Unacknowledged False Flags: The October 7th Hamas Attack – Part 2

Iain Davis

In Part 1 we looked at the official account of the October 7th Hamas Attack. In addition to a rocket barrage on multiple targets and maritime assaults, an estimated 2,900 Hamas-aligned “terrorists” breached the Israeli “Iron Wall” defences surrounding Gaza in 29 separate locations simultaneously.

The “terrorists” took out all the vital communication infrastructure and key Israeli strategic positions, thus leaving Israeli defences unable to respond for many hours. The attack surprised the Israeli intelligence community which was taken off guard by the scale and speed of the Hamas Attack.

Before we start to examine the evidence revealing the absurdity of the official account we should pause to think about what the word “terrorist” means.

There is no clear definition of “terrorism” in international law. The UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-terrorism, Professor Ben Saul, points out that the “ordinary meaning of terrorism is simple: extreme fear.”

So why is the Hamas Attack considered an act of terrorism while the Israeli firebombing of Palestinian children in their schools, refugee camps and hospital beds is called an act of war?

Saul notes that intergovernmental consensus determines terrorism to be:

“criminal violence intended to intimidate a population or coerce a government or international organisation; some national laws add a further specific intention to advance a political, religious, or ideological cause.”

As Hamas represents the government of the Palestinian people of Gaza, the murder of thousands of Palestinian children by the Israeli government is, by definition, “criminal violence intended to intimidate a population [and] coerce a government.” If international law meant anything at all, the Israeli response to the Hamas Attack would also be called an act of “terrorism.”

It isn’t of course because “international law” is just a fabricated stick wielded by the powerful to oppress whomever. It enables governments to claim the “legal authority” to kill indiscriminately. When they can’t obtain that “legal” approval the most powerful governments don’t pay any heed to its absence and murder people anyway.

Over the years, the Israeli government has completely ignored numerous binding and non-binding UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. So What? It doesn’t mean anything. The application and enforcement of “international law” is as arbitrary as the designation of terrorist groups.

The intergovernmental consensus on “terrorism,” then, is an overtly political propaganda construct. “Might is right” is the full extent of this international legalese drivel and labels like “terrorist” are stuck on some violent aggressors but not others for purely propagandist reasons.

This does not excuse mass murder, such as that perpetrated by Hamas during its October 7th Attack. It is merely to point out that calling the Hamas Attack “terrorism” but then refusing to call Israeli barbarity “terrorism” is so hypocritical it renders the whole “terrorism” concept moot. We should either apply the terrorist designation to all, including governments, who systematically slaughter innocent people to cause “extreme fear,” or to none.

Hamas Attack: Intelligence Failures?

In October 2024 the Combating Terrorism Center (CTR) at the US West Point military training academy produced analysis of the Israeli Intelligence “failings” that supposedly led to the “surprise” October 7th Hamas Attack. The CTR analysis provides us with a reasonably full official account:

Hamas leaders themselves have noted the group’s surprise at the ease with which its operatives breached the barrier separating the Gaza Strip from Israel, as well as the slowness of the Israeli response. [. . .] Israel misread Hamas’ intentions. [. . .] Shin Bet [Israeli domestic intelligence – ISA] has been primarily responsible for HUMINT [human intelligence] in Gaza and Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate (AMAN) for SIGINT [signals intelligence]. Israel had managed to collect some information that could have been considered indicators pointing to the attack. [. . .] [F]or more than a year before October 7, the IDF had reportedly been in possession of a document, the “Jericho Wall” file, that outlines a plan to invade Israel that largely corresponds to the October 7 events. [. . .] [I]n July 2023, a non-commissioned officer in AMAN’s 8200 SIGINT unit warned that a recent exercise by the group “closely followed the Jericho Wall plan, and that Hamas was building the capacity to carry it out.” [. . .] the Gaza Division subsequently prepared a document warning that Hamas was planning a large-scale invasion and intended to take up to 250 hostages. [. . .] Unit 8200 sent another warning to a number of IDF officers a few days before October 7, urging them to make preparations to minimize the impact of the expected attack. [. . .] [T]he head of AMAN’s “Devil’s Advocate” or “Red Team” unit [. . .] issued four warnings in the three weeks before October 7 that Hamas “would soon launch a confrontation with Israel, because it identified deep processes that were fundamentally changing the strategic situation.” [. . .] [N]either Shin Bet nor AMAN were able to detect additional indicators and suspicious activities. [. . .] Israel’s inability to detect the impending attacks was not the result of a single glaring failure but rather the result of multiple problems at different levels and across the various intelligence services and the top political and military echelons.

