Back when this was happening, my initial thought was "no way they didn't knew about this, they're allowing the incursion to start a war"

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 27 points 1 week ago

Start a war? No! The IDF even withdrew from the area before the attack, that's how much they didn't want a war!

Yep. Israli governments have been pushing Palestinian terrorism to further their own narratives/goals for a loooong time now.

in der konsequenz wirst du also auch noch hervorbringen, daß die Shoah eine wie auch immer orchestrierte vorbereitung der UN-resolution 181 war.

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Translation:

In consequence, you will also produce that the Shoah was an orchestrated preparation of UN resolution 181.

They weren't just warned, they extended the concert and moved its location so that it would be hit by the October 7th attack they knew was coming.

It's one of the most blatantly ghoulish acts of a government to sacrifice its own people to manufacture consent to ramp up genocide.

The fact it took this long for the New York times to admit what we all knew immediately after it happened and what people in the region knew about a week beforehand...

The warning, though vague, proved to be correct.

Reading the article, it doesn’t sound like one big conspiracy. The warning was not actionable: “something big is going to happen at some point”, and there were good reasons not to preemptively escalate: not wanting to risk a deal with Saudi Arabia.

Israels primary crime is not that they let this attack happen, it’s that they committed genocide.

Even if Netanyahu knew the exact method and time, do you think he would have acted to stop it ultimately or allow it to happen and use the attack as an excuse to massively hasten their genocide?

[–] criscodisco@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Right. This is the guy that said 9/11 was good for israel… on 9/11. He doesn’t seem like a man willing to waste an opportunity, no matter the cost.

[–] Retiredtoflorida@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Bullshit. When you're warned of an impending attack you double the people on the street and provide extra security at soft targets. You send out warnings to event organizer, especially a freaking music festival just miles from the border.

He didn't just know, he funded Hamas so they could attack

Stop falling for the trap, it's easy enough to avoid.

1950- "Hey guys, I'm pretty sure that if we attack ____________, there will be repercussions by ____________".

(repeat every month for 80 years)

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

I mean Hamas only existed because Netanyahu and the likud party was propping them up and had been for a long time. Or at least existed in the current form.

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemmus.org 9 points 1 week ago

I'll go one further and say nutty yahoo orchestrated an attack on his country in order to precipitate the imperialistic genocide he's unleashed on Palestine and Gaza.

Israel admitted they killed their own people during October 7 and bumped those death numbers up btw.

IDF statementsOn 18 December the IDF confirmed that Israeli combatants "fell as a result of friendly fire on October 7," but added that "beyond the operational investigations of the events, it would not be morally sound to investigate these incidents due to the immense and complex...

UN Commission reportA report by a UN Commission published in June 2024 found that the Israel Security Forces used the Hannibal Directive in several instances on October 7. In one example, a tank crew confirmed that they had applied the Hannibal Directive when they shot at a vehicle suspected of carrying kidnapped Israeli soldiers. The report also said that in two instances, Israeli forces "had likely applied the Hannibal Directive," resulting in the killing of at least 14 Israeli civilians.

He was on his way to jail before that attack though...

Let's be honest, there are always vague warnings, and there are always attacks, too. Thousands of missiles, stabbings, shootings, and bombings, attacks are always in the works and being committed by all.

I found this 4 year old video and it's really funny with modern day's context

So the NYTimes took some time off from framing hamas for rape to report negative information on netanyahu there, great guys. But they are only doing it because Israel has fallen to 1/3 support in the US. Fuck you, die NYTimes.
