If it is proven that any israeli official had even a fingernail’s foreknowledge of this attack they should face a firing squad.
On second thought not to worry…more than half the country would take turns.
The fact that I or anyone else should even consider this possibility sickens me. I don’t like Netanyahu mucho. But even he wouldn’t do that. Would he? I can’t believe he would.

Let me preface this to say that I know very little about this whole conflict and the context of the latest attacks. You, having lived there, would know much more than myself.
However, as I get older, I start to think more about how things happen versus what the media just feeds me. I start to look at and listen to more than one side or the other.
In the past, I had "learned" to have a lot of respect for BiBi. More recently, not so much. This war didn't just start this week. There has been brewing hatred for decades (if not longer).
I truly believe the only reason that there are still Palestinians in Gaza is Israel had no real choice. The whole world, and DEFINITELY the Arabs in the middle east would never allow it. If the Arabs had their way, it would be reversed.
With all that being said, why wouldn't a "leader" look for an opportunity to accomplish the main goals (which is to obliterate the Palestinians)?
This doesn't seem much different then wanting to kick some ones ass at the age of 18 and saying "hit me, hit me", thereby provoking it.
I find it very hard to believe that the most elite intelligence agency in the world, didn't see this coming. So then, if they saw it coming, why let it happen? Maybe to accomplish the goal!! I don't think Israel thought Hammas would be able to inflict so much damage.
However, Bibi has now said, "they want WAR, they will get WAR." Seems like a means to the end if you ask me.
And no one would jump in from the Arabs as that would force the US to act.
And even then, Israel has shown they can hold their own....
