Netanyahu’s office admits staff didn’t pass on alert hours before Oct. 7 attack
Times of Israel ^ | 3/2/2025 | TOI staff

Posted on 03/02/2025 6:50:27 PM PST by logi_cal869

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office acknowledged Saturday that the premier’s intelligence officer had received an Israel Defense Forces memo detailing suspicious Hamas activity three hours before the terror group’s October 7, 2023, invasion and onslaught, and didn’t pass it on. The premier’s office argued that this was justified given what it said was the document’s non-urgent framing.

The admission came in response to a Channel 12 report that said the IDF had drafted a document setting out the numerous worrying signs of Hamas activity in Gaza that night and sent it out to the intelligence officers of seven key Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu and then-defense minister Yoav Gallant.

That’s an officer who will lose his job, or should.

This sounds bad but how many memos detailing suspicious Hamas activity are sent in a month...week...day?

Right, this could be just a chance for political opponents or ambitious partisans to try to score points. Was this a strong attempt by some intelligence analyst to warn of ominous signs they saw, or a basically routine report?

That doesn't mean that Hamas are not despicable psychopathic murderers.

It is admitted that field reports that were alarming were downplayed as they moved up the chain of command.

And the Attorney General further delayed immediate response while she speculated on legal details. The same AG now trying to help a coverup:

“That doesn’t mean that Hamas are not despicable psychopathic murderers.”

No. But it doesn’t mean that a big part of the Israeli “deep state”, or Netanyahu’s administration, aren’t clueless bureaucratic screwups.

Yeah, right. That is why AFTER the attack started, it was about 8 hours before the IDF responded with any serious show of force. 8 hours. On the most intensely guarded border with 24/7 eyeball surveillance of every inch of the fence line.

It didn’t help that even if warned the population had been disarmed by their own government.

Initiative.

While 9/11 was implemented on Bush’s watch, the government weaknesses were formed during the prior administration.

Netanyahu took office in January 2023.

The initial big action was a ‘Judicial Overhaul’ that the ousted liberals were fighting. - sound familiar?

There was most likely an intentional delay so that the “event” could be as bad as possible to outrage the Israeli public to the max so that it would support the total final solution, the annihilation of all the residents of Gaza turning it into a rubble. The reports also indicate that many of the horrific incidents did not happen as reported. To be sure, there was an attack and people were killed. But there are indications that the most gruesome reports were not backed up factually and may have also been part of the plan to gain maximum impact on public opinion. It occurred a long time ago and Netanyahu refused any effort to explain the lack of military response for as long as he could. There has been much speculation in Israel that the military response was not at all what the IDF is capable of doing. It can scramble helicopters and other aircraft to put down attackers in minutes if it so chooses.

They knew. They let it happen. They wanted "their 9/11" and they got it.

It's time to face the facts: Just as America's government is corrupt and THIS close to evil, so is oUr GrEatEsT aLLy!

Truth be told, they are slimier than pretty much anyone else. Epstein was mossad. And how many young girls were raped and killed to give them "k0mPRoMat!" on Americans?

This is the country and those are the behinds our CONserva-cucks in CONgress love to kiss.
