“Benjamin Netanyahu has been accused of ignoring warnings that could have prevented the Oct 7 massacre.
The Israeli prime minister was personally warned by Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), that Hamas was planning a major operation against Israel days before the attack, according to a new investigation.
It claims that Mr Netanyahu did not update Israeli security leaders and did nothing with the information he received about 10 days before the attack.”

@DeterminedRat has a thread containing the Haaretz article that details all the warnings Netanyahu had about October 7th. Surprisingly very little engagement for what is a comprehensive write up.

Yes. Read the same article this morning. Things are getting tricky.

Slowly but surely the evidence stsrts to come, it was always somewhat incredible that Israel didn't know something was about to happen.

Interesting. When I made a similar comment on this section a couple of weeks ago, my posts were deleted and I was called antisemitic.
We don't know for sure what happened as yet, and may never know, but there is certainly some evidence out there that senior Israelis did know in advance.

I read the article.
It was fascinating and pretty damning.
I would have thought it'd sink BN hopes in the coming election.
I don't think many posters on here will mind about that.
Receiving and ignoring a warning is categorically not the same as knowing something is going to happen and allowing it to.

Indeed. A major difference.

There will be those who blame Israel for this, naturally it was all their fault. The blame is on Hamas and the other civilians who went into Israel to rape, torture, murder and kidnap.

Any leaders in Israel that ignored warnings need holding to account but to suggest they allowed it, is rather sick.

Would explain why the female IDF spotters along the Gaza border at Nahal Oz were ignored despite repeatedly flagging up signs of Hamas prepping for a major attack.

Many lost their lives or were hostages due to Oct 7th.

Appalling way to die.

"In a video shot by Hamas, one fighter can be seen addressing a group of spotters whose hands are tied and whose faces are pointed at the wall. “You dogs, we will step on you,” he says.

Amar was shot three times in the back and killed as she sheltered in the migunit, Moshe said. The shelter was left blackened and charred, with bone fragments later found among the ashes"

An enquiry is needed. They should have heeded warnings but arrogance or not imagining the magnitude of attack doesn't mean they wanted it to occur. Theres a massive difference between incompetence and wanting something.

The UK incompetence has meant more died when a terrorist attack occurred eg Manchester arena, and lessons are learned but doesn't therefore follow it was allowed to go ahead as some imply. 😓

Yes I agree, the blame is fully on Hamas for the atrocity of Oct 7th. These revelations don’t mean BN or Israel is at fault. I think it is more that BN is not fit to continue as PM of Israel and many senior leaders aren’t either. Whether they ignored warnings because they were prejudiced against the source- ie UAE= Arab and racism caused him ignore the warnings, or in the case of the IDF female spotters = hysterical woman and sexism caused the male military leaders to ignore the spotters. It is more for how can Israel do better to prevent future attacks from anyone by addressing any systemic racism and sexism within the ranks that are making them more vulnerable to attacks.

No, it's not sick. It just makes you feel uncomfortable. Information suggesting that Bibi was at least warned about a potential attack has now appeared in the MSM after being in the alternative media space for a long time. We do know that Israel has the best intelligence service in the world so it does seem odd that this major attack was missed. We don't know what happened for sure at this stage.

There is a major difference between knowing something might happen and being incompetent and not taking it seriously, then to knowing a major terrorist attack was about to happen and allowing it to go ahead. A huge difference.

Hamas and all the followers and other joining in, are to blame for the terrorist attacks on October 7th.

He's definitely not fit to continue, hes an awful individual and the sooner he hoes the better.

Yes they need to improve to stop future attacks because they are bound to keep coming. Some may not realise 😕 but many terrorist organisations funded by Iran just wish to eradicate Israel, they are so fussed about helping their own people though.

Yes of course there is a big difference. I was disagreeing when you said it was 'sick' to even consider that some of the Israeli leaders allowed it for their own reasons. It is definitely possible. No one can be certain at present.
