![THE TRUTH ABOUT OCTOBER 7TH: Reports confirm that Netanyahu, the Mossad and the IDF deliberately allowed the October 7th attack by Hamas to take place. They knew one year in advance of the attack and did nothing to stop it. They deliberately stood down during the attack allowing many more innocent Israelis to be slaughtered in order to get domestic and international support for war in Gaza and Iran. HOW DID OCTOBER 7TH HAPPEN? On October 7th, Hamas was able to carry out its shocking terror attack against Israel, despite Israelโs intelligence, military and security apparatus commonly considered the best in the world. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself tweeted and quickly deleted a statement denying any foreknowledge of the October 7th attack. โUnder no circumstances and at no stage was Prime Minister Netanyahu warned of war intentions on the part of Hamas" the tweet said, before it was promptly deleted. Why did Netanyahuโs team delete that tweet? Because in fact he did have intelligence that there would be an attack by Hamas and tried to hide this from the world. Foreign security services, Israeli security services and the Israeli public all knew that Hamas was planning a violent, cross-border incursion where they would attempt to over-run and attack the kibbutz communities in southern Israel and take prisoners back to Gaza. And they also knew when. But it happened anyway. Why? Ten days before the attack, and then again three days before the attack, Egypt intelligence officials passed โrepeated warningsโ to the highest levels of Israelโs government. In one of these warnings, Egypts premiere intelligence minister General Abbas Kamel personally called Netanyahu and warned that Hamas was about to do โsomething unusual, a terrible operation.โ Unnamed Egyptian officials told YNET News that they were shocked by Netanyahuโs โindifference to the news.โ But Israel didnโt have to trust or believe Egypt, because actually, most of the warnings of the October 7th attack came from Israeli civilians and the Israeli military itself. The civilians and soldiers who brought these emergency warnings to the military were ignored and in some cases, strangely enough, threatened with legal action. In 2022, the IDF, through confidential sources, or spies, in Gaza, actually obtained the detailed Hamas Al Aqsa Flood attack plans. Codenamed โJericho Wallโ by Israel, the excursion plan called for a barrage of rockets to begin the attack and for gunmen to pour into Israel en masse via para-gliders, on motorcycles and on foot and take hostages back into Gaza, all of which happened on October 7th. Hamas followed the blueprint that Israel already had with shocking precision. So Israel had the attack blueprints, but were they taken seriously by the IDF? Yes, the plans were diligently studied. A presentation on the planned attack was given to senior officers in the IDFโS Gaza division. The presentation concluded with this sentence: โThis invasion constitutes the gravest threat that IDF forces are facing in the defense of Israelโ So in response to this, did Israelโs security establishment beef up and enhance their surveillance of Hamas militants on the other side of the border? No, stunningly, they actually did the exact opposite. They decided to entirely stop monitoring Hamasโs handheld radio traffic. Because they saw it โas a waste of effortโ even though during that same time in 2022, Israelis living in the kibbutz communities near the Gaza border, most of whom have some type of military training due to Israelโs mandatory IDF service laws, were, according to Israeli media, picking up clear evidence that Hamas was โpracticing the breaching of the fence and conquering kibbutzim and seizing hostages and destroying everything in their path.โ Then, In April 2023, 6 months before the attack, again according to Israeli media, the IDF โrestricted the abilityโ of Israelis living near the border โto monitor Hamasโ wireless traffic.โ In September 2023, less than a month before the attack, the head of the IDFโs โDevilโs Advocateโ intelligence unit, which challenges prevailing narratives within Israelโs military, twice alerted senior decision-makers in both the army and political spheres about Hamasโ plans for a large-scale cross-border military operation. He reiterated these warnings in person at Intelligence Branch strategic assessment sessions on September 26th and 27th. Just days before the attack. So it was clear to everyone that Hamas wasnโt only planning to do something horrible, but it was also clear what that horrible and evil thing was. According to a female IDF soldier who spoke to Israelโs channel 12 news program, she was constantly trying to warn her superiors about the gravity of Hamas training exercises. She was threatened with legal action. โWe were told that if we continue to harass on this issue, you will stand trial.