The official narrative, then, is that despite the frankly massive amount of intelligence suggesting an attack was imminent, multiple intelligence “failures” combined to enable Hamas to stroll through the Iron Wall [Gaza prison wall] defences and carry out their Attack.

The CTR observation that “neither Shin Bet nor AMAN were able to detect additional indicators” is pointless. Both Shin Bet and AMAN operatives gave ample warning and provided quite specific intelligence suggesting an attack was imminent. What need was there for any “additional indicators”?

As reported by the New York Times, and mentioned by the CTR, In April 2022 IDF military intelligence (AMAN) had come into possession of a Hamas strategic plan which AMAN code named “Jerricho Wall.” This was the blueprint for the Hamas Attack. The NYT reported:

Hamas followed the blueprint [Jericho Wall] with shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on motorcycles and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7.

On September 12th, four weeks before the Attack, Hamas produced its customary “Strong Pillar” training exercise video. While this was an annual Hamas propaganda event, nonetheless it showed Hamas training for “Jerricho Wall.” The Associated Press reported that the video showed Hamas:

[U]sing explosives to blast through a replica of the border gate, sweep in on pickup trucks and then move building by building through a full-scale reconstruction of an Israeli town, firing automatic weapons at human-silhouetted paper targets.

That no one in Israeli intelligence supposedly took any of this seriously is stretching “failure” plausibility to breaking point. But even if it was attributable to failures, the suggestion that the Hamas Attack came as a “surprise” is idiotic.

The Jewish Virtual library reported that IDF intelligence chief Aharon Ze’evi-Farkash acknowledged that “Jerricho Wall” revealed that “Hamas was not deterred.”

Yet, in July 2023, when an AMAN Unit 8200 officer said that training exercises that looked just like “Jerricho Wall” were escalating, adding that they did not look like preparation for “just a raid on a village” but rather “a plan designed to start a war,” that too was ignored by the Israeli chain of command.

It wasn’t just Israeli intelligence that warned of an impending attack either. Menachem Gida, leader of a team of 26 Israeli hobbyists—who routinely monitored Gaza’s communications network—repeatedly warned the IDF about the likely attack. They were openly discussing it on their “Field Security Operational Monitor” WhatsApp group.

The civilians reportedly appraised the IDF, in the days leading up to the attack, that Hamas was “practicing the breaching of the fence and arriving from the sea, conquering kibbutzim such as Zikim, Netiv Ha’asara and Nir Oz, seizing hostages and destroying everything.”

Yifat Ben Shoshan, a resident of Netiv HaAsara and a tour guide for Israeli towns and Kibbutzim on the Gazan border, was interviewed by the Kan 11 radio station a few days before the Hamas Attack. She said:

I hope Hamas isn’t planning a second Yom Kippur. [. . .] For years they had been gradually improving their capabilities, especially their rocket system. And they’d been training for weeks right up against the border, sometimes in massive numbers. I tried to warn the officers, but they told me I didn’t know anything about it and that I was safe.

Shoshan recognised that the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, (October 6th 1973) when Egypt and Syria launched a “surprise” attack on Israel, was of particular symbolic significance for Hamas and represented a moment of heightened risk. Yet, we are told, no one in an Israeli position of authority managed to make this mental leap.

Instead, the decision was made to concentrate 25 IDF Battalions in the West Bank and leave just 4 guarding Gaza over the anniversary period. On October 5th 2023, two elite commando companies were moved from Gaza to the West Bank, leaving just 600 regular IDF soldiers (conscripts) spread thinly along the Gazan border.

Supposedly, the policy of arming Israeli settlers is to enable them to defend themselves against “terrorist” attacks, rather than kill unarmed Palestinians as often seems to be the case—especially in the West Bank.

Yet, in the years and months leading up to the Hamas Attack, civilians on the Gazan border, such as local security coordinators Rafi Babian, had protested vigorously against the IDF program of removing weapons from southern border communities.

