Shin Bet: Bibi's Policies Paved Way for 7 Oct Attack

Report by security agency says 'policy of quiet' towards Hamas allowed it to build up resources for 2023 attack

The gunmen attacked to seize Israeli hostages because thousands of Palestinians were being held in security detention for years without trial or hearing. Amnesty International reported many Palestinians were tortured in those military prisons. With no way to get these captives freed, Hamas took hostages for a prisoner swap. Two trades took place in Nov 2023 before Bibi unleashed the full-scaled Nakba during the entire year of 2024.

Palestinians have been systemically abused and detained by the IDF for decades, like this shoeless victim in the link. Look at the hateful expressions on the faces of the IDF soldiers: https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2016/09/22/08/israeli-kicking-

Just like Trump's policies are paving the way for the next terrorist attacks on US soil.

Trump's policies are the next terrorist attacks on US soil.

Edited for accuracy.

"Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet, has said Benjamin Netanyahu's policies were among the underlying causes of the 7 Oct 2023"

Sure feels like all of us libs have been saying that since Oct 7, 2023...

Isreal's own money led to the attacks.

"attack in which Hamas and other militants killed about 1,200 Israelis and seized 251 captives."

"Hamas and other militants"

The only other militant of note that day was IDF.

Israel's Irgun government will never report on how many Israelis they killed that day, following their Hannibal Directive.

But I would guess around 25% of total fatalities, both military and civilian, including the hostages later deliberately killed by IDF.

Was it giving security agencies the weekend off? Was it paying hamas cash to stay quiet? Was it watching hamas practice before the attack? Which flaw?

Was it Trump sharing Israeli intelligence with Putin, which was in turn shared with Hamas?

This whole thing reeks of the Rabbi who spray paints the Swastika on his own Synagogue.

Frankly I'm losing interest in the eternal hell hole and war mongering state they call the Middle East. The USA has enough internal problems without adding theirs. The NYT reported much earlier that the events surrounding 10-7 were well known in advance. So maybe someone wanted the outrageous events of 10-7 to proceed and thus provide a new reason for more war and death. The first step should have been to rescue innocent hostages. I'm more than tired of hearing about it.

Entangling alliances are rarely ever to our nations benefit. They benefit others.

Frankly, Scarlett, no one gives a damn.

Now do Ukraine.

The long promised investigation into the Oct. 7 attacks, the business of figuring out what happened, who did their jobs and who effed up, how's that coming along?

Now do Ukraine.

#11 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

You have been warned about Ukraine. Just as you were warned about Iraq Afghanistan and Donald J Trump.

But you don't listen to anything "libs" have to say so what's the point? Also it's probably way too late now.

Welcome to Trumplandia.

Zionism is a political ideology which upholds the decision by western countries to drop an abusive apartheid ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization in historic Palestine and then defend it by any amount of violence and tyranny necessary.

The majority of the people you see defending this evil are non-Jewish westerners with no connection to the Jewish faith, so to equate Zionism solely with Judaism (and vice-versa) is just a casus belli to crack down on righteous dissent and, more broadly, free speech.

For instance, in Australia you can be arrested and sentenced to months in prison by simply uttering "Zionism is terrorism" : archive.is

You can be sentenced to prison in an otherwise progressive and democratic state for simply pointing to the overwhelming evidence that zionists have been terrorizing the native Palestinian peoples for almost 100 years.

Positively, er, Trumpian. Coming soon to the red white and blue near you.
