Documents
expose Israeli conspiracy to facilitate October 7 attack By Andre Damon
On Friday, the New York
Times published a report establishing conclusively that Israel
was fully informed, in detail, of plans by Hamas to attack its border that were
executed on October 7. These revelations make clear that Israeli officials,
knowing full well where and how Hamas would strike, made a deliberate decision
to stand down in order to facilitate the attack.
These revelations mean that the Israeli government allowed and abetted
the killing of their own citizens and that the Israeli government is
responsible for the deaths that took place that day. This criminal conspiracy
was aimed at establishing a pretext for a long-planned genocide against the
people of
Moreover, it is impossible to believe that the
The Times published
this report Monday as
The Times reported that
The approximately 40-page
document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined,
point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths
of about 1,200 people.
The document obtained by Israeli intelligence forces
“meticulously described the attack method, mirroring the actual events,”
the Times reported.
“It outlined an intense assault aimed to breach Gaza Strip fortifications,
seize Israeli cities, and target key military bases. This plan was implemented
with alarming accuracy, involving a coordinated use of rockets, drones, and
ground forces.”
The Times reports,
Hamas followed the blueprint with
shocking precision. The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset
of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine
guns along the border, and gunmen to pour into
Moreover, the Times reported,
Israeli military and intelligence officials knew Hamas carried out an
exhaustive, day-long training mission to practice the plan in detail just three
months before the attack. The Times states,
The training included a dry run of
shooting down Israeli aircraft and taking over a kibbutz and a military
training base, killing all the cadets. During the exercise, Hamas fighters used
the same phrase from the Quran that appeared at the top of the Jericho Wall
attack plan.
Even while acknowledging that Israel was fully informed of Hamas’s
plans, the Times seeks
to package the revelations with an alibi, asserting, without any
substantiation, that Israeli officials simply made a mistake. The Times writes,
Underpinning all these failures
was a single, fatally inaccurate belief that Hamas lacked the capability to
attack and would not dare to do so. That belief was so ingrained in the Israeli
government, officials said, that they disregarded growing evidence to the
contrary...
The failures to connect the dots
echoed another analytical failure more than two decades ago, when the American
authorities also had multiple indications that the terrorist group Al Qaeda was
preparing an assault.
No,
The Times writes,
“Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as
aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.” It adds,
“It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political
leaders saw the document.”
This presentation is absurd. It is impossible to believe that
information of this character could come into the possession of the
intelligence agencies without provoking the most intense analysis. The
idea that, after 9/11, such high-level plans would be kept from the prime
minister is unbelievable.
Such a document would have come from a source at the highest levels of
Hamas. Once this valuable information was obtained, it would have been vital to
take action to protect the source, including countermeasures to make Hamas
believe
The Times’
claim that
Four days after the October 7 attack, veteran journalist Seymour Hersh
reported that in the days ahead of the attack, “local Israeli military
authorities, with the approval of Netanyahu, ordered two of the three Army
battalions, each with about 800 soldiers, that protected the border with Gaza
to shift their focus to the Sukkot festival” taking place near the West Bank.
Hersh quoted a source who told him, “That left only eight hundred
soldiers … to be responsible for guarding the 51-kilometer border between the
Gaza Strip and southern
The stand-down not only left the border vulnerable to attack, it
created the conditions where military forces had to be transferred to intercept
Hamas attackers in civilian areas, creating conditions in which Israeli tank
and helicopter forces shot indiscriminately into civilian areas, further
swelling the Israeli death toll.
In addition to the military stand-down,
