They Let it Happen?

Their Objective is

"to Wipe Gaza Off the Map"...?

Crimes Against Humanity - It's Genocide, an Absolute Slaughter
 

[Israel's military] said it would soon begin launching a widespread offensive in northern Gaza - a warning that comes about a day after Israel ordered roughly a million civilians to flee the area.
 

The sealed-off territory ruled by Hamas was in turmoil on Saturday amid the sweeping evacuation order that covered about half of Gaza's population.

Gaza also faces a growing water crisis as Palestinians were struggling to evacuate northern Gaza by foot, car and donkey cart.

Humanitarian groups said the evacuees had nowhere to go.

The other way of leaving Gaza, into Egypt, appeared to be sealed as well, amid confusion over whether the neighboring country would allow anyone to exit Gaza.

An offensive even more powerful than Israel's previous shelling of Gaza appeared imminent.

"We are going to attack Gaza City very broadly soon," Israel's chief military spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said in a nationally broadcast address, without giving a timetable for the attack.

Early Saturday October 7, 2023, Hamas launched "Operation Al-Aqsa Storm" led by Hamas' Military Chief Mohammed Deif. 

On that same day, Netanyahu confirmed a so-called "State of Readiness For War". Military operations are invariably planned well in advance (see Netanyahu's January 2023 statement below). 

Was "Operation Al-Aqsa Storm" a "surprise attack"...?

U.S. intelligence say they weren't aware of an impending Hamas attack. 

"One would have to be almost hopelessly naïve to buy the corporate state media line that the Hamas invasion was an Israeli 'intelligence failure'. 

 

Mossad is one of, if not the, most powerful intelligence agencies on the planet."

Did Netanyahu and his vast military and intelligence apparatus (Mossad et al) have foreknowledge of the Hamas attack which has resulted in countless deaths of Israelis and Palestinians?

 

Was a carefully formulated Israeli plan to wage an all out war against Palestinians envisaged prior to the launching by Hamas of "Operation Al-Aqsa Storm"?

This was not a failure of Israeli Intelligence, as conveyed by the media.

Quite the opposite...!

Evidence and testimonies suggest that the Netanyahu government had foreknowledge of the actions of Hamas which have resulted in hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian deaths.

And "They Let it Happen"...:

"Hamas fired between 2-5 thousand rockets at Israel and hundreds of Israeli are dead, while dozens of Israelis were captured as prisoners of war.

 

In the ensuing air response by Israel, hundreds of Palestinians were killed in Gaza."

Stephen Sahiounie

 

This was not a "surprise attack"

Was the Hamas Attack a "False Flag"? 

"I served in the IDF 25 years ago, in the intelligence forces. There's no way Israel did not know of what's coming.

 

A cat moving alongside the fence is triggering all forces.

So this...??

 

What happened to the "strongest army in the world"?

 

How come border crossings were wide open?

Something is VERY WRONG HERE, something is very strange, this chain of events is very unusual and not typical for the Israeli defense system.

 

To me this surprise attack seems like a planned operation... On all fronts...

If I was a conspiracy theorist I would say that this feels like the work of the Deep State.

 

It feels like the people of Israel and the people of Palestine have been sold, once again, to the higher Powers that Be.

Ironically, the media (NBC) is now contending that the "Hamas attack bears hallmarks of 'Iranian' involvement".

History - The Relationship between Mossad and Hamas

What is the relationship between Mossad and Hamas?

 

Is Hamas an "intelligence asset"? 

There is a long history. 

Hamas (Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya - Islamic Resistance Movement), was founded in 1987 by Sheik Ahmed Yassin.

It was supported at the outset by Israeli intelligence as a means to weaken the Palestinian Authority:

"Thanks to Mossad, (Israel's 'Institute for Intelligence and Special Tasks'), Hamas was allowed to reinforce its presence in the occupied territories.

 

Meanwhile, Arafat's Fatah Movement for National Liberation as well as the Palestinian Left were subjected to the most brutal form of repression and intimidation.

 

Let us not forget that it was Israel, which in fact created Hamas.

 

According to Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,

"Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)".

