The irruption in Israel caught many of us off guard. But to some extents it was a long-expected flashpoint escalation meant to begin the denouement of the Ukrainian conflict, by taking heat off from it. There are many circulating accounts of all the things that seem “off” about Hamas’ attack, so I won’t recount every single point here as most of you have likely read them in multiple places; things like the very implausible breach of Israel’s high tech gates and defenses, to the unprecedented failures of Mossad and Shin Bet, to Netanyahu’s eerily scripted invocation of ‘Pearl Harbor’, which is very telling considering that Pearl Harbor was also a falseflag attack with the purpose of bringing the U.S. into WW2.

I wasn’t sure where to post this, world news it isn’t, so here seems to be a good catch-all comm.

It’s a collection of speculations and theories surrounding the war in Palestine and its possible origins.

    I would have to agree, this a weak article especially compared to this same author’s writings about the Ukraine conflict, this one is meandering and confused and veers off into all sorts of irrelevant distractions and speculative hypotheticals. It goes to show that just because someone has demonstrated expertise in one subject does not mean they will have equally qualitative comments on another. I find this is where Marxists simply are a cut above, where non-Marxists often have to resort to convoluted conspiracy theories to explain reality, dialectical materialism allows us to look with clarity at the material conditions and social dynamics which drive conflict and struggles.
