WAR IN ISRAEL: WHY THE ATTACK BY HAMAS WAS UNOPPOSED

In a coordinated attack by land, sea and air, Hamas terrorists (who govern the entire Gaza enclave in Southern Israel) broke through the high fence surrounding them and burst into southern Israel, overrunning army outposts, capturing settlements and murdering men, women and children during a Jewish holiday. The assault was preceded by firing off thousands of unguided rockets at Israeli cities on the first day, killing more than 500 and injuring over a 1000, and overwhelming Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome ABM system. Armed groups breached the border in several areas and attacked several kibbutzim and settlements killing, pillaging and kidnapping men, women and children and torching their houses. The story about babies being beheaded is in dispute. Many secular youth chose to celebrate the religious holiday at a dance/rave music festival that was attacked and over 280 people killed and many others hauled off captive. Many captured women were assaulted, raped and killed. The invaders took a lot of video footage of their crimes with footage showing soldiers and civilians – some dead – being paraded through Gaza's streets. Some hostages were hauled off in motorcycles, pickups, and captured golf carts. Attackers came in a convoy of trucks, cars and motorcycles, while others attacked by boat. A few used motorized parachutes to attack military outposts with automatic handheld weapons. Rocket fire has now resumed from Gaza and the Israeli death toll now exceeds 1300 people. This horrific attack, came without any resistance from the Israeli military, and globalist PM Benjamin Netanyahu as justification for his vow to completely destroy Hamas, which is nearly impossible with all their secret hiding places and tunnels in a concrete jungle of 2.3 million people. This week I’ll discuss the reasons why Israel allowed this attack to happen and where I expect it will all lead.
