Wait a minute. So you're telling me bibi was hoping for the good 'ol wartime bump in support and a distraction from his corruption charges and thus may-or-may-not have waved away detailed intelligence reports of an impending attack...?
Color me just shocked.
The attack has benefitted both sides in a very cynical way. Netanyahu's reaction has made Israel much more isolated internationally and if any Palestinians make it through all this, they will be even more likely to support a violent and extremist organization like Hamas.
It's a win-win for Netanyahu and Hamas and a huge lose-lose for both Israelis and Palestinians.
I suggested this to a friend pretty much as soon as the war started, and I was called a conspiracy nut. Glad there are others who think similarly.
Right? Christ, it doesn't take a whole lot of ink to connect those dots. Any rational person observing someone obsessed with power and already proven to be corrupt recognizes this is a classic of megalomaniacs. Your friend was being obtuse and deflecting.
Seems like they should just chuck him to the ICC and when he's hanging by the neck in The Hague, the corruption charges will be moot.
