) pulled soldiers off the wall and borders in multiple places.
doesn’t make hamas less bad, they’re def war criminals, but this is just… uncharacteristic for the Shin Bet/Mossad/MOI. No intelligence org is perfect, but damn… this is gonna require study.
