And on the israeli side, wouldn’t it be possible that the mossad DID know about the Hamas plan but decided to let it happen because they knew it would galvanize THEIR side and give them the excuse to take out Gaza. All very 9 11ish……well I see the next commenter had the same idea.
I'm not sure what puts Mossad in a worse light - missing a massive long-planned Palestinian offensive, or allowing hundreds of Israelis to get killed to further a geopolitical agenda. In either case, my primary concern is that this doesn't escalate to a regional war that kills hundreds of thousands of people, or worse yet, WW3.
My wife kept me apprised of your time in Atlantic Canada via your wife's Facebook posts.
Are you back in Vilcabamba? In the same house? Caty visited Vilcabamba last August and reported it as being as convivial as always. A haven of sorts in a world gone mad.
I hope all is well for you. You can communicate directly with me via bruceohara@substack.com.
Well said. But also add to this that the Israelis probably allowed this to happen just so they can go into Gaza. So I have my doubts that they will reverse course now. They are going to go in but it might take a few weeks. Then Hezbollah in Lebanon opens the second front. Then Hezbollah in Iraq/Syria (yes, they exist there too) open the 3rd eastern front through the Golan Heights, joined by other Syrian militias. Israel escalates against Syria even though the SAA are not involved and that brings in Iran and ultimately Russia. These nutters are literally trying to manipulate events as laid out in the Bible. Is the US gets involved I think that might signal Turkey's exit from NATO and if that happens, and you know about End Times prophecy and the locations of the lands whose armies align against Israel, we are truly fooked. I'm not a Christian nor do I follow any religion (though I am not an atheist) but I study my enemy's doctrines.
If it turns out Mossad knew the Hamas attack was coming and allowed it happen, whatever high moral ground the Israeli Government might claim is immediately vaporized.
You've done an excellent job of listing the terrifying dominos of escalation that are possible. If the US takes part in any attack on Iran, that's when WW3 instantly shifts from highly unlikely to probable.
