A blueprint reviewed by The Times laid out the attack in detail. Israeli officials dismissed it as aspirational and ignored specific warnings.

Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.

    He’s not. He’ll silence all critics with his constant battle cries and continue to create endless chaos so he is not the focus.

    Hamas did him a favour, and he uses it.

      What are you basing that on?

      In the latest election polls, Netanyahu is being absolutely destroyed by Benny Gantz. Public trust in Netanyahu is currently sitting at 4%. I can’t see battle cries mattering when 96% of the population want him to shut the fuck up.

      Gantz is a moderate on Palestine and backs both strengthening the PA and a two state solution. None of this sounds like victory for Netanyahu. His career is over, his legacy is irreparably tarnished, and his political enemies are going to come to power.

        I base that on voters choices not in polls but in elections - the clowns, the idiots, even the murderers are being constantly elected and reelected, very often by those who suffer the most from those dumb politics. You see it everywhere. I’m completely baffled by this - human nature really has some shitty effects.

        I however hope you are right, and that the Israeli people will do the right thing. I will believe it when I see it. I don’t believe it now.