โ So, Egypt knew, the Israeli military knew, and the Israeli civilians knew. Yet, two days before October 7th, the Israeli military took two entire commando brigades, or around 100 soldiers, away from the the soon to be breached locations of the Gaza border and sent them to the other side of the country, to the West Bank village of Huwara despite no Hamas presence being in Huwara and despite there being giant Israeli dance parties taking place right along the same border fence where violent, escalating and obvious Hamas drills of breaching and kidnapping were taking place. According to Israeli media reports, Lt. Col. Sahar Fogel, an operations officer at the IDFโs Gaza Division, opposed the approval of the Nova Party based on the last minute nature of its event application and the intensifying Hamas drills at the border and because if something were to happen, more soldiers were on holiday. It was the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The Lt. Col. explained his opposition to the partyโs approval to his superiors. He was instructed to allow the event. Israeli Newspaper Haaretz reported that other Gaza division officers privately โtold of irregular conduct and pressure surrounding the approval of the party.โ In February 2024, Elkana Federman, the head of security for the Nova festival gave an interview to Israelโs Channel 14 where he made a statement that hasnโt been reported on by any American media. โI had a guard at the festival who had served in the Reโim Division [near Gaza border], and a week before the festival he sent me a voice message, basically warning me, saying, โElkana, something is going to happen over Sukkot. I just wanted to let you know, there are a lot of warnings, I passed the voice message on to local IDF officials and they told me everything was all right.โ The Hamas attacks were violent and brutal. They have been likened to tragic events such as September 11th and the Holocaust, so it comes as a surprise that Benjamin Netanyahu and members of his Likud party have at times described the attacks as somewhat of a political gift. Nissim Vaturi, a member of Netanyahuโs Likud party in the Knesset, referred to the attack as sort of gift from God because they are being used to justify the current ongoing war, stating: โWe were meant to fight this war against Hamas, as is happening now, and luckily for us it came from the heavens.โ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained that Israel didnโt have domestic or international support to invade or destroy Gaza. He said the October 7th Hamas attack solved both of those problems for him, stating โWe couldnโt get the domestic consensus to make a definitive solution to the problem of Hamas. That is, no one would agree across the Israeli public to go in and basically destroy Hamas, go throughout Gaza and destroy Hamas. We didnโt have the international consensus either; nobody would understand why we are doing it. Both conditions were created because of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th.โ Did the Israeli military, the Israeli intelligence community, and the political leadership of Israel allow this ghastly attack to happen to justify wiping out the population of Gaza? The evidence proves, yes. WHERE WAS THE IDF? During the October 7th attacks what did the Israeli military do? For hours they did nothing, it was a deliberate military stand down order. It's important to remember that Israel is just slightly bigger than the size of the state of New Jersey. But for some reason, once the Hamas attacks began, the time it took the Israeli army and rescue teams to arrive, fight and rescue Israelis at the different kibbutz communities and sites being attacked took anywhere from 4 hours to more than 20 hours. The New York Times has reported: โThousands of soldiers were less than 40 minutes from the towns that were under attack.โ A video that Israeli media obtained from an army helicopter, corroborated by Israeli survivors, prove that there were more than 500 Israeli soldiers directly outside of the Kibbutz entrance, fully armed, with Humvees and tanks but it took 10 hours for those soldiers to show up. Avital, a survivor of the Beโeri attack, described to Haaretz: โ500 soldiers stood outside, with equipment and vehicles. I remember yelling at them, โWeโre being slaughtered, come in, save us and no one said anything.โ So why did it take so long for help to arrive? Haaretz reported: โAt 7 A.M., the party organizers called Lt. Col. Elad Zandani, the man tasked with approving the festival and told him that terrorists were shooting the partygoers. He suggested that they fend for themselves. The first IDF forces arrived at the party scene at 3 P.M., thatโs an 8 hour response time for one of the most efficient, capable and well militarized security forces in the world operating in a country the size of New Jersey with their Gaza division only a few miles away. And what makes this even more strange? Around 4 hours into the Hamas assault, at 10:46AM, Israel was already launching operations and bombing targets inside of Gaza. So, if Israel could begin an offensive attack into Gaza within 4 hours, why did it take more than 6 hours and in most cases more than 10 hours and even 20 hours in some cases to mobilize inside of their own country to stop the ongoing attack and to defend the lives of their own people? The New York Times quoted Ben Zion, an Israeli military reservist who spoke to Israeli media. He said his unit voluntarily left central Israel in a convoy at 1:30PM, they got together and left for the south on their own. He expected to see the roads packed with soldiers and equipment and armored vehicles heading south. โThe roads were empty!