Its possible there was some element within Israeli intelligence that wanted to exploit an opportunity, god knows there's no shortage of genocidal elements in the military, but everything about this runs counter to everything Israel has been trying to do for decades. Nobody gives a fuck about the Palestinians, the peace process is long dead, they had normalised relations with most arab states, Iran was effectively contained, and there was virtually no significant global resistance to their strategy. There is no way in hell that Netanyahu would willingly place all of that in the hands of the fates, certainly not at the probable cost of his own political survival. If you hold all the cards in a poker game, are you really going to upend the table in the hope of snatching the pot in the chaos?
Since it's been a while since we had an Israel/Palestine thread...

This is about as far down the 9/11 conspiracy theory rabbit-hole I'm prepared to go. In the aftermath of that attack, it became a commonplace to note that the FBI, CIA, NSA and other US intel/security agencies were enormously competitive with each other, shared barely any information, and, perhaps anecdotally, that each agency had many people working for it who regarded the others as being staffed by incompetent halfwits, if not thoroughly infiltrated by the Russians, Chinese or whoever (this, after all being, the kind of career where if you're not paranoid, then you're not doing your job possibly). So it's not much of a stretch to imagine that one person, or a small group, felt their own positions might be benefited by wilfully failing to pass on information indicating a possible imminent large-scale attack, either to their own superiors or to their counterparts in another agency. Some might even have felt, in some weird way, that it would be in the American national interest in the long run.
Perhaps not Netanyahu, but for his own awfulness, there are people in the Israeli government who are far more hardline and fanatical than he is.

Yes, there's been a massive upswing in both anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish hate crime. Just like there is every time the conflict flares up.Teacher killed in France school stabbing

Any truth in this, about China? Not sure if there is a source listed here, or in the comments.

it's certainly true that tensions between the us and china are high, relative to the average for the last twenty years (for example)

Am I (or droid or padraig or whoever) now meant to respond with another instance of anti-Palestinian or anti-Muslim violence? Is that how this fun game is meant to work?Brussels shooting: 'Europe shaken' after two Swedes shot dead - BBC News

Please take the hint - in fact, the repeated, explicit request - and fuck off.

The IDF spokesperson said that Hezbollah carried out shooting attacks on northern Israel with Iranian backing in order to distract the IDF from the southern front.

There is a reason though. It's cos yr posts here are profoundly ignorant, unserious, and add nothing to the topic.