As noted by West Point’s CTR, AMAN Unit 8200 operatives operating in the Gazan Division gave very precise warnings about the looming Hamas Attack, even down to accurate estimates of how many hostages they were planning to take. Military spotters and observers at places like the Nahal Oz observation room, and civilians alike, had evidently been reporting increasing Hamas activity. A Unit 8200 operative sent an email to her superiors just three weeks before the Attack saying:

The sword is coming [. . .] warn the people. [. . .] The other side is determined in its intentions to carry out its plan. If the plan is implemented painful and difficult fighting is expected.

Israeli government officials denied receiving intelligence alerts from Egypt three days prior to the Hamas attack. Post the attack, this led Egypt’s intelligence minister to state:

We have warned them [Israeli intelligence] an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings.

“Underestimated” appears to be diplomatic code for “completely ignored.”

All this intelligence perhaps explains why, the night before the Hamas Attack, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar and Aharon Haliva, head of military intelligence, met to discuss why Hamas was mobilising. Although perhaps it doesn’t because they didn’t alert anyone nor try to strengthen any Israeli defences and took absolutely no precautionary measures whatsoever.

In the weeks leading up to the Hamas Attack what “additional indicators” did any Israeli intelligence chief or military commander need to call for regional defences to be strengthened? Instead the process of weakening them continued.

The Israeli news outlet Haaretz wrote:

The IDF and Shin Bet had no intelligence warning to indicate Hamas’ intention of invading Israel in large numbers. The Southern Command even allowed the transfer to the West Bank of three battalions who operated in the sector, in order to reinforce the troops there over the holiday.

No intelligence warnings?

Haaretz went on to say that on the day of the attack “Southern Command and the Gaza Regiment collapsed completely”—precisely because there weren’t “enough troops in the sector to deploy.” It seems the skeleton cohort of remaining troops—many of them women soldiers—and the Israeli settlers in the region had been left practically undefended at exactly the wrong time.

But the alleged intelligence “failures” didn’t stop there. In the years prior to the Hamas attack, Israeli intelligence capabilities over and within Gaza were eye-watering. Israel operates a fleet of satellites enabling it to monitor Gaza from space. Ofek-13 SAR systems enabled it to view Gazans in all weather and cloud conditions, night and day, with a ground resolution of 0.5m2.

PIC

The Hermes 900 drones, with both electro-optical (EO) and infra-red (IR) sensors, thermal surveillance monitors, laser designation targeting and electronic listening devices, were just one of a number of Israeli drone systems deployed over Gaza prior to the Hamas Attack. The Cyclone drone system was used both for spying and for crowd control.

In 2021 Israel was the first country to deploy an AI-controlled drone swarm to locate, identify and attack its enemies. Israel’s drone surveillance of Gaza was so pervasive it led Gazans to complain of sleep deprivation due to the persistent “buzz” in the skies above their heads.

Israel’s cyber and electronic warfare capabilities were just as comprehensive. Again, in 2021, the US administration banned the commercial use of Israeli defence contractor NSO’s Pegasus spyware. It was able to hack pretty much any internet-enabled device—particularly mobile phones—through various software vulnerabilities. Pegasus could harvest personal and location data, control a mobile phone’s microphones and cameras—without the user’s knowledge or permission—and transmit data even after the user has switched the phone off.

Israel’s human (on the ground – HUMINT) intelligence prowess was equally formidable. Shin Bet HUMINT led the IDF to frequently intercept and shut down Hamas border tunnels. Shin Bet’s infiltration of Hamas’ literal underground network was so exhaustive, and Hamas so destabilised, that Hamas resorted to mass executions of suspected spies and possible collaborators. Shin Bet’s Mista’arvim counter-terrorism unit and the IDF’s elite Maglan unit were able to conduct targeted assassinations and many other acts of espionage and surveillance inside Gaza.

In addition to all of this, the Palestinians were the most surveilled and searched people on Earth. Everyone who entered or or left Gaza was subjected to the “Blue Wolf” system. Biometric ID, monitored by facial recognition software, combined with strictly controlled entry and exit permits were required at the armed checkpoints that were the only official way in an out of Gaza. The “Blue Wolf” system logged every movement on what Israeli intelligence operatives called “Facebook for Palestinians.” So extensive and intrusive was Israel’s spying on Palestinians that, in 2014, former members of Israel’s Unit 8200 wrote a joint letter to the Israeli government protesting the oppressive surveillance.

