Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

The Machiavellians mon ami were Hamas, convincing the Israelis, IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet and all, that they were happy to live alongside them, all the while constructing the world's largest underground tunnel system, paid for mainly by EU taxpayers of course. Very clever. Just a shame it's wrought devastation upon them, they didn't really think it through did they.

Sometimes your pretend naivety really tickles my tummy mon ami. Are you seriously telling me a spy agency that knew the names & addresses of 3000 Hezbollah operatives had no idea Hamas had built a labyrinth of tunnels and were planning to attack a Rave Party 200 yards from the wire fence separating Israel and Gaza on October 7th? Machiavelli would be immensely proud of Netanyahu, the IDF and their ploys.

However, if Israel had acted on the intelligence that you claim they have, they would have been condemned for going into Gaza and stopping the acts of terror that Hamas were planning because the world and its mother would have said that they had no proof.
Hamas fell for it and decided that they were bigger than Israel and carried out their act of terror. This has resulted in Israeal ensuring that Hamas know that Israel will retaliate. Now the world and its mother are crreating a stink, not because Hamas attacked and terrorised innocent civilians, but because Israel has defended itself.

Common denominator ----it doesn't matter what Israel does -----the world and its mother will be against it.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Sudan, Pakistan etc., etc. .............. who are the ones who always suffer? It's nothing new, sadly.

Like you mon ami, I do enjoy a good conspiracy theory. I loved the BBC reporter who reported from New York on 9/11 that Building Seven had now collapsed, while in the background you could see Building Seven still standing.............but not for long.
