Netanyahu needed October 7 to go off in a spectacular way, as FDR needed Pearl Harbor to go off to justify American intervention in the European war theater in WW-2. He moved the aircraft carriers out 2 weeks before, and the rest of the modern ships out 1 week before the attack, and was monitoring Japanese radio communications, but keeping it secret from the military commanders at Pearl Harbor and Clark airbase.
This is Netanyahu's play for the "final solution".
I have read this essay in full, and it covers the topic in detail.
Thank you for addressing this important topic. I am looking forward to reading it this evening. All we know is that Israel had the top in military advance defence system. It looked like Hamas came in by handgliders and tractors for hours before anything turned into a "war".
I think of it as more than of a genocide than a war. Where's Hamas's air force, their submarines, their seat at the United Nations. As a "terrorist organization" its members are banned from have diplomatic relations with most countries and groups. That's why they had to take "hostages" to qualify for anything like "negotiations."
Sorry to see this writer fall for use of the 'g' word, say I as one of those who "immediately" saw enough of the sorry regrettable core of what was going on (mostly untouched on by this Part 1). It is the commentators' travesty to focus as so many otherwise worthy dissident writers have, on Israeli actions, travesty further for admitted full knowledge of the mass support from the Israeli populace itself. Are you talking down to them; maybe worse belittling their adversaries as unable to entertain motives and thinking thus actions close to a Canadian's own? That is, it is not possible to "look out on the world" from eg Canada, maybe especially Canada, and get enough of what goes on in that part of the world - eg where it can be said that unlike elsewhere, the enemy of one's enemy is one's enemy. It is further lost on esp. Canadians how hatred and jealousy can be wrapped up in ideology as it has in the region to threaten Jewish accomplishments there, not to mention how the hatreds etc can be and are harvested.....
Where was this commentator when the Syrian govt did what it did to the cognate group there, where an estimated similar number of people were done in some decades ago? There is no equivalence. But the main point is the mere & intense focus itself given ongoing travesties worldwide (what about not so far away Turks vs Kurds? or Morocco & West African counterclaims or Burma or you name it?)
It was obvious that this was "let it happen on purpose" episode, in ways not dissimilar to Sept 11/01. There are nested motives, re Israel's immediate vicinity and negation of enemies' access to critical resources, there is the regional danger related to Iranian motives and actions, there are hypermodernist concerns to the extent Israel is plugged in thereto but to which equally aspire all the rest, and so on.
" they had to take "hostages""...even this was a contrivance apparently lost on Mr Hall. And surely participation of sinister anglosupremacist operatives and with Qatar, one should assume. Israel as mini-state falls under as every such small polity does, a hegemon's influence. Which of the other hegemon behemoths would Mr Hall recommend? It is an impossible situation. This is no apology, but a call for a wider and higher perspective. It may very well be - in particular given the extraordinary surge of anti-Jewish utterings and actions esp. in the West - that the ultimate string-pullers - not Israelis - have the intent to reduce not magnify Israel itself, with right wing elements there as elsewhere acting the dupes. What's worse, "lefter" wing stoogedom unable to imagine their being possessed by nefarious actors; or the dupedom right?
The situation is indeed existential for Israel, insofar as it remains reasnoably unable to dissociate itself from anglosupremacist hegemonic interests. For Canadians, too , but who generally are far sleepier about such things...
Hi Anthony, John Hankey made an excellent documentary, October 7 was an inside job, 56 minutes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMXllVmTuKQ. He makes an interesting comparison with 9/11.

amazing article...wish I had a printer, as this deserves more than a speed read off the screen. Great pic at the end of Net - he's insane.
