    Well the Hamas attack was basically Netanjahu’s Reichstag fire. There were huge protests against his judicial, unconstitutional power grab, and now there arent. Now, his power is unchallenged and he even has additional wartime powers.

      Yep I had the same thought. Erdogan also does the same Spiel. Everytime he looses support he sends his troops across the border.

      There was zero chance he wasn’t tipped off. The attack was too massive to be completely secret.

    If true, did they ignore Egypt’s warnings because of incompetence or because of malicious intent? Doubt we’ll ever know the truth.

      Considering the weak and precarious position of Benjamin Netanyahu. And the genocidal extremists that he represents. And his despotic ambitions. I know which one I’m betting on.
