<\/div>\nEarly Saturday October 7, 2023, Hamas\u00a0launched \u201cOperation Al-Aqsa Storm\u201d\u00a0<\/b>led by Hamas\u2019 Military Chief\u00a0Mohammed Deif.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>On that same day,\u00a0Netanyahu confirmed a so-called \u201cState of Readiness For War\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Israel has now officially declared war on Palestine.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Military operations are invariably planned well in advance.\u00a0<\/em>Was \u201cOperation Al-Aqsa Storm\u201d a \u201csurprise attack\u201d? Did Netanyahu and his vast military and intelligence apparatus (Mossad et al) have foreknowledge of the Hamas\u00a0<\/em>attack?\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n U.S. intelligence say they\u00a0<\/i>weren\u2019t aware of an impending Hamas attack.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Was a carefully formulated plan to wage an all out war against Palestine envisaged prior to the\u00a0launching of \u00a0\u201cOperation Al-Aqsa Storm\u201d?<\/em><\/p>\n We bring to the attention of our readers the\u00a0incisive analysis of \u00a0Dr. Philip Giraldi<\/strong>\u00a0pointing to the likelihood of a\u00a0\u201cFalse Flag\u2019\u201d. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n — Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, October 8, 2023<\/p>\n Read below the incisive analysis by\u00a0Dr. Philip Giraldi.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *****<\/p>\n Am I the only one who read about a speech given by Netanyahu or someone in his cabinet about a week ago in which he\/they in passing referred to a \u201cdeveloping security situation\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0which rather suggests (to me) that they might have known about developments in Gaza and chose to\u00a0let it happen so they can wipe Gaza off the map<\/strong>\u00a0in retaliation and, possibly relying on the US pledge to have Israel\u2019s \u201cback,\u201d then implicating Iran and attacking that country.<\/p>\n I cannot find a link to it, but have a fairly strong recollection of what I read as I thought at the time it would serve as a pretext for another massacre of Palestinians.<\/p>\n As a former intelligence officer,\u00a0I find it impossible to believe that Israel did not have multiple informants inside Gaza as well as electronic listening devices all along the border wall which would have picked up movements of groups and vehicles.<\/strong><\/p>\n In other words, the whole thing might be a tissue of lies as is often the case.<\/p>\n And as is also ALWAYS the case\u00a0Joe Biden is preparing to send some billions of dollars to poor little Israel to pay for \u201cdefending\u201d itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n Philip M.