โ he recalled in an interview. Roughly seven hours into the fighting, he turned to the reservist next to him and asked: โWhereโs the IDF?โ The brutal and deadly Hamas terrorist attack of October 7th is so central to justifying Israelโs ongoing war in Gaza that Israel is actually outlawing questioning the October 7th government narrative. Israelis who spread information counter to the October 7th government narrative, which the Israeli Knesset calls โfalsehoods and propagandaโ could face up to 5 years in prison. Between the abundance of concrete evidence that suggests Israeli military allowed October 7th to happen by ignoring dozens of reliable and specific warnings, threatening soldiers with legal actions who tried to warn their military superiors and taking troops away from the area of the Gaza border that was attacked and now evidence that suggests there was some type of military stand down order in place on October 7th, it is important to ask, what was October 7th and what kind of war is the United States supporting? WHAT IS THE HANNIBAL DIRECTIVE? Images and videos of burnt cars, blacked and charred bodies and incinerated homes in southern Israel were plastered on every phone screen and television after the October 7th Hamas attack. The images and videos were used by the Israeli government to justify the militaryโs heavy handed tactics in their ongoing war against Hamas, But were all the images and videos actually the result of the Hamas attack? Innocent Israeli civilians were brutally killed by Hamas on October 7th, but there is evidence that proves the IDF killed their own Israeli citizens in what is known as the Hannibal Directive. To understand what the Israeli military did to their own civilians on October 7th, you have to understand the political aspirations of Hamas and what the goal of taking hostages is, it is political leverage. There are over 10,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails. 3,000 of whom havenโt been to trial or charged with a crime. When militant groups manage to capture Israeli civilians or soldiers it gives them leverage to force a prisoner swap and get some of their people out of Israeli prison. For example, in 1986, Hamas managed to kidnap 3 Israeli soldiers and bring them to Gaza. They demanded 1,150 Palestinian prisoners in return for these soldiers. After this, the military drafted a secret field order to prevent future kidnappings. It was called the "Hannibal Directive." The directive gets its name from the Carthaginian general who chose to poison himself rather than allow himself to be captured alive by the romans. In 2003, strangely enough on October 7th 2003, three Israeli soldiers were taken hostage and brought into Lebanon. Following the activation of the Hannibal Directive, IDF attack helicopters fired indiscriminately on 26 vehicles thus ensuring the death of their own soldiers and therefore robbing Lebanese militants of the ability to demand Israel make concessions. The Last known application of the Hannibal Directive was in 2014. In Rafah. Hamas fighters managed to capture an Israeli soldier, Lt. Hadar Goldin. Instead of allowing the lieutenant to be used as leverage by Hamas, the military killed him. Dropping bombs, missiles and shells on the area he was being held, killing the soldier and also over 100 Palestinian civilians. The scale of the Hannibal Directive on October 7th was entirely different from those of the past. A retired Israeli air force general, Nof Erez, described it during a podcast with Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper saying โThe Hannibal Directive was apparently applied at a certain stage, because at the moment they understand there is a kidnapping, they immediately say, โGuys, this is Hannibal.โ But the Hannibal we trained for all of the last twenty years, is for a vehicle we know at what point of the fence it enters, on what side it drives, and maybe even on which road it drives. This was a Mass Hannibal.โ We know the Hannibal Directive means to kill your own, so what does โmass Hannibalโ mean? A large mainstream Israeli media outlet reported: โIn the week after Black Shabbat, October 7th, soldiers of elite units, at the initiative of the Southern Command, checked about 70 vehicles that remained in the area between the Otaf settlements and the Gaza Strip. These are vehicles that did not reach Gaza, because on the way they were shot by a combat helicopter, an anti-tank missile or a tank, and at least in some cases everyone in the vehicle was killed.