The Hamas invasion of last Saturday has become one of the worst attacks on Israel in the state’s past 50 years of history, resulting in deaths, injuries, and abductions of well over a thousand Israelis. Media stories could not sensationalize this brutal attack enough to spark a violent response from the Netanyahu government. But what lies beyond the obvious in the story where one of the world’s top-notch national intelligence failed so miserably?
On Saturday, October 7, when Israel was attacked by Hamas militants, people started asking one big question: how come Israeli defense failed to stop the invasion at the fence. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who famously exposed the Obama administration’s illegal spying on American citizens, tweeted the same. He asked: “How could the government’s oppressive surveillance miss a sprawling conspiracy involving thousands?”
Snowden seemingly said it without saying it – the Israeli intelligence was letting the terrifying attack happen, if not really being actively in on it. And Snowden really isn’t alone in pointing a finger at the Israeli intel for the violent invasion into the country. Comments expressing rejection of the intel’s ignorance poured in on another related tweet of Snowden.
The question that naturally arises out of such speculation relates the motive, or the larger target behind the obvious mark. Why would Israeli intel want to let Hamas inflict terror on its land? It does take a little bit to connect the dots, but not very hard to see the political jigsaw here. Let’s connect a few main pieces to see if we get something of a picture.
First, the big piece with obvious signs – the political rift between Netanyahu and Israeli intel community. Last month, the Associated Press published a story about the “unprecedented opposition” of 180 former officials from various Israeli agencies – Mossad, Shin Bet, military, and police – against Netanyahu’s government. The story wrote:
But for dozens of former Israeli security commanders, the policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government are the biggest threat yet to the country’s future.
Earlier in the year (April), leaked official Pentagon documents made news for claiming that Mossad was behind the protests against Netanyahu’s government proposed judicial reforms – a political battle that has haunted Netanyahu’s government ever since. Both Netanyahu and Mossad denied the reports, but the reports hinted at Mossad’s secretive anti- Netanyahu designs.
The recent terror attack by Hamas, seen widely as the result of obvious intel failure makes sense in the context of the previous hidden and open dislike of Mossad and other intel agency officials toward Netanyahu. Immediately after the attack, the left-leaning newspaper Haaretz blamed Netanyahu for the worst security failure in the country’s history and demanded that he stepped down. That likely was the goal of the country’s intel leadership to bring down Netanyahu’s political image and pressure him out of power. But was that the only goal? Apparently not.
It was natural for Netanyahu to assert his political power as a leader to payback Hamas by ordering instant and powerful armed counter-attack on Gaza, the stronghold of Hamas. The reaction in the surrounding Muslim region would be further attacks as the dominos of war start falling and hitting others. And if the globalist establishment, led by US agencies, could drag powers like Russia into it, the next big war would mean a shitload of taxpayer’s money going straight into the Department of Defense with little to no accountability.
A glimpse of this effort was seen soon after the Hamas attack when President Zelenskyy of Ukraine went on video to claim that he has data proving Russia is behind the war in Israel:
Zelenskyy’s statement read much like the globalist war-mongering web would like it – make Russia a party to the war – and the Israeli intel likely looked forward to it along with the pro-war US/NATO group. But Netanyahu appeared to have sensed it and his ambassador to Russia, Alexander Ben Zvi, stated on Wednesday (October 11) that his government sees these claims as nothing but “pure conspiracy.”
The People’s Voice posted commentary along the same lines of speculation and claimed that they even have in inside unmade/anonymous official source confirming the whole attack was a false flag to start the “Holy War.” Their claim, however, remains unverified so far.
At a time when the Republican-led House of Representatives is denying more free cash flow to Ukraine, the globalist warmongers see the need for a new big war, something where big “anti-American” powers can be made a party and let the congress remove any blocking of the funds for war. It won’t be surprising to find out in due time the unofficial collaboration between Israeli and western world’s intel machinery for launching a major war in the Middle East while baiting Netanyahu’s government into it. For them it would be a win-win, that is, unless Netanyahu and Israel’s adversaries in the Middle East realize how they are being played into a new war where they have nothing to win but more loss, misery, and devastation of the region.
