    But what happened to the security infrastructure that Israel is so proud of

    Sometimes things need to magically "fail" so leaders can get the war that they want, but can't openly start.

      Especially when they're in trouble for corruption charges and making sweeping changes to their country's justice system to help themselves at the detriment of their democracy?

      The Israeli far right and Hamas are symbiotic, they justify each other's rule and keep the other in power

        That is just the thing. It was the same with GB and the IRA. Terrorist organization and the hard-line governments they oppose have a simbiotic relationship to their mutual benefit and the detriment of anybody else.

      I hate agreeing with conspiracy theories but everyone here gets what they want. Everyone being Hamas and Bibi, and what they want being sticking to power.

        Right now it's not a conspiracy theory, it's important questions that need answers before it gets swept under the rug

        When you look into the kind of stuff that happens worldwide, you'll quickly realise that the usual conspiracy theories become tame in comparison to the real world. There's a credible reason why an apartheid state would synthesise conditions for further oppression.

        As a lesser known example, is Operation Car Wash in Brazil. You might remember a few years ago current President Lula was under investigation for corruption. Then the Car Wash leaks[1] happened and showed the whole thing was a right wing legal campaign with actual US agents involved.

        It was reported that Mr. Dallagnol had called Lula da Silva's arrest “a gift from the CIA”.

        The only victims here are both the Israeli and Palestinian citizens, who have more accurately been gangbanged from both sides by the IDF and Hamas.

        Nice false equivalency and misinterpretation of my point.
