    You mean that a government with one of the most well funded intelligence services in the world, knew that an attack was coming from a region they completely control, from a manufactured rebel group they partly fund. And they let this attack happen, and their citizens die and used it as a casus belli to raze, and ethnically cleanse said region because they want to completely colonize and claim it as their own?

    That’s definitely a first in the history of humanity and I’m utterly shocked, really!

      not to forget Netanyahu’s government was in a pretty bad place and urgently needed some common enemy to save the day from

      Also they let the attack continue for 6 hours before showing up with forces despite being a 1 hour drive from their capital city and probably even closer to military bases. With a population that all serves in the military in their youth and many that proudly walk around armed, how did it take so long to organize a counter?

        They needed to have lunch and then a serious meeting to figure out what to do. You can’t make this kind of decision on an empty stomach!

        Yeah, something tells me EDM festivals aren’t full of Likud voters, maybe leadership thought of it as 2 birds one stone

      You left out the Hannibal directive part, but yeah.
