    The evidence has been mounting for years, and even this specific revelation just confirms what was known since 2024. Yes, the current Israeli regime absolutely has a master plan for killing all Palestinians and taking over their territories, and yes, this plan absolutely includes manipulating public opinion globally - in other words, lying about it. It also includes supporting Hamas.

    They discuss all this relatively openly in knesset.

    Anyhow, here’s a lengthy quote from the article. There are links in it which didn’t copy over, so please click on the article and further links.

    This is not the first article of this kind btw, and many come straight from Israeli more-or-less-mainstream outlets.

    this testimony from an on-duty IDF soldier sits next to a wealth of documented evidence Israel knew of the attack well ahead of time. Reporting on this, US independent outlet The Young Turks pointed to a number of these. One was a New York Times article from November 2023 detailing how Israeli officials had:

    obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened

    It also highlighted an article by Israeli news site Haaretz from June 2024 which buttressed this further. It confirmed that the Israeli intelligence had “detailed knowledge of Hamas’s plan”. The same outlet has underscored IDF command ignoring intel from women soldiers patrolling at the border, warning of an impending attack.

    Moreover, Israel deliberately deploying its Hannibal Directive makes the soldier’s testimony all the more believable as well. This Israeli military policy prefers the murder of its own soldiers, over them becoming hostages. Numerous Israeli press reports and revelations from Israeli military officials revealed a “mass Hannibal” order that directed the slaughter of civilians Hamas took captive.

    Israel’s then defense minister Yoav Gallant later admitted that the government implemented the Hannibal Directive on 7 October.

    In other words, Israel was fully prepared to murder its own citizens.

    And they’re clever enough to leave their supporters with one final argument, even if they find out about these very real conspiracies: Hamas still actively perpetrated the attack.