All of this electronic surveillance and human intelligence was scrutinised by the IDF Unit 9900. The Gaza-specific battlefield intelligence collection unit analysed the harvested data before deploying units of its Gaza Division, under IDF Southern Command, to strike Hamas and other “terrorist” targets.

There is absolutely no evidence at all to suggest the Israeli authorities decided to stop Satellite, cyber, SIGINT and HUMINT intelligence gathering in, around and above Gaza in the years leading up to the Hamas Attack. If the official narrative of intelligence “failures” is to be believed, however, then all of it must have “failed” completely…for years.

Ali Baraka, the head of external relations for Hamas, said that preparations for the Hamas Attack took two years. Given the complexity and scale of the Hamas Attack this seems reasonable. If so, it implies that, for two years, Hamas commanders—most of its leaders lived in Doha but commanders like Mohammed Deif operated inside Gaza—met to formulate and communicate Hamas plans as required. Hamas issued the corresponding orders, assembled, trained and equipped its forces, gathered and stored the munitions and equipment needed for the large-scale assault and somehow managed to do all of this without once triggering a single Israeli intelligence alert.

What is even more remarkable is that immediately after the Hamas Attack, Israel’s vice like intelligence grip of anything that moves in Gaza was suddenly working again.

By 11th November 2023, Shin Bet operatives were deep inside Hamas territory directing IDF strikes and coordinating assassinations. It seems the monstrous Israeli intelligence machine only failed totally—in every single conceivable regard—in respect to the October 7th Hamas Attack.

Hamas, by comparison, supposedly suffered no such catastrophic intelligence failures. They apparently used the cheap drones they probably bought from Amazon to make quite precise maps and gather targeting information for their October 7th Attack. Flying their little drones over highly sensitive Israeli military installations for days, with ease, they also gathered HUMINT from Israeli labourers who passed to-and-fro, across the Gaza border, without one Israeli intelligence officer thinking to ask any labourer what they were chatting to Hamas about. Or so we are told.

So, it appears Hamas was spying on Israeli military targets with abandon and training out in the open in large numbers next to the wall; Israeli civilians living near the Gazan border knew an attack was likely and, indeed, imminent and said so; numerous Israeli intelligence operatives issued highly accurate alerts; foreign intelligence agencies knew what was about to happen and told Israeli government officials about it; the Israeli government had a dossier outlining the precise plan—Jericho Wall—and Hamas even broadcast a video showing themselves training to execute that plan just weeks before carrying it out.

In addition, Gazan’s were relentlessly surveilled, their movement monitored and controlled. Intelligence operatives were evidently working inside Gaza and it was under intense scrutiny at all times by an almost unbelievable array of spy satellites, drones, bugs, cyber-surveillance and a smorgasbord of Israeli SIGINT tools.

But the Hamas Attack came as a complete surprise and no one in Israeli authority was prepared to defend against it.

One of the excuses given, evidently in hope of explaining the inexplicable “failures,” is that Israel’s over-reliance on technology and AI led it to undervalue information gathered from traditional human intelligence (HUMINT). This is not a plausible argument.

The overwhelming weight of evidence shows that neither Israeli technological surveillance-based intelligence nor human intelligence was lacking. There was no “failure” of human intelligence-gathering. Intelligence operatives, military observers and even civilian volunteers knew what was happening and did everything they could to raise the alarm.

The are only two viable explanations. Either everything that is known about Israeli intelligence capabilities is wrong and Israeli intelligence is actually worse than useless, or high-level decisions were made to deliberately ignore intelligence warnings.

As we shall see in Part 3, the manner in which Israeli forces responded on the day only adds further evidence that indicates the October 7th Hamas Attack was—from the Israeli perspective—at the very least, a LIHOP false flag operation, which appears to have strayed into MIHOP on more than one occasion.

Sometimes both sides in a war can desire the same sequence of events but for different reasons. This is the case with the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023 and Israel’s response. Hamas was not surprised, it was exactly that for what their planners hoped.

