Back when this was happening, my initial thought was "no way they didn't knew about this, they're allowing the incursion to start a war"

Yep. Israli governments have been pushing Palestinian terrorism to further their own narratives/goals for a loooong time now.
replies:
They weren't just warned, they extended the concert and moved its location so that it would be hit by the October 7th attack they knew was coming.
It's one of the most blatantly ghoulish acts of a government to sacrifice its own people to manufacture consent to ramp up genocide.
The fact it took this long for the New York times to admit what we all knew immediately after it happened and what people in the region knew about a week beforehand...
The warning, though vague, proved to be correct.
Reading the article, it doesn’t sound like one big conspiracy. The warning was not actionable: “something big is going to happen at some point”, and there were good reasons not to preemptively escalate: not wanting to risk a deal with Saudi Arabia.
Israels primary crime is not that they let this attack happen, it’s that they committed genocide.
replies:
He didn't just know, he funded Hamas so they could attack
replies:
I mean Hamas only existed because Netanyahu and the likud party was propping them up and had been for a long time. Or at least existed in the current form.
I'll go one further and say nutty yahoo orchestrated an attack on his country in order to precipitate the imperialistic genocide he's unleashed on Palestine and Gaza.
Israel admitted they killed their own people during October 7 and bumped those death numbers up btw.
Anyone have a non-paywalled mirror to the NYT article?
replies:
He was on his way to jail before that attack though...
Let's be honest, there are always vague warnings, and there are always attacks, too. Thousands of missiles, stabbings, shootings, and bombings, attacks are always in the works and being committed by all.
who knew?
So the NYTimes took some time off from framing hamas for rape to report negative information on netanyahu there, great guys. But they are only doing it because Israel has fallen to 1/3 support in the US. Fuck you, die NYTimes.
I found this 4 year old video and it's really funny with modern day's context