โ 70 vehicles and in some cases, everyone in the vehicle was killed. These are Israelis killed by Israel. Again, only reported on in the Israeli media. Tuval Escapa, is a member of the security team for Kibbutz Beโeri. He set up a hotline so kibbutz residents could communicate with the Israeli army. He told Haaretz that โthe commanders in the field made difficult decisions, including shelling houses on their occupantsโ in order to eliminate would-be hostages as well the terrorists. They shelled entire houses. Do we hear this in the American mainstream media? That the Israeli military targeted and destroyed over 70 cars with hellfire missiles that were filled with Israelis and that they decimated entire Israeli homes with tank shells? A report in Haaretz on October 20th notes that the Israeli military also carried out an airstrike on their own military base, the Erez crossing. That base was filled with Israeli Civil Administration officers and soldiers at the time. An Israeli woman named Yasmin Porat gave an interview with Israel Radio that the military โundoubtedlyโ killed numerous Israeli hostages during gun battles with Hamas militants. IDF General Barak Hiram, prevented hundreds of troops from entering Kibbutz Beโeri for hours on October 7th, when he finally allowed the IDF to go in, he ordered tanks to fire on multiple homes. The tank shells killed at least 12 Israeli hostages and 3 children. Recently the UN published an investigation confirming several of these facts, namely, that the IDF had in fact activated the Hannibal Directive on October 7th stating โThe Commission is aware of allegations that Israeli Special Forces used the โHannibal Directiveโ to prevent the capture of Israeli civilians and their transfer to Gaza, even at the cost of killing them" The Commission documented one statement by an ISF tank crew, confirming that the crew had applied the Hannibal Directive. The Israeli military, Israeli civilians and the United Nations all admit to the IDF purposely killing their own on October 7th. How many? Itโs hard to know the exact number, but the imagery of charred bodies and incinerated cars and homes are still being used to this day to manufacture consent and support for Israelโs ongoing assault of the Gaza Strip, where more than 47,000 Palestinians have been killed including 15,000 innocent children. ISRAEL'S FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR HAMAS: Israel and Netanyahu helped funnel over $1 Billion dollars to Hamas in order to keep Palestine from being recognized as a State. It was Netanyahu and Israel who helped create Hamas thinking that they could control them and would be able to use Hamas as an excuse for their continued military operations and occupation in Gaza. ISRAEL'S SECRET NUCLEAR WEAPONS: The front lines of the war between Israel and Hamas are expanding and moving beyond Gaza. Yemenโs Houthis intensified their involvement, going from simply attacking Israeli bound cargo ships to now navigating an armed drone over 1,200 miles, evading Israelโs Iron Dome defense system and managed to strike inside Tel Aviv causing a massive explosions. In addition to their ongoing war in Gaza, Israel has attacked or been attacked by Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to promise Israel unconditional and limitless support. But has anyone even asked if this support is LEGAL? According to the 1976 Symington and Glenn Amendments of the Armed Foreign Assistance Act, which is now a part of the Arms Export Control Act, the United States cannot give foreign aid, whether thatโs economic or military, to any nuclear armed state that is not a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, or the NPT, but the United States gives billions of dollars every year to Israel and according to all international arms organizations, Israel has anywhere from 90 to 400 nuclear warheads and Israel has not signed the NPT. So how does this legally happen? The United States and Israel simply pretend Israel does not have nuclear weapons, literally, thatโs whatโs done. It is called โNuclear Ambiguity.โ This nuclear ambiguity, which allows Israel to continue to receive billions from the U.S. and also operate and maintain their nuclear arsenal with absolutely no international oversight and zero regulation, is maintained and preserved through the threat of force. Due to a previously Top Secret gag order, all U.S. government agency employees and contractors are forbidden from discussing Israelโs nuclear weapons program. Even insinuating or mentioning information thatโs already in the public domain is forbidden for all federal employees and contractors. It sounds hard to believe but letโs give an example: James Doyle used to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a nuclear security specialist. He violated this gag order. Doyle wrote an academic article arguing that Nuclear weapons do not do a good job at deterring countries from attacking one another, he wrote: โNuclear weapons did not deter Egypt and Syria from attacking Israel in 1973, Argentina from attacking British territory in 1982 or Iraq from attacking Israel during the 1991 Gulf War.