The fact is that World events were moving decisively against a reasonable future for the Palestinians and only desperate actions offered any slim hope of reversing this. Israeli hasbara had won, the defamation of Palestine starting in the 50’ies when the US drew up its definition of terrorism specifically to capture Palestinians has worked to completely turn the people that matter in the Euro North American Empire and thus their pseudo democratic governments in favor of regrettably accepting Israel doing a final solution to the Palestinian question. The only hope the Palestinians have is so disgust their populations with Israel and their governments’ actions to the extent of provoking protests of unmanageable levels.

Hamas hopes that they have prompted Israel to go far too far and it looks as if they have succeeded.

“Exept that Israel knew what Hamas were going to do and therefore all talk of expectations should revolve around Israel.”

Your missing my point. Both Israel and Hamas wanted October 7 but hoped for different outcomes. Israel of course wanted a final solution to the Palestinian question which the Zionists have hoped for since the last decade of the nineteenth century. Hamas leaders I suspect hoped that Israel would overdo its response as it has in fact done turning the World’s populations (but not their rulers) against it.

Whether it ultimately benefit the living Palestinians is another question. It is quite possible that by the time that the ruling classes of the Western Empire actually react there may be only a few thousand Palestinians left and they may think it more practical to accept them as refugees and yield Gaza and the West Bank to Eretz Yisrael.

The plastic chair was brought there by the photographer and journalist team who took the photo to have something to sit on when they needed a rest.

Ok. we understand you imagines a staged (fake) photo, where the only items on the photo should be pure misery taken just 1 minute after the bomb/missile exploded yes?

You dont imagine to see a photo taken 2-4 weeks after the bomb (real photo) with good items from the thus present reality.
You want the fake photo to be the real photo to believe it, and you will condemn the real photo as a fake photo if it is taken and reported in real time.

The reason why I take your comment up, is that I see it as a good example on how brainwashed people have become to the 10 hr per day screen fantasy world.

It’s a given that if a people, such as the Palestinians in Gaza,
are constantly under life-threatening pressure they will eventually
revolt… Which is the way you MIHOP, and why you LIHOP…
And though you’ve made sure that a revolt happens, you can

Before October 7th 2022..

“ Some 17 years ago an Israeli general and government minister threatened Gaza with a “Shoah” – a word until then reserved for the Holocaust. The trajectory in Gaza has been unwavering ever since

There are too many pundits, like the interminably dim-witted Piers Morgan, who are slowly, oh-so-slowly coming round to the idea that Israel might be committing a genocide in Gaza. But of course, they are still dismissing as “antisemites” those of us who pointed out from the start that it was a genocide.

They hope to get away with this face-saving ploy only because the establishment media continues to ignore what happened before 7 October 2023, events that over many years had made clear Israel was readying to commit genocide – and would grasp a pretext when it arrived.

Here is a brief outline of some of the most pertinent factors:

1. In early 2008 – that is, 17 years ago – deputy defence minister Matan Vilnai, a former senior Israeli general, threatened that Gaza would face a “Shoah” – a word until then, strictly reserved for the Holocaust.

2. He did so shortly after Israel implemented what would become a near two-decade siege of Gaza. Israel had already surrounded the enclave with a heavily militarised fence, made its territorial waters off-limits, and bombed its only airport. From then on, food was tightly rationed, or what Israeli leaders called “putting Gaza on a diet”, while swaths of the enclave were intermittently destroyed by Israeli bombing, or what Israeli leaders called “mowing the lawn”. Gaza was effectively turned into a concentration camp.

3. The siege was complemented by Israel’s gradual destruction of Gaza’s means of self-sufficiency: any fishing off its coast was stopped; Israel regularly sprayed herbicide on the enclave’s agricultural land; Israel eradicated Gaza’s industrial sector by making exports almost impossible; and Israel regularly bombed Gaza’s electricity and desalination plants, limiting the essentials of water and power.

4. The goal was clear: to make Gaza entirely dependent on Israel’s goodwill, of which there was almost none, and at the same time utterly dependent on aid. In tandem, Israel started waging a deceitful campaign claiming UN aid organisations were linked to Hamas “terror” in the hope it could use this as a rationalisation for impeding aid, as it has done with great ferocity since 7 October 2023, and ultimately for taking over for itself all aid provision, as it has also managed to do in recent months with the creation of an Israeli-US front group, the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation”.

