Israel Gaza

Sounds like a festering crock to me. If it was credible intel it wouldn't be shared at that level at all. It would be shared between the security services, and not just those within Israel either. There is also no record of any meeting having taken place at all. At the time, I recall that they were expecting a brokered deal with the Saudis and were actively trying not to inflame tensions even though there are always calls for attacks on varying Hamas targets in Gaza. We should however never let the facts get in the way of a good story, attempting to suggest Netanyahu ignored the threat because the massacre of civilians in Israel and the taking of hostages was a great precursor to a spot of 'genocide' in Gaza to boost his failing ratings.

I've no clue if those allegations are true or not but it wasn't simply a case that ratings needed to be boosted. Netanyahu was (and continues to be) on trial for corruption and is facing jail time if found guilty.

I woke up to see that loads of their politicians are now putting out pictures of when England played Germany (the famous Nazi salute game) and pretending it was the Irish.

Not that it really matters in 2026 - however, The Irish did perform the Nazi salute in Dublin 1936 and also Bremen 1939

Indeed they did, but using the wrong photos to try and weaponise your point, when you are governmental, its rather thick

It is widely reported the security establishment had received vague warnings. The first ones said it was imminent and in September. So when that period passed without issue, they went in the file with all the other vague warnings. Obviously this is all just point scoring ahead of the elections. No surprise, that after all this time they all appear at once. Also, various journos re-writing the same story with slight variations, none with any real hard facts and all seemingly blaming the PM, because actually, several notable resignations happened over 7th October. Top people from Aman, Shin Bet, 8200 and the IDF all accepted responsibility for a raft of failings. Hopefully if he is guilty of the charges, the book will be thrown at him.

He should be tried in The Hague, too.

It’s funny—there’s talk of Nazi salutes and so on... yet they could thank the Nazis of 1933, who facilitated the departure of German Jews to Palestine through the Haavara Agreement...
No one talks about that.

You're not serious?

Approximately 53,000 to 60,000 German and Austrian Jews emigrated to Mandatory Palestine under the terms of the agreement - we know the numbers for the Holocaust.
