Not that ANY intelligent person didnt know this already....
Based on the testimony of an Israeli soldier, the analysis presented argues that the events of October 7th were not an intelligence failure but a calculated political maneuver. The soldier, speaking before a
Knesset committee, recounted receiving a stunning order at
5:20 AM to
halt all patrols along the Gaza border, leaving the perimeter unsecured just an hour before the Hamas attack commenced; this directive was delivered without any rationale from a commander who admitted his own confusion.
This event is framed as the culmination of a deliberate strategy by
Benjamin Netanyahu's government, allegedly designed to achieve two primary goals: first, to create a powerful pretext for a
military operation to clear Gaza and seize the land, and second, to rally the nation around him, thereby deflecting from his
ongoing corruption trials. The soldier, who lost a leg in the attack, described his own dawning realization that the official explanation of a
sniper threat was illogical, as front-line troops like himself were never warned.
The broader argument is that this incident fits a long-standing Israeli policy of
covertly supporting Hamas over the more moderate PLO, in order to maintain a radicalized enemy that makes a two-state solution appear impossible. The ease with which Hamas breached the world's most heavily surveilled border is presented not as a lapse, but as proof of this design.
Ultimately, the attack is portrayed as being tantamount to a
false flag operation, where Israeli lives were intentionally sacrificed to advance a ruthless political agenda. The soldier's personal tragedy is thus positioned as the direct, foreseeable outcome of a cynical state-level betrayal.
