   Now that we have the videos of Israeli officials detailing their plan to empower Hamas and squash the PLO because [paraphrased] "nobody on the world stage will accept Hamas" and the PLO was being a nuisance by gaining support for their push to become an independent state I think we can put the pin in this one
   
   Everything here was carefully planned to give them justification for what we're seeing. If we're lucky we'll even get confirmation that the attack (which they were warned about) was allowed (why else were all those soldiers moved before it happened?) because they thought they'd get near universal support from Israeli citizens and the world.
   
   Wild stuff. Will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

     Huh? No we weren't. If we did. By whom?

     @coin Why'd they move all those soldiers to the West Bank when the warnings was for Gaza specifically though? That's what's so damn suspicious.

     @feld Hindsight is always 20/20

     “It is my assumption - though I’m not on the inside - that there would be data breaking through that could have been interpreted differently and certainly would be with hindsight,” he said.

     @feld It was Simhat Tora on a Saturday, usually soldiers get a small break on holiday seasons to be with family. Guards are generally halved because of this.

     @coin makes sense and that was likely a factor, but this article provides some additional context
