Wow. I've never heard this before. /sarcasm.

I'm going to start dropping this post in all these threads...

Netanyahu's reactions were predictable and the goal of the Oct 7 atrocities.

Just simple observation tells me...

1. The Oct 7 attack was designed to be so horrific that Netanyahu would have an excuse to ramp up attacks on Gaza...

2. Where Hamas has deliberately embedded themselves into hospitals, schools, and homes, so that any attack on Hamas is an attack on civilians....

3. And upset many Israeli soldiers so much that war crimes became inevitable...

4. There was a well-designed propaganda machine ready to roll the morning of Oct 8, complete with cute emojis, spread through DSA and other youth-oriented movements in the U.S., which would ensure that....

5. There would be clashes on college campuses to provide headlines, excuses for congressional inquiries and deeply hypocritical and cynical accusations of antisemitism and toxic woke by the likes of Elise Stefanik, all designed to convince American voters that we have a CRISIS at WOKE UNIVERSITIES caused by Democrats that only Trump can fix...

6. And meanwhile don't vote for genocide joe or killer kamala, thus ensuring that Trump would win...

7. And enable Netanyahu to further ramp up human rights violations and further destabilize the whole region..

8. All to the benefit of sniggering sociopathic billionaires. Everybody else loses.
