    You mean that a government with one of the most well funded intelligence services in the world, knew that an attack was coming from a region they completely control, from a manufactured rebel group they partly fund. And they let this attack happen, and their citizens die and used it as a casus belli to raze, and ethnically cleanse said region because they want to completely colonize and claim it as their own?

    That’s definitely a first in the history of humanity and I’m utterly shocked, really!

      not to forget Netanyahu’s government was in a pretty bad place and urgently needed some common enemy to save the day from

      Also they let the attack continue for 6 hours before showing up with forces despite being a 1 hour drive from their capital city and probably even closer to military bases. With a population that all serves in the military in their youth and many that proudly walk around armed, how did it take so long to organize a counter?

        Yeah, something tells me EDM festivals aren’t full of Likud voters, maybe leadership thought of it as 2 birds one stone

        They needed to have lunch and then a serious meeting to figure out what to do. You can’t make this kind of decision on an empty stomach!

      You left out the Hannibal directive part, but yeah.

    I’ve taken this for granted since the beginning… It seems incredibly suspect that such a powerful intelligence apparatus could not have known about such a wide spread attack.

      Egypt warned them months ahead.

        US intelligence confirmed within a week that Egypt had warned them repeatedly, and again a few days before the attack. So even if they missed it themselves(which is highly unlikely), they at a very minimum ignored the warnings.

        And when the PM quickly called that “fake news”, it should have been a pretty strong indication for most people.

    short note that presstv.ir is an iranian-run newspaper, so let’s better wait for confirmation from the UN or somebody less biased in this affair. still very interesting news though, and definitely imaginable.

    I will go one step further. Most wars are started with a false flag operation.

    This is my conspiracy theory with no evidence- 9/11, this thing, Pearl Harbor were all inside jobs. It is not that far fetched to think that governments would kill their own people to justify a war because they kill their soldiers anyways.

    Pearl Harbor, 9/11… for anyone outside of America/the West these people work in very predictable ways. It works too, so why not?
