Israel's alleged complicity in Gaza attack
“Israel must invent dangers, and to do this it must adapt the strategy of provocation and revenge" said the late General Moshe Dayan.
Israel's alleged complicity in Gaza attack
by Lee Harding
The history of false flags to launch a war is long, sad, and effective. This means staging or allowing an event to happen with others being blamed. A growing number of voices are speculating with good reason that the horrific Hamas attack on Israelis took place because Israel’s defence and intelligence allowed it to happen.
Such an accusation may seem inconceivable, but, as the old Princess Bride movie explains, that word may not mean what you think it means. The premise of that movie was itself a false flag event. The king’s bride-to-be was kidnapped and set to be murdered in Gilder. Why? So the king could rally his people and nation for an invasion.
Should we believe that authors and screenwriters are more shrewd than people in intelligence, military, and politics? The U.S. entrances into both world wars, the Vietnam War, and the war on terror–all were prompted by events that have since become shrouded in controversy. At least President Kennedy did not allow the CIA to make false flag attacks in Miami, Washington, and at sea to justify a war on Cuba under Operation Northwoods.
Prior to his death in 1981, former Israeli defense minister General Moshe Dayan said, “Israel must invent dangers, and to do this it must adapt the strategy of provocation and revenge.” This modus operandi stated by the one in charge in the 1967 and 1973 wars may have been renewed in Gaza. Given Israel’s usual diligence to the area, it’s hard to reach any other conclusion.
The Times of Israel reported Oct. 9 that Israel’s “[s]urveillance drones buzz constantly in the skies. The highly secured border is awash with security cameras and soldiers on guard. Intelligence agencies work sources and cyber capabilities to draw out information…
“But Israel’s eyes appeared to have been closed in the lead-up to the surprise onslaught by the Hamas terror group.”
Yes, and there are none so blind as those who refuse to see, nor as deaf as those who refuse to hear. Consider, an Egyptian intelligence official told the Associated Press that Israel was strangely uninterested when they were warned of the Gaza attacks ten days before they happened.
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the official said, on the condition of anonymity.
According to Ynet news (as reported by the Times of Israel), Egypt’s Intelligence Minister General Abbas Kamel personally called Netanyahu to warn that Gazans were likely to do “something unusual, a terrible operation.”
“Unnamed Egyptian officials told the site they were shocked by Netanyahu’s indifference to the news and said the premier told the minister the military was ‘submerged’ in troubles in the West Bank, the Times reported.
Netanyahu called the report “fake news.”
“No early message came from Egypt and the prime minister did not speak or meet with the intelligence chief since the establishment of the government — not indirectly or directly,” his office said in a statement earlier in the day,” reported the Times.
Chief IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari even said it’s no time to figure out what went wrong. “First, we fight, then we investigate,” he said.
Retired general Amir Avivi told the Associated Press that Israel had gotten lax with Hamas and was letting Gazans get employment in Israel. He also suggested an over-reliance on technology to allowed Gazans to speak face-to-face in facilities protected from surveillance.
The AP report even suggested Netanyahu’s attempts to stop judicial activism to undermine conservative laws destroyed the “cohesion of the country’s security services” and caused a “huge destraction.”
Speculation from Israelis formerly in military and intelligence
Every Israeli woman does two years of mandatory military service, while the men do three. Now some Israelis in a position to know say it is impossible their defenses could be so lax. A former Infantry Operations Sergeant in the Gaza Division in 2014 said so in a video she wanted shared everywhere.
“There is no way that anyone can approach the border without us knowing about it, okay? The observers sit in bunkers for hours. They can’t move their eyes like this [side to side]. They sit in front of a screen. There is no way in hell,” she said.
“They would wake me up at night for a pigeon, for a stork that got too close to the border, for a cockroach that went under the border. They would rouse all the forces in the sector.”
Independent journalist Efrat Fenigson, a part of Israel’s intelligence forces 25 years ago, and posted at the Gaza border, shared similar sentiments by video.
“This war and every war is a horrible thing for everyone involved, except for those who get rich from it, right?” she said.
As she explained, as much as 80% of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) personnel normally stationed around Gaza on Israel’s southeastern coast had been called to the West Bank. And, a year ago, a military operation was held in Gaza to respond to the scenario now unfolding, as were subsequent training exercises.
“Two years ago there was a successful deployment of underground barriers with sensors to alert exactly on these kind of terrorist breaches. Israel has one of the most advanced and high-tech armies. How come there was zero response to the border and fence breaching? I cannot understand that,” she said.
“There’s no way, in my view, that Israel did not know of what’s coming. A cat moving alongside the fence is triggering all forces. So this?...How come border crossings were wide open?...To me this surprise attack seems like a planned operation on all fronts.”
Later, on the DarkHorse podcast, since viewed almost 200,000 times, she said the following,
“The people of Israel have been—I don't know if sacrificed is too rough of a word—but we have been sold out…
“No military involvement, no police, no arms on the ground for hours and hours. This is something that is non-typical and unusual for Israel defence forces.”