โ A clear reference to Israelโs nuclear weapons. Doyleโs security clearance was promptly withdrawn, his home was raided, his computers were seized and he was fired from the Department of Energy. So apparently thatโs how it works. In 2018, The New Yorker published a stunning report in which they discuss another way Israelโs nuclear ambiguity is enforced: secret presidential letters. According to former U.S. officials and former Israeli officials, every recent US administration since Clinton in 1993 has performed the same ritual as it came into office. They all agreed to undermine U.S. law by signing secret letters, brought to them by hand by their Israeli counterparts stipulating that theyโll never acknowledge what everyone knows: that Israel indeed has nuclear weapons. The National Archives is currently refusing to release the letters, arguing that even confirming their existence would violate the secrecy pact. So thereโs a gag order that stops all federal employees and contractors from simply acknowledging Israelโs nuclear weapons and U.S. presidents sign secret letters promising not to acknowledge or pressure Israel to do anything relating to their proliferation status. That means asking questions like these are entirely off limits enforced by the threat of government violence or law fare. But all of this information leads to a series of questions: Where does Israel dispose of the toxic waste its program generates? Are Israelโs nuclear weapons ever used to coerce the U.S. into making adverse policy decisions? How about our allies? Besides apartheid South Africa, has Israel offered any of its nuclear weapons for sale to other foreign countries? To U.S. adversaries? Has Israel mounted nuclear weapons onto its German supplied Dolphin class submarines? Or their American supplied F-35 jets? No questions are allowed and what is the cost, the dollar amount, for Americans, of this โnuclear ambiguityโ policy? To be exact, almost $240 billion dollars of military and economic aid has gone from the U.S. taxpayer since the passing of the Symington and Glenn Amendments. Thatโs far more than the United States spent rebuilding Europe under the Marshall Plan. And none of that quarter of a trillion dollars should have been allowed under U.S. law. Thatโs the price of keeping Israelโs secret. A quarter trillion and yet where is the International Atomic Energy Agency and international nuclear inspectors? The same ones who monitor every other nuclear armed country in the world? DOES ISRAEL PERSECUTE CHRISTIANS? Before the war, Israelโs Christian minority were already being targeted with dispossession and violence. In Jerusalemโs Old City, narrow streets line the ancient neighborhood and Jewish Israeli civilians spitting on and attacking Christian clergy members is commonplace in Israel. Evidence of this shows a video from a few days before October 7th of Christians in the Old City of Jerusalem carrying a cross while a group of Orthodox Jewish Israelis many of them children walk by and spit at the Christians. Itโs become mainstream to believe Christians donโt belong in Israel and only Jewish people do. A few years ago, the mission, the Virgin Maryโs place of death, was attacked and vandalized by Israelis. The graffiti on the ancient walls read โDeath to heretical Christians, the enemies of Israel,โ and โMay his name and memory be obliterated,โ in reference to Jesus. According to Haaretz, at a Jewish school, the leader of an anti-assimilation group Bentzi Gopstien told students that itโs quote โmitzvahโ or a โgood deedโ to burn and destroy Christian churches. Should Americans, especially Christian Americans be allowing billions of their tax dollars to be used to ethnically cleanse, attack and bomb Holy sites and Christian civilians? What has happened since Israel has launched its war against Hamas? Israel has displaced 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza, 80% of the buildings and homes have been reduced to rubble, at least 45,000 Palestinians have been killed with 50% being women and children. In America, weโre told we should prioritize sending billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Israel over dealing with our own issues here at home because Israel needs to be able defend itself. Well, it seems like what initially appeared as a defensive war, is appearing more like an offensive war with the expansionist goal of the permanent military occupation of the Gaza Strip. Did the Israeli military, the Israeli intelligence community, and the political leadership of Israel allow this terrible attack to happen to justify wiping out the population of Gaza, a genocide justified by an attack that Israel could have stopped had they wanted to.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1941665181420904891/amplify_video_thumb/1941627551786385409/img/gp24yzSPk-cDYjh4.jpg)