5. With this as the background, the United Nations warned a decade ago that Gaza was likely to become uninhabitable by 2020. That was a major reason why Palestinians began mass protests at their concentration camp fence in 2018, which Israel responded to with lethal live fire. In one article in the Israeli media at the time, IDF snipers boasted about shooting “42 knees in one day”. Hundreds were killed and many thousands crippled as a result. Those same snipers are currently shooting children in the head, abdomen and testicles, as British surgeon Nick Maynard, who is volunteering in Gaza, has warned.

Let us note too that Israel’s almost complete, and malevolent, control over Gaza – and the fact that the world had lost interest in the enclave’s desperate plight – was a major factor in Hamas and other groups launching their lethal break-out on 7 October 2023.

5. In parallel to all this, and starting in 2007, Israel persuaded the US to join it in a pressure campaign on Egypt: to open its single, short border with Gaza so that the enclave’s people would flood into Sinai – an act of ethnic cleansing and a blatant violation of international law. Egypt refused to submit before 7 October 2023, and has continued to do so since.

In fact, forcibly removing a group from their homes through violence and by making life impossible for them where they live itself meets the legal definition of genocide – all the more obviously so if those doing the forcible removal say that is what they are doing, as Israeli leaders have been stating from the start of their genocidal slaughter and starvation campaign in Gaza.

Israel is committing a genocide to force Egypt and the Arab world to take the people of Gaza as refugees. If they refuse, Israel will continue with the genocide by killing more of Gaza’s people. If they relent, Israel will continue the genocide by dispersing what’s left of the people of Gaza to the far corners of the world. Either way, it is genocide. Either way, it must be stopped – now.

It is cold comfort indeed that, in the very final stages of Israel’s genocide, media pundits like Piers Morgan are ready to concede that a genocide may be about to happen. None of that should obscure or excuse their 21 months of complicity in the genocide that unfolded before all our eyes. They did not know because they did not want to know.

Responsibility for every dead child in Gaza, every maimed child in Gaza, every orphaned child in Gaza, every starving child in Gaza, irreversibly damaged by malnutrition, rests firmly on their shoulders “

Davis writes: “What is even more remarkable is that immediately after the Hamas attack, Israel’s vice-like intelligence grip of anything that moves in Gaza was suddenly working again.”

Yet Davis, in his dissembling, ignores the ground truth: between October 7, 2023, and mid‑2025, over 10,100 projectiles were launched from Gaza and successfully struck Israel. If Israel truly had a “vice-like grip on anything that moves in Gaza,” how does Davis explain this scale of sustained rocket fire—not hypothetical, not intercepted, but over 10,000 direct hits on Israeli soil? As an antidote to fiction—I’d recommend math. These numbers, on their face, put the lie to Mr. Davis’ invective.

If the Oct 7 attack was allowed to happen, why would you assume those projectiles fired by Hamas would not have also been allowed to happen? As we in the US should certainly see by now, “we” needed ISIS, Al Queda and all the rest of those “existential enemies” to exist to justify endless wars against “terrorists,” terrorists that we funded and enabled as is now known to most of the world, so why would Israel do any differently? Davis is hardly “dissembling” here but only presenting known facts regarding all those “failures” in that vice like intelligence grip.

As for math being the solution to understanding any of this, since when has math been the real issue? Is not setting up enemies, endless enemies that no matter how many times they’ve been revealed as such by militaries and intelligence supposedly able to identify them, but somehow are unable to stop or eliminate them? How does that work exactly if all that intelligence is really being used to save civilians from terrorism? Do you really believe that Israeli intelligence is that inept? Sounds a lot like the same lame excuses used for 9/11, doesn’t it?

According to Davis, Israel had reestablished full-spectrum dominance over Gaza by day two. So ask yourself: if Israel needed cover to destroy Gaza, it had all the narrative justification it needed on October 7. Why drag the conflict out for two years?
And if the events of that day weren’t sufficient to shield Israel from international condemnation, the IDF could have simply beheaded the hostages on live TV on October 8—far more efficient and less expensive than firing another 5,000 rockets at itself.
As for your 9/11 analogy: that operation began at 8:46 AM and ended at 10:03 AM—a total duration of 1 hour and 17 minutes. That’s how long it takes to execute a narrative-driven operation. Two years of sustained bombardment isn’t narrative control—it’s war.

