    Bibi not using available intelligence to avoid the attack?

    I don’t understand, why would he want that! What would he have to gain?

    (Obvious sarcasm)

    I’m surprised they haven’t replaced Netanyahoo with Netangoogle yet.

    You mean the guy who pushed to empower Hamas in order to weaken the PLO might be a little responsible for this?

    This is almost the exact same article that was posted last week, except this time from Reuters instead of JPost. They both reference polls done by Maariv, but once again fail to link to actual poll results. Am I taking crazy pills here for wanting to see the actual poll? Wtf is up with modern journalism?

      Nobody wants to pay for news; which means nobody gets paid well to report it. So here we are in this dumpster fire of modern journalism.

      Honestly, no news sites actually like the poll unless they’re the ones that do it. (Youll sometimes see Fox link to a fox poll for example)

      I dont know why this is. Maybe they don’t want you to leave their site?

        I don’t find that to be the case. I always make it a point to check the actual polls instead of relying on the headlines, and it’s usually pretty easy to find. For some reason, this particular poll has been reported multiple times in the last week and I’ve never been able to find a link to it. Last week someone even looked at the Israeli website of the people conducting the poll and still couldn’t find it.

        Yeah, they’re putting a lot of old conspirancies under a brand new light. Too much control on the news environment.

      Reigon? World man, these wars have ripple effects that totally skew some people into full blown racists. Hell, that poor kid got shot by his landlord recently.

        Don’t forget the 6 yo boy who was stabbed multiple times by a man who used to play with him.

    “Failing” implies that it was unintentional.

    The evidence quite clearly indicates that it was not - that it was instead a very deliberate choice made in pursuit of long-term goals

    Netanyahu explicitly rejects a two-state solution. His goal is to annex all existing Palestinian territory.

    The Palestinian people are justifiably unwilling to submit to that, because they know that that way leads to them being made second-class citizens of an apartheid state.

    The only alternative then is for Israel to conquer those territories - to kill enough Palestinians to terrorize the rest into subjugation. And that is, certainly not coincidentally, the exact strategy they’re pursuing at this moment.

    And the Hamas attack is the specific thing that made it possible for them to do so with at least some colorable semblance of justification.

    Therefore, the only reasonable conclusion is that when the Israeli government learned of the planned attack, a deliberate choice was made to not move to prevent it - to allow it to happen, because it would serve Netanyahu’s purposes when it did. As it has.
