An Israeli newspaper says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was directly warned by the president of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning a major offensive just days before the militant group attacked on Oct. 7, 2023.
(Israel) insisted on not escalating and diligently preserving the ‘asset’ named Hamas
It is a long read but very worth it. If I had to summarize:
Israel wanted to keep Hamas as a bogeyman to justify their fascist government. They needed an enemy strong enough to scare people, but not strong enough to defeat them.
Hamas begged Israel to negotiate peace. Israel strung them along for years and years and years. Hamas warned Israel the attack was coming if they didn’t sign agreements they had already promised to sign.
Hamas warned Israeli allies, to try and talk sense into Israel. Hamas warned more allies. Many countries tried to talk sense into Israel, but Israel only wanted to preserve the ‘asset’ named Hamas, and peace wouldn’t do that.
Faced with the truth, an enemy next door with far more power, who had trapped them in a ghetto and planned to keep it active permanently for generations, Hamas did something terrible to break the unwinnable situation Israel and its well funded allies had created.
During the October 7th attack Israel ordered their soldiers to shoot all captured IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens. Israel wanted an excuse for genocide, more than they wanted their people alive.
The day after Hamas attacked they reached out and offered to release all hostages, and all they wanted in return was for Israel to come back to the negotiation table they had refused to honor before, and to allow a mediator to attend. Israel refused.
Hamas was going to release all hostages immediately, for just the public promise that Israel would attend peace negotiations, and Israel refused. Israel wanted the excuse for genocide, more than they wanted their citizens.
Israel wanted only destruction. They cultivated only destruction for decades. We see them now, as they have always been.
Posting again. Sorry if you have to see this twice, but it’s important.
The original journalists who spent years putting this together, an Israeli Jewish publication. This is real investigative journalism.
