Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally and explicitly warned that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major attack roughly 10 days before the October 7 massacre, but dismissed the threat and did not alert his security chiefs, according to a shocking new Haaretz report.

The revelations come from research for an upcoming book Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment, written by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, who writes for Haaretz.

    Old news, but hopefully it catches this time.

    They basically let Hamas attack and take hostages in order to have an excuse for the the current an ongoing genocide.

    It was my conspiracy theory from the beginning

    The Mossad knows what I ate for breakfast and didn’t know this?

    They were able to infiltrate into Hezbollah so deeply that they could control their supply chain, fake a whole pager company from scratch and hide a remotely controlled bomb in every communication device, yet could not have any evidence of the terrorist attack planned by hundreds of people?

    And by coincidence they had the excuse to start the purge and genocide?

        On that note, as someone who laughed off all the “9/11 was an inside job” conspiracy theorists at the time, who benefitted the most from 9/11?

      I’m not much of a conspiracy believer but Netanyahu said multiple times on camera that Hamas is good for Israel and given how surveiled Gaza was the theory that Israel allowed the attack is very convincing.

      I remember hearing about it, but not the source. It’s in character for Israel though. Israel doesn’t like Jews if they’re the “wrong” kind of Jew. If Hamas had targeted a military base or political gathering, it probably would have been stopped before hand.

    Didn’t they specifically reduce defenses in order to make sure it would be a big enough deal that they could play it for support of going on the offensive?

    Or has that been debunked now?

      The soldiers they removed from the border were sent to Cisjordania to help colonize it, so it’s entirely possible they just underestimated the threat and thought they could focus on expanding their colonial system elsewhere.