What “conflict”? What “war”? It’s clear that the Israeli government are quite happy to sacrifice some of their population. But I’ve seen minimal damage on the Israel side and utter devastation in Gaza. This is a massacre triggered by an event that was clearly desired by Israel.

There’s no war. Just the systematic destruction of Gaza and genocide of the Palestinians. I suppose nuking Gaza wasn’t considered an option.

I said “vice-like intelligence grip” you said “vice-like grip”. I am not saying that Hamas can’t defend itself or act offensively, I am saying Israeli intelligence and therefore awareness of Hamas activity is comprehensive, hence “vice-like intelligence grip.”

Your “look at the evidence” explicitly portrays Israel’s grip over Gaza not merely as vice-like intelligence but as fully operationalized dominance. You cite drone swarm attacks, crowd control, biometric entry and exit, laser targeting, tunnel interdiction, infiltration, targeted assassinations, and coordinated strikes. Any actor—especially one as openly genocidal as you claim Israel to be—possessing such operational lethality could have completed the systematic destruction of Gaza within weeks. Your descent into absurdist fiction that Israel’s only alternative to a two-year campaign of letting itself be bombed was to nuke Gaza, is as unserious and incoherent as the rest
of your “journalism.”

Agreed, my rhetorical tone may have been sharp—as is your accusation that I’m an apologist for genocide. Regardless, my point stands. If recounting your own description of Israel’s capabilities undercuts your premise, that’s a problem with the argument—not with my summary of it.

Here again is that peculiar twist whereby Israel is presented as justified because they could have been so much “more” bloodthirsty. That they are taking longer than a few weeks proves how sweet they are.

A straw man argument is a fallacy where one person misrepresents another person’s argument to make it easier to attack or refute. Instead of addressing the actual argument, they create a “straw man” – a distorted or exaggerated version of the opponent’s position – and then attack that. 
Here’s a breakdown of how it works: 

  • Misrepresentation:
  • The core of a straw man argument is misrepresenting someone’s position, often by simplifying, exaggerating, or taking it out of context. 
  • Attacking the Misrepresentation:
  • Once the misrepresentation is established, the person uses this distorted version to attack their opponent’s stance. 
  • Creating a False Impression:
  • The goal is to create the impression that the opponent’s actual argument has been refuted, even though the argument being attacked is not the original one.

Does ‘misrepresentation’ ever extend to include the representation of Israel as the universally bad guys?

And another distraction. I was talking about your shameless swivel away from the general definition of “false flag”. Though on further inspection I see the conflation with “Zionist” and “Israel” as if all claims of false flaggery were aimed at these.

Israel are neither the “universally bad guys” nor “responsible for all the world’s ills”. They are however utter psychopaths doing in real time what we see the Nazis doing in countless Hollywood movies.

Nevertheless, it was actually quite a deep point. At least as far as this site goes. One may vainly gloss it over in the pursuit of cheap up-votes. Yet it’s worth repeating:

Why the transition from the “all in it together” mantra to “the Zionist lobby of the US closetly ruling the world”?

It’s essentially a paradigm shift. I suspect that I’m not the only one to have noticed.

From Klaus Schwab/Bill Gates ruling the world with Covid vaccines to ‘US imports’ from persecuted Germany somehow having the last say in every matter Global. Even though they did somehow contribute to the US and the world with the odd good film. The ‘all in it together’ mantra gone out the window it would seem.

These articles are not a “denial” of the Hamas attack.

Once upon time, Catt Black would say ‘fake binary’ however this does not apply to the certain things in history that supposedly happened and the above and Jesus.

The serious shilling of this article is, it has the hallmarks of all the other psyops.
It makes you all agree something happened.
However by doing this it keeps you all in the there is differentiation of what happened after.
Like the ovens, it did happen but the numbers changed over times. so lets all agree something did happen and the numbers changes was a small minor cock up.
Like nukes, it did happened but some issues with the story’s.
Covidcon, it did happen but not able to understand it and was now a bio weapon etc
Jesus or ali, they was about and real but some discrepancies about the story.