![The September 2022 destruction of three of the four Nord Stream natural gas pipelines from Russia to Germany was one of the greatest acts of sabotage in modern history, more significant in many ways than US attacks on German infrastructure during World War II. Afterward, the Biden administration led many to believe that Russia blew up its own pipeline. The claim was disinformation, in that the Biden Administration officials who implied Russia had blown up its pipelines knew at the time that Ukrainians had, in fact, carried out the operation. A court in Germany last week charged a former Ukrainian army officer with taking part. โI spoke to senior people at the time [in] the National Security Council โ the link between the White House and the CIA โ and of course they knew,โ said Bojan Pancevski, author of The Nord Stream Conspiracy and the Wall Street Journalโs Chief European Political Correspondent. โ[William] Burns, who was head of the CIA at the time when the pipelines exploded, was notified about the intelligence, the early intelligence in June or May before the attack happened.โ Pancevski said that Administration officials โwouldnโt say, โLook, we have evidence it was Russia because ABC.โ They would say, โLook, isnโt it obvious?โ and โWe donโt have evidence, but isnโt it obvious?โ That sort of insinuation, innuendos.โ At the same time, he said, the officials clearly aimed to deceive reporters and the public. โThatโs how these briefings work โ theyโre giving you pointers. Theyโre, pointing you in a direction. So I think that itโs fair to say that they were pointing people in the wrong direction while knowing that the actual suspicion is totally different.โ In that way, what the Biden administration did was very similar to what 51 former Intelligence Community officials did when they spread disinformation about the Hunter Biden laptop, saying that it โhas all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.โ In both cases, the officials made claims that would allow them, in the future, to be accused simply of having been mistaken, rather than of having deliberately deceived the public. Biden himself misled the public by only fingering Russia indirectly. โIt was a deliberate act of sabotage and the Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies,โ Biden said. Pancevski further added that the Biden administration, by lifting sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump in 2019 on Nord Stream, signaled to Putin that the US would not back Ukraine if Russia invaded. โA lot of the media interpreted that as a gesture towards Germany,โ said Pancevski, โas โOh, hereโs a gesture for our great ally, Germany.โ No, the gesture was towards Putin to say, โLook, you can have your pipeline. And if you are a good boy โ cooperate โ we will pivot to Asia. We will focus our energies on China, which is the actual rival here.โ...Essentially what they said [was], โWeโre pivoting to China. Hereโs the pipeline. Letโs not generate tensions between each other. You can trade with energy and just donโt get aggressive.โโ Pancevski is hardly a Republican partisan. He is harshly critical of Trumpโs recent military action against Iran, arguing that it significantly undermined his credibility in deterring foreign threats. โThe power of deterrence he had is lost because everyone now knows that you just have to stick it out for two weeks and itโs over. America will capitulate.โ And Pancevski says it was Putinโs desire for territorial expansion, far more than feeling threatened by NATO, as University of Chicago political scientist John Mearsheimer and many MAGA Republicans believe, that led him to invade Ukraine. โYes, the push to get Ukraine and Georgia into NATO did play a negative role in the relationship between the United States and Russia and ultimately in what happened in Ukraine and Georgia,โ Pancevski says. But, he added, โthe Putin presidency is that of restorationโฆ Heโs thinking about history. Heโs thinking like Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, or Catherine the Great. He wants to expand the empire, fortify the empire.โ Today, in retrospect, it seems obvious that it was in Ukraineโs interest to blow up Nord Stream. It needed Germanyโs continued support for the war effort against Russia and understandably feared that its economic dependency on cheap Russian gas would weaken Germanyโs resolve. And Pancevskiโs book is based on multiple sources, including the Ukrainians who carried out the sabotage and German law enforcement. But ever since the sabotage, almost everyone has either blamed the United States or Russia. The disinformation around who bombed the pipeline is just the tip of the iceberg of the bad thinking surrounding the tragic war in Ukraine, which shows no sign of ending any time soon. Pancevkiโs book, which reads as a thrilling spy adventure, is important in addressing all of the major questions surrounding the sabotage, including why few people thought Ukraine did it, why the Biden administration lifted Trumpโs sanctions on Nord Stream, and why Germany allowed itself to get so dependent on Russian energy in the first place....
