Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally and explicitly warned that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major attack roughly 10 days before the October 7 massacre, but dismissed the threat and did not alert his security chiefs, according to a shocking new Haaretz report.

The revelations come from research for an upcoming book Hostages: 843 Days of Abandonment, written by journalists Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval, who writes for Haaretz.

    Israel wants “Greater Israel”, and will use whatever means to get it, from the river to the sea.

    HAMAS is sworn to destroy Israel and will use whatever means to do so, from the river to the sea.

    l could believe this, it’s fully plausible that October 7 was a trap. But, that trap was inevitable and could not be avoided by HAMAS, because HAMAS must attack. They will attack again …and of course Israel will respond, and use any attack as justification to grab as much territory as they can (with a ten-fold response).

    They both have the same goals, they are locked in.