If this truth is. it did happen then why bring out laws, called people heretics, cancel people & attack people, take away there jobs and imprison them for not believing or calling it fake. (place them in pending approval) in some cases kill them for being non believers.

Iain has done the above and make everyone think ‘it did happen’ and your evil for not believing this and this also plays into the psychology operation handbook off, it did happen and your an anti septic/horrible person for not believing it.

here:
https://matt1up.substack.com/p/synthetic-ai-news-visual-glitches

this focusses on solely the evidential, provable footage

more than this, this is how “they” will fabricate evidence to incriminate the unwilling

Mat Guertain brought this to light by dint that it was his now stolen software that prevents the so called “glitches” being apparent

there are so very few that really see the full and final destination, yet alone the mechanisms in play in this current late stage of events

Huge, nay gargantuan shifts in consciousness are required to get sufficient people on board as to the nature and scale of what is afoot

People need to understand that the consequences of failure go way beyond this current manifestation We are each in, this current “meat suit” aka “bio-experience” hardware vehicle

Those involved, who created the myriad systems ranging from usury, to porn, to pharmakoa and other methods of poisoning have NEVER hidden their agenda, that agenda is to have:

“a world of their own”

point agreed but much of it was faked using “ai software video editing” see for yourself in the above links

it is the pre-meditated element that also requires scrutiny

We also need to consider that “hamas” are merely another wing of the “idf”, the history of that being accessible to any that look

The bigger picture is not merely the oil and gas reserves sitting under and to the side of Gaza, but indeed a far greater issue that being the messianical aspirations of the “Israeli” occupiers

There is another level to the behaviour of these creatures, it is difficult to articulate and for many near impossible to digest, but if the last 5 years have taught us anything it is that viewing events in the “realtime” manifest reality that they are intentionally projected to us, does not allow us to see them for what they really are

a man who has studied the messinaical aspirations and written well on it can be found here, for any that have an hour or two to enlarge their visual field in the area where “real world” and “religious world” merge, highly recommended

That is hardly deep dive evidence.

your response to MC George.

If you are expecting the three articles I have written on this false flag to argue, as you have, that the fact it was a false flag indicates that Hamas had nothing to do with killing anyone, then don’t bother reading any more of them

Your using the same emotional propaganda as all the other stage fakes which is what the MIC does.

The silly buggers !! They practiced out in the open. The IDF girls manning
the surveillance towers reported the activity – the many times the ‘sub-hoomin
animals’ practiced in front of them… Egypt informed on them. Qatar informed
on them; even the US CIA allegedly informed on them.
They practiced In Plain Sight… But no report claims The Informers knew the
actual plan, knew the actual day it was intended to be carried out…
“Something BIG is being planned !!” seems to be all they could pass on…
Though most bodies had been collected within a few days, daily figures released
took over a week to be inflated to the Horrific 1400 Killed… Eventually this number
was claimed to include around 200 Badly Burned ‘sub-hoomin animals’… But the
1400 slain is still generally believed… Then there’s the actual number of
‘sub-hoomin animals’ who flooded into occupied Palestinian territory to take
captives… It hovered around 1500 for a while, but different sources give different
numbers, and it seems they’re determined by the emphasis they give to the story.
If it’s a story of Little David fighting back against Goliath, then claiming 2500-3000
‘sub-hoomin animals’ were involved gets more sympathy, and that suits the victor…

This parallels “9/11”. There were foreign warnings. FBI/CIA staff were ignored, told to stand down or even locked up. Other FBI/CIA staff assisted the “terrorists” with arrangements/expenses. Of course the “terrorists” were patsies in a multi-trillion dollar plan.

This does not excuse mass murder, such as that perpetrated by Hamas during its October 7th Attack.

That was a pre-2010 dictionary definition case of genocide. Hamas killed as many Israelis as they could with the weapons at hand.

Israel on the other hand could have killed many many more Hamas supporters with their bombers, artillery etc but didn’t. Imagine what Hamas would have done with that fire power.

In Western woke world Isl@m can occupy any territory on Earth without a wimp from them, but when a few Juice do so, all brainwashing hell breaks loose. Women’s or gay rights? Israel is under their microscope, for the 100 x bigger Islamic world they close their other eye.
