I know SN for many years. I made a new account for additional privacy.
There are many Israelis who think it was an inside job. Mostly right blaming the left. There is some truth because the left actively told reservists to stop showing up for duty when Bibi started his judicial reform. The country was very divided but I don't think it was planned. It's easier to blame someone else than to admit that we fucked up big time. We stopped taking Hamas seriously and it bit us on the ass. Occam's razor applies - complacency is a simpler explanation than a conspiracy where at least hundreds of senior people have to be in on it.
It is also not true that seven hours elapsed. There was immediate response but it was a holiday and limited forces were available. Maybe seven hours for a big response but that's very fast - mobilizing soldiers for combat is not easy. Combat helicopters were on the way within half an hour or so but there were only a few on high readiness. Also don't forget that Hamas blew up all of the border cameras with drones and attacked from many directions at the same time - the biggest problem wasn't soldiers but command and control. There was chaos.
Hmm. New account, this is your first post. How did you find out about Stacker.news?
Charlie Kirk had visited Israel many times before he was assassinated.
Just after the Oct. 7th attack on Israel, he expressed serious doubt about the whole thing, thought it might be a setup, a false flag.
He just couldn't wrap his mind around what he'd seen at the border ("you can't go 10 ft without running into a 20 year old soldier with a submachine gun") and the fact that something like 7 hours elapsed, before a response by the Israeli army happened.
What do you think about that?
FYI - there were video clips of this conversation all over the internet, just after Charlie Kirks assassination. Now it looks like many of them have been taken down. But I'll try to find one that's available. Meanwhile, here's a transcript from a Newsweek article
