I wonder why Israel ignored the information that Egypt gave them, warning them about the attack?

I'm sure an embattled, ultranationalist racist like Bibi, whose own populace has been demonstrating against him for months, surely wouldn't sacrifice some of his own to create an opportunity like this... /s

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." (or being very full of oneself)

Hanlon's Razor is about guarding against unlikely explanations, not discarding explanations that actually fit with a pattern of behavior. Literally anything can be attributed to stupidity if you try.

Bibi has been supportive of and overseeing the murder of Palestinians for decades, and ignoring and suppressing moderate, non-Zionist Jews in Israel, but this one time malice is the less likely explanation? Nah.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
