A general strike in Israel to protest the failure to return hostages held in Gaza led to closures and other disruptions around the country on Monday, but it was ignored in some areas, reflecting deep political divisions.
Israel’s largest trade union, the Histadrut, called for the general strike, the first since the start of the war. It aimed to shut down or disrupt major sectors of the economy, including banking, health care and the country’s main airport. But it ended early after a labor court ruled it must stop in mid-afternoon in response to a government petition calling the strike politically motivated.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis poured into the streets Sunday in grief and anger after six hostages were found dead in Gaza. The families and much of the public blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying they could have been returned alive in a deal with Hamas to end the nearly 11-month-old war.
Israel is one of the major intelligence hub in the world. So how did the October 7 attack happen if that was true?
Netanyahu allowed it. Look at the Wikipedia page. He knew. He sacrificed his own people and allowed it to happen.
That’s two countries saying Israel knew days before the attack.
The New York Times, who spread propaganda for Israel, said Israel knew.
The Times is a British newspaper. They said the IDF knew and information stopped somewhere in the chain of command. That’s two newspapers outside their country that knew the attack was going to happen.
BBC is one of biggest news sources in the world. That’s three news sources outside Israel that knew more than one of top intelligence sources in the world. Mossad had spies in Hamas and some how thousands of fighters crossed the border.
October 7th 2023, September 11th, 2001, and December 7th 1941 all supposedly had intelligence reports at least a couple of days prior from foreign sources. I am sensing possible geopolitical motivations here.
Here’s information from a an Israeli newspaper:
Oh, I concur. Just alluding to historical situations wherein interested parties ignored or withheld information in accordance with a broader agenda.
I see. I thought you were implying international news sources were giving out misinformation for their own agenda. That’s why I posted a national newspaper source.
Russia repeatedly ignored intelligence suggesting the Kursk obslast invasion. So there is an even more recent example than the October Hamas terror attacks
Yup, you have to be childishly naive to believe the Israelis were surprised. It just perfectly played into their hand.

It’s just israelis cockiness, they didn’t take the threat seriously rather than just allowing it to happen
Either way they knew and Netanyahu’s incompetence got his own people killed. He should not have a job.
The October 7 attack was horrible but it’s pretty convenient for Netanyahu to be incompetent at that time. Polls showed most people were against the 2023 Israeli Judicial Reform. One of the most out spoken groups were the millennials and Gen-Zers, the ones most likely to attend the Nova Music Festival.

“Bin Laden determined to attack United States.”
Considering al-Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center twice while bin Laden was general, that statement is correct.
Correct, and Bush ignored the warning.
Are you suggesting Hamas was in favour of the judicial reform?
No, Hamas views on it has nothing to do with what I said.
A war would keep Netanyahu in power longer. War has been used throughout history for people to grab more power and to keep power longer.
An attack at the Nova music festival would get rid of some Israeli civilian opposition to the 2023 Israeli Judicial Reform.
Do you think he coördinated with either Hamas or the organizers to make sure festival would be hit?
I think he has enough undercover Mossad agents in Hamas to influence them which target to attack.
Either way they are lying about it
