Umm, you are aware that Israel promotes and funds Hamas, right? Netanyahu has been all about Hamas for years.

Absolutely. Israel ‘created’ Hamas as a strategy to counter the PLO (was it?). They armed Hamas. The US did the same in the Middle East. Arming adversaries is a sick way to solve a problem.

Yes, exactly. It was the PLO. The idea was to have two different Palestinian groups fighting each other. And also the PLO had become such pussycats that it was hard to gin up hatred for them, so Hamas was developed as an enemy everyone could hate, but behind the scenes be manipulated. It was reported some time ago that the IDF had infiltrated Hamas. So it strains credulity that there was any kind of "intelligence failure" here. Especially since Netanyahu was warned about the upcoming attacks at least four times, once by the CIA and three times by Egypt.

Very well argued! The intelligence failure is really hard to imagine...

And then there's the fact that defense technology was disabled, borders were unmanned, the IDF was kept out of the air for six hours and ground forces were stood down for ten hours. Many IDF people seeing photos of soldiers apparently murdered in their bunks have said, "This is impossible--didn't happen. There are too many layers of security." This whole thing was clearly allowed to happen and we are being blanketed with a sea of propaganda. It definitely benefits Bibi's agenda, but also a globalist agenda to increase surveillance and squash civil liberties as populations worldwide become enraged at one another and start protesting from both sides.

Of course. And yet knowing that, Malone has fallen right into the propaganda trap of Israel good, Palestine bad. He waited about five days after the Hamas attacks without putting his oar in, and then right in the middle of Gaza being bombed into oblivion, he posted a bunch of anti-Palestinian CARTOONS that were supposed to make us laugh. I've been one of his biggest cheerleaders against some nonsense, but I unsubscribed that day. That was not humane or educated behavior.

Yes, position on Israel complicate things for a lot of people. RFKjr fell head first into it.

Political orientations are fracturing into new formations. It is very interesting, albeit heartbreaking.