L'Humanité

translated from French

The links of Hamas to Mossad and US intelligence have been acknowledged by Rep. Ron Paul in a statement to the US Congress: 

"Hamas Was Started by Israel"?

 

"You know Hamas, if you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat…

Rep. Ron Paul

2011

What this statement entails is that Hamas is and remains,

"an intelligence asset", namely "an 'asset' to intelligence agencies".

See also the WSJ (January 24, 2009) "How Israel helped to Spawn Hamas". 

Instead of trying to curb Gaza's Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat's Fatah. 

The Hamas Partnership is confirmed by Netanyahu - "The Cat is Out of the Bag"

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas," he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party's Knesset members in March 2019.

 

"This is part of our strategy - to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."

Does this statement not suggest that Netanyahu and his military-intelligence outfit are responsible for the killings of innocent Israeli civilians? 

The Dangers of Military Escalation?

Let us be under no illusions, this "false flag" operation is a complex military-intelligence undertaking, carefully planned over several years, in liaison and coordination with US intelligence, the Pentagon and NATO. 

In turn, this action against Palestine is already conducive to a process of military escalation which potentially could engulf a large part of Middle East.

Israel is a de facto member NATO (with a special status) since 2004, involving active military and intelligence coordination as well as consultations pertaining to the occupied territories.

Military cooperation with both the Pentagon and NATO is viewed by Israel's Defence Force (IDF) as a means to,

"enhance Israel's deterrence capability regarding potential enemies threatening it, mainly Iran and Syria."

The premise of NATO-Israel military cooperation is that "Israel is under attack"...

Does Israel's agreement with the Atlantic Alliance "obligate" NATO "to come to the rescue of Israel" under the doctrine of "collective security" (Article 5 of the Washington treaty)?

In recent developments, U.S. military deployments in the Middle East are ongoing allegedly to avoid escalation.

According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg:

There is always the risk that nations and/or organizations hostile to Israel will try to take advantage.

 

And that includes, for instance, organizations like Hezbollah or a country like Iran. So this is a message to countries and organizations hostile to Israel that they should not try to utilize the situation.

 

And the United States have deployed, or has deployed more military forces in the region, not least to deter any escalation or prevent any escalation of the situation.

Netanyahu's "New Stage" of "The Long War" against Palestine

Netanyahu's stated objective, which constitutes a new stage in the 75 year old war (since Nakba, 1948) against the people of Palestine is no longer predicated on "Apartheid" or "Separation". 

This new stage - which is also directed against Israelis who want peace - consists in "total appropriation" as well as the outright exclusion of the Palestinian people from their homeland:

"These are the basic lines of the national government headed by me [Netanyahu]:

The Jewish people have an exclusive and unquestionable right to all areas of the Land of Israel.

The government will promote and develop settlement in all parts of the Land of Israel - in the Galilee, the Negev, the Golan, Judea and Samaria."

(Netanyahu January 2023)

We bring to the attention of the incisive below analysis of Dr. Philip Giraldi pointing to the likelihood of a "False Flag":

Is the Gaza-Israel Fighting "A False Flag"?

They Let it Happen? - Their Objective Is "to Wipe Gaza Off the Map"?

by Dr. Philip Giraldi 

October 8, 2023

 

 

Am I the only one who read about a speech given by Netanyahu or someone in his cabinet about a week ago in which he/they in passing referred to a "developing security situation" which rather suggests (to me) that they might have known about developments in Gaza and chose to let it happen so they can wipe Gaza off the map in retaliation and, possibly relying on the US pledge to have Israel's "back," then implicating Iran and attacking that country?

 

I cannot find a link to it, but have a fairly strong recollection of what I read as I thought at the time it would serve as a pretext for another massacre of Palestinians.

 

As a former intelligence officer, I find it impossible to believe that Israel did not have multiple informants inside Gaza as well as electronic listening devices all along the border wall which would have picked up movements of groups and vehicles.

 

In other words,

the whole thing might be a tissue of lies as is often the case...

And as is also ALWAYS the case Joe Biden is preparing to send some billions of dollars to poor little Israel to pay for "defending" itself...
