We already knew Egyptian intelligence warned Israel ahead of Oct. 7 and the Netanyahu govt dismissed it. Now we learn UAE leader MBZ warned Bibi directly that Hamas was about to try something big. He dismissed that too. One of the worst security failures in history. And followed by so much awful.

The Israeli prime minister, who is facing several opponents as he aims to hold onto power in Israel's upcoming elections, scheduled for October 27, reportedly told the UAE president that Israel was prepared for any attack and that the government believed Hamas was planning to operate in the West Bank.

He did not inform security or intelligence leaders about the information he received from the bin Zayed, Haaretz reported.

Nutinyahoo wanted the attack to justify him ethnic cleansing Gaza and taking the land.

Although he should receive the Piazzale Loreto treatment, Nuttyahoo isn't the problem. Ethnosupremacist Zionism is the problem. Remove Nuttyahoo and the problem still exists.

Israel can no longer talk their way out of the ---- they are in. Not now, not ever.

So, PM Netyanahu warned warned about pending attacks upon the Country he served, and he seems to have just ignored that warning?

Why?

Might he have actually wanted the attacks to promote his hatred?

To promote the hatred, stir up the public, and help him to stay out of prison. He and his wife are under indictment.

Read or watch "The Looming Tower." Our president and VP knew Al Qaeda were warned yet did nothing (even after the FBI sent a senior agent down to W's Crawford Ranch to warn him. W dismissed the agent saying, "okay, you covered your ass. You can leave now."

W or Cheney never even warned airports to ban potential weapons, or allowed items like knives and box cutters.

Bush's poll numbers were tanking. Cheney had already planned the invasion of Iraq. They needed the attack too.

I hope he goes down in flames in the election, then to prison after his conviction on multiple counts of corruption.

D/Mossad David Barnea knew exactly why the Palestinians conducted the 7 Oct 2023 raid: Seize as many Israelis as possible to conduct prisoner swaps. Two such deals were made in Nov 2023.

The IDF had been holding thousands of Palestinians in detention without hearing or trial, so thie was the only alternative the Gazans had of securing fathers, brothers, sons, cousins, or nephews.

During the entirety of 2024, useless USSECSTATE Antony Blinken shuttled back and forth eleven times to "release the hostages," something Benjamin Netanyahu could have easily done by springing any of the thousands of Palestinians in IDF clutches.

2024 was a grand kabuki theater and a nauseating drumbeat of "the hostages."

Blah-blah-blah.

"Genocide Joe" and the 2024 Democrats ignored ten million pacifists and Samaritans -- like Hubert Humphrey in 1968 -- and now we have Trumpf 2.0.

The math is quite simple between Tuesdays 3 Nov 2020 and 5 Nov 2024.


"FUNNY"

Reminds me of when Kissinger and Nixon tanked the 1968 Vietnam Peace Talks telling (then) South Vietnam that they would get a better deal after Nixon became President. Many thousands of Americans died before peace actually prevailed...leaders sometimes like chaos as it terrorizes the people and makes them more vulnerable to manipulation.
Not sure who is a worse leader of a nation, Netanyahu or Trump, or Nixon.

Did Israel tell Bush of the false flag operation they ran on 9/11?

Haaretz also reported that Hamas immediately offered to release all the Israeli hostages it had taken in the attack, demanding nothing in return...

And if anyone believes that, they will believe anything else from Haaretz, which has been at war with Netanyahu and Likud for a long time, especially since 2025 when they have seen their subscriptions plummet due to boycott:

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg wrote: "I like a lot of the people at Haaretz, and many of its positions, but the cartoonish anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism can be grating."


Reading Haaretz to "learn" about Likud is like reading NY Post to "learn" about Bidens or Obamas.

MBZ of UAE denied any specific knowledge, warning or even having a conversation with PMO, Shin Bet or Mossad about October 7 attack. Logs of any such calls from UAE at the time also don't exist. Also, there was no information transmitted from MBZ or anyone from UAE to the US intelligence or State Dept, which would be unusual if they had such information.


Bombshell' Report Says UAE Explicitly Warned Netanyahu of October 7 Attack.

Just in time before Oct 27 elections in Israel, and pushing the upcoming "bombshell" book of two Haaretz authors... based on "information" provided by UAE-based senior PA official Mohammad Dahlan.

"The real affair that was discovered in the last two days is blatant foreign interference in the elections in Israel. The person behind the false report in Haaretz newspaper is senior Palestinian official Mohammad Dahlan, who sits in the Emirates... for the purpose of PA gaining authority over Gaza."

The statement also noted a secret visit to UAE of Yair Golan and former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar two months before the "bombshell" publication.

Likud is filing an "election interference" lawsuit against Haaretz and demanding criminal investigation into authors and "co-conspirators" Democratic Party - successor of merged Labor Party in 2024.


This is similar to debunked and later retracted three separate UN / UNWR "reports" of Israel "starvation policy of Gazans", based on Hamas Ministry of Health testimony, despite evidence of exactly opposite - Hamas-controlled distribution of food diverted and later sold at exorbitant prices massive amounts of food delivered to Gaza.

Meanwhile, in real life:

Cisco bought an Israeli cybersecurity company Astrix for $400M

Greece is buying $3.4B Israeli air defense system 'Achilles Shield'

German Navy successfully tested launching IAI's LORA ballistic missiles

Several EU / NATO countries are interested in defense technologies and systems from Israeli companies

Iran is successfully rearming with Chinese, Russian and their own missiles

Hamas is losing commanders in "low-grade war" but keeps rearming while Witkoff and Kushner clown show was visiting and making statements about Hamas "need to disarm" in the Middle East tour

Hezbollah is rearming while the Lebanese army is not capable of securing the zone


In the latest polls, Netanyahu's Likud and former IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar parties are well ahead of others. Whichever party gets most seats will try to form the government.

If you "like" Bibi, you'll "love" Gadi.

That's always a "winning" argument. I expected nothing less.
