    They already had the reveal that gov bodies knew about all the details of the attack in advance,

    I don't buy this when they say it. If you're referring to that New York Times article where Israeli intelligence basically claimed to have the Oct. 7 Hamas attack handbook, then yeah it's all BS in my opinion. Mouin Rabbani, when talking to Rania Khalek, said it best:

    now of course um in addition to operation sword of iron which is um the operational name of the Israeli Onslaught on the Gaza Strip there's an equally important operation being conducted which is known as operation cover your ass in which every Israeli official and their brother claims to have known exactly what was going to happen warned everyone about it but it was someone else's fault that they didn't do anything um I don't take these issues uh seriously I mean you even had a long article in the New York Times um that the Israelis actually had a copy of Hamas's Master planning document for the um uh October 7th attack but maybe they thought it was a short story I don't know um you know first of all I very much doubt whether such a document even exists um it was probably written by someone in the Israeli intelligence agents to give to the New York Times to show that you know it wasn't us you need to talk to it was a fault of the politicians or it was a fault of the army um and then you had a um a day or two later an article in the Jerusalem Post which even though operating under rules of Israeli military censorship I thought was much more accurate that they had no information which is why they were um unable to prepare

    I like Rania's reply too:

    yeah it's uh you know you could just imagine if you're uh involved in some sort of militant activity and you're preparing a very secret operation that nobody knows about but you definitely wrote it all down and somehow you know it ended up in the hands of the Israelis I mean it's it's kind of absurd on its face
