A couple of snippets from longer, likely significant pieces that deserve more attention than I have felt able to give them.

Efrat Fenigson, an Israeli journalist who served with the IDF on the border with Gaza 25 years ago also challenges the narrative being constructed around this event.
In this 100 minute long conversation with Dark Horse podcast host, Bret Weinstein, Fenigson explains her issues with the story the public is being told. Big points:
It is absurd that an attack of this magnitude could have been planned and executed without IDF detection.
Hamas breached the border with Israel in fifteen different places. Surely one of the incursions would have triggered an immediate and automatic response.
Border patrols say that they attempted to report the attack up the chain of command but their calls were not answered.
Israeli fighter pilots tweeted that they had engaged Hamas fighters yet people on the ground saw no evidence of this anywhere in the skies.
For months a former Israeli general had been warning the government that defensive forces at the border were inadequate. His warnings went unheeded and he was shadow-banned by Israeli media.
If their intention was to leverage the release of Hamas prisoners, it would make far more sense to capture Israeli citizens, not kill them too. What was the real intent of such acts if not to instigate a devastating response from Israel?

(Remember Bret Weisntein? Dark Horse Podcast, featured here early in the covid-19 vaccine development discussions. This one was with Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch.)
According to Fenigson, a cat moving around the wall triggers security forces. Ergo it’s not credible that this was a big surprise.
Equally you would also wonder how Hamas would be leaping/flying over the wall in large numbers if it would normally mean their quick immolation before managing to inflict much damage. So it’s hard not to consider there has to have been a degree of cooperation between Hamas and Israel.

The Hamas Partnership is confirmed by Netanyahu
“The Cat is Out of the Bag”
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” (Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)
Does this statement not suggest that Netanyahu and his military-intelligence apparatus are responsible for the killings of innocent Israeli civilians?
“Support” and “Money” for Hamas.
“Transferring Money to Hamas” on behalf of Netanyahu is confirmed by a Times of Israel October 8, 2023 Report:
“Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from Qatar through the Gaza crossings.” (emphasis added)
Words of leaders (when they are talking to each other, and not merely lying as usual to the public) are worth scrutinizing.
“This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
Israel’s hardliners, and the US, have always been alarmed by the possibility of the two-state solution. They like it as it is, though for different reasons

. It gets ‘editorialised’ out of them when they get home. After the conflict was over Israeli intelligence bragged about controlling the western media narrative.