The fact that the border was breached in 15 places “is completely ridiculous because normally with one breach of the fence, the whole army is triggered and things start moving immediately. Things start moving immediately and here there was nothing for hours."
Another person claiming to be an ex-IDF commander and squad leader in the Golani brigade alleged similar complicity in a video posted to X.
“It was done in full cooperation. It’s impossible that the IDF or specially the Shin Bet [Israeli intelligence] did not know about this. There is no way IDF does not react immediately or the air forces or the tanks,” he said.
“In my times, we only needed to have a suspicion that there was oging to be an invasion from the Gaza Strip. I was in Nahal Oz then, hundreds of vehicles from all sides arrived in seconds…
“This country betrayed us back during the COVID-19 pandemic with these dangerous vacccinations. Now you see it more clearly. The army no longer servces us. I know it sounds hard. I know it’s scary. But in my opinion, it’s true.”
Similar videoed comments were made by prominent Israeli-born Rabbi Yosef Mizratchi of Monsey, NY.
“How is it possible? Where was the army? The army did not start to respond until at least four hours until at least hundreds of people are murdered,” said Mizrachi.
“I spoke to a few people who used to be in intelligence. They say if a mouse would touch the [Gaza] fence, 20 jeeps would get there in less than a minute. This is how strict it used to be. It has to be an inside job. It cannot be that they broke the fence in 15 places and broke in and nobody responded, not one bullet was shot, and then they occupied the military base that had tanks over there. And they took the tank and they drove over people.”
Predicted ten months in advance
One video logger warned of the attack ten months in advance, albeit vaguely.
“When you’re being told from intel that an event could happen in the Middle East that could ignite World War III, that lets you know that it’s going to be a staged event,” said Steven Ben-Denoon on November 16, 2022. He said he had first received the report towards the end of 2021.
More recently, Denoon, a resident of Israel on two occasions (and witness to their normal lightning-quick efficiency after an attack) shared an anonymous account with his 400,000 YouTube subscribers. The alleged witness claimed to have spent most of his military service in the Gaza Division and lived close enough to witness goings-on.
The witness claimed two times there was a “stand down order” and that the “murderous farce” began at 4 am, not 6:30 as was commonly claimed.
“There was unusually heavy weirdness starting at 0200,” the man claimed. At 3 am, two sonic booms were heard from jet airplanes. A helicopter was also spotted that never returned. Despite 5000 missiles from Gaza, there was no Israeli Air Force response until six to eight hours later.
What this shadowy observer saw live on Al Jazeera’s Arab broadcast only furthered his suspicions. The invaders marched for an hour unchallenged before reaching their victims. They were dragged back by “European-looking men (blond and pale-skinned) with military haircuts and first-rate equipment” to take Israel’s Gaza battallion back through strangely unmanned checkpoints and past remote-controlled machine gun stations.
“Finally, sometime ago the security for these southern towns was handled by the Gaza Division (they’d post soldiers at each town, check people coming in and patrol). Then there was a government decision to remove the soldiers and replace them with local civilian civil defense people. But the military defunded the programs and also took away the town’s weapons armories,” he explained.
The civilian defense was left with whoever privately owned a firearm. Such people were few, as although most Israelis are trained in firearms during their military service, Israel does not give gun permits easily.
Denoon even said he also knew Israeli intelligence people who were out of the country, allegedly in anticipation of this attack, though he expected them to be called back under the current crisis.
Predicted five years ago, planned for two years
Abu Obaida, spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, said on Telegram that Hamas started planning this attack two years ago. It’s hard to believe Israel had no clue something like this could be coming–even more so because the attack was predicted five years ago in a national publication.
If true, they were three years late. Shlomo Alegra in his 2018 Times of Israel article, “Hamas, Israel’s Own Creation” laid out the scenario back then.
Alegra documented how Israel encouraged the presence of Hamas in Gaza to offset the Palestinian Liberation Organization, then added the following.
“Eventually Israel will have to make a large military campaign because the way things are presently going Hamas will eventually build up a more powerful military power with a large amount of Rockets which can overwhelm the Iron dome system and build up enough people with weapons to storm the border and infiltrate into Israel killing any Jewish person they see in their path.”
This is exactly what happened. Netanyahu said in a televised statement, “I won’t let it happen again” but his role in it happening the first time is bound to be questioned.
Netanyahu will be blamed, says politician and commentator
Bible Bloc Party founder and conservative commentator Avi Lipkin suggested Netanyahu was left in the dark. However, he suggested some orchestration and foreknowledge by others and said so in an online interview with the Our Jewish Roots channel on YouTube.
“All Christians should pray for Netanyahu, because the whole idea of a coup d'etat is happening right now,” said Lipkin.
