———
The Palestinian militant group Hamas built a mock Israeli town in Gaza and practiced attacking in plain sight — but Israel didn’t react, Reuters reported on Sunday.
Hamas militants launched a surprise offensive on Israel on Saturday, in what has been described as the worst breach in Israel’s defenses in decades.
The attack followed a careful campaign of deception by Hamas that ensured Israel was caught off guard over the weekend, an unnamed source, with connections to the group, told Reuters.
Despite convincing Israel that they had no interest in war, Hamas militants were practicing for the offensive in plain sight by setting up a mock Israeli settlement in Gaza to train its fighters.
No, there are plenty of appropriate times.
You want to know when an inappropriate time is?
When information is still incredibly sparse and misinformation is running rampant because social media is compromised.
Or when bodies aren’t even buried and people are starting “crisis actor” level narratives.
As for why “I am just asking questions” is not a valid excuse for propagating conspiracy theories and baseless misinformation: Hey, I hear that Ricosuave user might be a pedophile. I don’t have any concrete evidence, but don’t you think they might be the kind of person to diddle kids? I mean, I am not asserting anything, just asking.
Can you see why JAQing off is bad?
The difference is that you have absolutely zero evidence (circumstantial or otherwise) that would lead you to raise this question about me in good faith or engage in such loaded speculation.
The same cannot be said for government level inaction or malice that leads to the deaths of its own citizens in order to justify its own ends. We have MOUNTAINS of direct evidence that this can and does happen.
Just because SOME people make illogical leaps into conspiracy theory naval gazing does not mean that we just shouldn’t question the transactional nature of any government narratives when bad things happen.
Stupid people are going to have stupid ideas regardless, and that should not stop the rest of us from maintaining our skepticism and using common sense when evaluating the progression of history as it is unfolding before us.
Stupid ideas like jumping from “intelligence was not acted on” to “this is a false flag action to kill israeli civilians to expedite the mass murder of Palestinians”?
YOU ARE THE ONE CONFLATING THESE THINGS.
JESUS H FUCKING CHRIST, Nobody ever said it was a “false flag” you absolute fucking goon. All these conspiracy buzzwords were entered into the conversation or equation BY YOU. You are attempting to place the “tinfoil hat” on everyone’s head, and then screaming SEE I GOT YA.
No, no you didn’t. You are just arguing in bad faith because for whatever reason that is your modus operandi.
