Weeks before the October 7 Massacre, opposition leader יאיר לפיד - Yair Lapid warned Netanyahu that Israel was on the brink of a violent, multi-front conflict. Turns out he was far from the only one.

Eylon, please, be real. You know exactly what this is about, and Lapid makes it clear at the end of the video. This wasn’t a warning intended to take more precautions or actions militarily - this was nothing but scaremongering to pressure the government into abandoning the much-needed judicial reforms. Most importantly, you know very well that the security establishment failed to inform Netanyahu about the far more serious and IMMEDIATE warning signs the night before Oct 7. And as for blindly believing Haaretz… I guess if this report fits the narrative, why not, right?

@yairlapid It originates from Haaretz Eylon ffs 🤦🏻

@yairlapid How did Lapid know? Did he forget to tell the security establishment, those in the field? He doesn't give the impression of being one who interprets intelligence reports better than Ronen Bar and Hertzi HaLevi?

@yairlapid Bibi must go. He has failed as a peace-time and war-time leader. But replaced by who? Certainly not Lapid.

@yairlapid The way he ends this warning demonstrates he was part of the "consepsia" as well.

@yairlapid Bekannt seit August 2021:

@yairlapid "Not aligned". That's the key phrase. The problem wasn't that they didn't wake him up that morning. The problem was that it wasn't obvious that they SHOULD wake him up that morning.

@yairlapid Glad @EylonALevy you're publishing this in English.

@yairlapid Netanyahu has done untold damage to Israel and jews around the world. Why is he not hated?

You’re becoming a useful idiot for miles and clicks. Tread very carefully Ilon. If you lay in bed with traitors, liars and propagandists, you may wake up as one of them. There’s an op to oust the @IsraeliPM Like all the others, it will also fail. And the rats who run from the cratering wreckage will say they’ve been duped and lied to and would never have done it had they known Don’t say you didn’t know.

@yairlapid צה"ל ידע ובכל זאת הלך לישון באילת בהדממה? למה אתה מקדם את תאוריית הבגידה?

And about the hamas, @EylonALevy , did he say something..? Ronen Bar and Halevi were chosen in Bennett-Lapid’s government. Do you have any proof if these two guys who are directly involved in the october 7 entered in contact with Netanyahu on time..? you’re a secularist who’s against the judaic state, Israel was always involved in multi-front wars, and if today it breathes better it’s thanks to @netanyahu , it doesn’t exist doubt about this.

@yairlapid You positive? That it turns out?

@yairlapid Lies from Haaretz:

@yairlapid He appointed general staff commander against all of political traditions about care taker government, Lapid and Baharav Miara own the October 7th failure Now media is portraying it the opposite!

@yairlapid BS

**Strategem 7 of the 36 stratagems** is called **无中生有** (*wú zhōng shēng yǒu*) in Chinese and is usually translated in english as **“Generate something out of nothing”** or **“Generate something out of nothing”**. It belongs to the second group, the **enemy combat strategies** (敌战计), and is one of the classic pretense or deception strategies. ### Core idea You consciously create an illusion: you pretend to have something that you don't have - or vice versa. What is crucial is the **interaction of appearance and reality**: - First you repeat a deception (false alarm, dummy, rumor) until your opponent sees through it and no longer takes it seriously. - This is exactly when you make something real out of “nothing”: The third “false alarm” is the real attack. The classic comment goes like this: *"Deception, and yet not just a deception - you make what has been deceived into reality. Small yin, big yin, then yang."* ### The famous example: Zhang Xun and the Straw Dolls (756 AD) During the An Lushan Rebellion, Linghu Chao besieged the city of Yongqiu. The defenders under General Zhang Xun ran out of arrows. 1. Zhang Xun lowered over 1,000 straw dolls in black robes on ropes over the wall at night. The besiegers shot massive amounts of arrows at it. The defenders raised the doll-draped arrows again. 2. When the same maneuver was repeated, the besiegers laughed and no longer responded. 3. Zhang Xun then let down real soldiers. The surprise attack succeeded; the siege camp was set on fire. This is the classic application: first create an illusion, then use the illusion as a cover for reality. ### Other meanings and applications In the Chinese tradition and with interpreters such as Harro von Senger, the stratagem includes several variants: - Repeated false alarms until attention wanes - Creating an illusion to create an advantage or a change of heart - Spreading rumors, “making an elephant out of a mosquito”, defamation - Create a new, constructive idea or strength out of nothing (also in a figurative, non-warlike sense) Today it is often applied to business, negotiations, politics and communication: building reputation where there was none before; make a product or threat appear credible; or conversely, present an existing strength as an illusion so that the opponent underestimates it. ### Classification The 36 Stratagems are traditionally attributed to Tan Daoji (died 436), but the text as we know it dates from the Ming period. They stand in the tradition of Sunzi (“All acts of war are based on deception”) and the yin-yang thinking: from emptiness comes fullness, from appearance reality. The strategy is not a pure bluff in the long term - a pure bluff is quickly seen through. The art lies in controlling the transition from false to true in such a way that the opponent is unprepared exactly when things get serious.

@ShelaghFogarty @yairlapid Oooooh Nylon. Is this the new script? Throw Milekowsky under the bus and hope that makes the genocide go away!! Are you getting paid now? Because you weren’t getting your shekels a few months ago were you? Did you get that sorted out aye?

@yairlapid its that traitor who said ar the time there will be a civil war in Israel cause of suprem court reform…he pushed to that. when gaza collapsed tsahal found proofs that hamas launched his attack taking benefit of the turmoil in tel aviv streets by protesters paid by quatar! ifiot

@yairlapid Too bad you can’t dial out the BDS (bibi derangement syndrome) effects from your otherwise laudable efforts to support Israel on this platform. Oh well…

@yairlapid Israeli lefties organised October 7.

@yairlapid There is a question prior to any debate about the possible warnings in the weeks before the October 7 massacre: Why was the IDF leaving that border so INDEFENSIBLY EXPOSED? Why, on October 7, was there no OPERATIONAL plan for defense in depth?

@yairlapid גם אם כל היום וכל הלילה תחזרו על השקר הוא לא יהפוך לאמת .

@yairlapid If this is all true why did the shabak and IDF so sure that there was no threat? This is not new unknown evidence that's been burried for three years.

@yairlapid BS ALERT ‼️

@yairlapid Orwell would not portray it better: Same Journalists who promoted defection and deserting IDF top units because of Juduciary reforms the government advanced are blaming Netanyahu of betrail.

@yairlapid Fake news

@yairlapid Who's more of a dimwit, the dimwit or the one who retweets him? Damn, you're just bad.

@yairlapid Israel is constantly on the brink of a multi front conflict - do the question is really why the IDF and Shin bet were not ready It's not as if these terrorists respect Yom Kippur or any Jewish sacred day

@yairlapid I call BS

@yairlapid Bullshits

@yairlapid תוסיף גם את זה.