“Yaakov Bardogo on channel 14, which is right wing,... said, from all his information, Ehud Barack wants to come back to be the prime minister or dictator or whatever. He's got to get rid of Netanyahu. And he's so fundamental in how he plans things that he knows exactly the date. Before this invasion happened, he knew the date when Netanyahu would be deposed. The date was this last Saturday, was the invasion by Gaza. And so now what's happening is Netanyahu is being blamed for it. But it's not his fault…if his generals hide from him what's really going on, and the Egyptians did give us the information,” he explained.
“You know what, let's say the Egyptians didn't give us information–how could they knock down 60 blocks in the wall and bring through 1000 terrorists into Israel? We think there may even be some tunnels, which we don't know about, which we didn't discover.”
During the Oct. 11 interview, the hosts asked what could follow.
“The army generals, who are all socialists,...operationally they're going to do the right thing. The problem will come after the fighting, in which Netanyahu will be blamed for the failures when it wasn't his fault. The failures are by the general staff, by all these generals who supposedly know their stuff. They knew what was happening,” said Lipkin.
“And, in the Yom Kippur War in 1973, there were people who knew what was happening. Kissinger warned, King Hussein warned, Ashraf Marwan warned, and the Israeli government had this concept that the Egyptians wouldn't dare to attack. And so we [again] had this concept also that Gaza wouldn't dare to attack. Why? Because the generals told Netanyahu they weren't there to attack. So, these are the death throes of the socialist left.”
All of this puts Israel in a precarious position, Lipkin suggested.
“The coup could take place at any time. The problem is, if there is a coup in such an outrageous manner as doing it now, the majority of the population is right wing and religiou–there'll be civil war. Nobody wants a civil war, except for Barak.
“Ehud Barak, over the last nine months has been saying there's going to be blood in the streets of Israel. He is pushing for people to die in the streets of Israel. And that's why how many died because of the Gaza invasion? They’re saying it’s 900. Oh, that's nothing for Ehud Barak. It's nothing because these socialists are used to spilling the blood of their people.”
Netanyahu undermined from within
This raises an interesting possibility. Al Jazeera reported on allegedly leaked Pentagon papers that suggested Mossad had encouraged its staff and citizens to join protests against the government last march. These protests concerned Netanyahu’s reforms that would have prevented left-leaning judicial activism, the same kind that irks many conservatives in the West in our own countries.
Netanyahu’s office said the report was “mendacious and without any foundation whatsoever.”
“The Mossad and its senior officials did not–and do not–encourage agency personnel to join the demonstrations against the government, political demonstrations, or any political activity.”
Officially they don’t. But if there ever was an agency that denied what it was doing, it was one in intelligence. Misinformation is part of the game. Besides, what else is the prime minister supposed to say–there is an open revolt against me in my own regime? Besides, if Mossad was doing this, would they put Netanyahu’s office in the know?
Such are the curious circumstances surrounding what Netanyahu has predicted will be a “long war.” This conflict may eventually involve Israel’s enemies on other fronts and even stretch to Iran. Another war is upon us, justified by questionable events. One can only hope, however unlikely, that the truth will come out, and that a stable situation can emerge with minimal casualties.
I am firmly convinced that Israel has historically been, and is still, the entity, the people, the nation, the conduit, through which God chose to reveal Himself and His plan for the salvation of fallen humanity. I believe God’s promises to Abraham, Yitzak, and Ya’akov will be fulfilled. I believe God will fulfill His promises to the descendants of those men.
…. but I don’t trust Netanyahu any more than I trust the leaders of any other government on earth. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Netanyahu in charge during the Orwellian mandates regarding covid? Wasn’t he the one who signed a deal with Pfizer for getting Israelis injected multiple times and promising a certain level of compliance?
When he was doing all that, I thought how ironic it was that Bibi’s brother, Yoni, lost his life in the 70s (see the book Entebbe) trying to rescue and free Israelis that were taken hostage, and now here was Yoni’s brother, Bibi, trying to harm Israelis and force/pressure/mandate them to be injected with substances of unknown levels of toxicity.
Plus there were the “vaccine passports” and restrictions on movement that were being implemented in Israel during “covid,” taking away fundamental liberty.
The contrast between the two brothers was very stark to me.
I was surprised that Bibi was re-elected after all that.
While I agree with the concerns expressed in this article - and greatly appreciate the honesty on this topic (seemingly hard to find among conservatives) - I don’t think for a minute that Bibi is the “good guy” in what is happening, or that he is unaware.
When I heard someone say, early on, that this was Israel’s September 11th, my immediate thought was - oh, you mean their government either planned or allowed it to happen? Just as I don’t believe FDR was caught off guard during Pearl Harbor or that George Bush was caught off guard or unawares about September 11, I have a hard time believing that Netanyahu was kept in the dark regarding the current situation.
It is all a mess. The world needs Messiah. Soon.
It will be a remnant of Israel that God uses in the end times to bring the good news to a fallen world. The new world Israelites that we have in place today are following the script of the Satan who came on the scene at the fall of man. Yet some today are Christ followers but many are not and it is proven in the evil penetration of a created enemy. We are living in Old Testament times and God is still in charge.
