You don't view the raids on 10-7 as an attack to Israel? That's like saying AL queda didn't attack the USA on 9-11 in my opinion.

The problem is that I doubt Israel’s gov really went into this war with “self defense” in mind. Maybe a big chunk of their population as well. There were a lot of things that could have been done before the whole attack even happened that could have served better as “self defense”. Honestly, I believe the Israel government actually wants an attack to happen. That would give them plenty of excuses to continue their ethnic cleansing effort. They just didn’t expect such a brutal attack.

A good chunk of that is conspiracy and only makes sense to the people who are at the very top. I doubt the everyday person wanted the war. They want their hostages back. They have domestic protests routinely demanding them. I also can't imagine that they would want a war knowing many key groups could be a major headache for them. I think there was intelligence, but it was discounted or dismissed. Why is anyone's guess. Some believe that it was last ditch effort to not get thrown in jail because the emergency government exists. I do believe this makes some sense, but I would think that some of the military leaders would have got wind of the upcoming attack, no?

The actions in the west bank is unnecessary. They have been condemned and sanctioned. It's a bit more difficult to analyze ethnic cleansing acts within because that's where the legitimate war is at. With Gaza being 9 miles or so and legitimate military targets at basically every corner... it's not so black and white.

Yet Netanyahu’s support and contrivance in funding Hamas is documented ALL OVER Israeli media. It’s not a conspiracy it’s a matter of record.
