By The Times of Israel. Mounting questions over Israel’s massive intelligence failure to anticipate and prepare for a surprise Hamas assault were compounded Monday when an Egyptian intelligence official said that Jerusalem had ignored repeated warnings that the Gaza-based terror group was planning “something big” — which included an apparent direct notice from Cairo’s intelligence minister to the prime minister.
The Egyptian official said Egypt, which often serves as a mediator between Israel and Hamas, had spoken repeatedly with the Israelis about “something big,” without elaborating.
He said Israeli officials were focused on the West Bank and played down the threat from Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is made up of supporters of West Bank settlers who have demanded a security crackdown there in the face of a rising tide of violence over the last 18 months.
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the content of sensitive intelligence discussions with the media, told The Associated Press.
Netanyahu denied receiving any such advance warning, saying in the course of an address to the nation Monday night that the story was “fake news.” (Read more from “Egypt Intelligence Official Says Israel Ignored Repeated Warnings of ‘Something Big’” HERE)

Here’s the Most Provocative Take You’ll Read on the War in Israel…
By Revolver. The situation in Israel is causing a great deal of concern, panic, and heartache for many people all over the world. The stories coming out of Israel of rape and mass murder of innocent civilians are beyond reprehensible. But is there more to the story than what we’re currently seeing?
. . .An X user who goes by the handle SOVEREIGN BRAH published a very provocative post on the Israel war. These thoughts are likely to be among the most contentious you’ll encounter on the subject, but they’re interesting and very popular online at the moment.
Here they are:
“I’ve kept an eye on this Israel situation for the past few days.
Here’s what I’ve learned, & here are my blunt & honest thoughts:
1. Israel chose to ignore intelligence from Egyptian officials about a major attack coming from Hamas.
2. Multiple former IDF soldiers & Israeli intelligence personnel have come forward online and said there’s a zero percent chance Israel was unaware of this attack beforehand or couldn’t have prevented it.
3. We just watched unsophisticated terrorists on hang gliders soar into one of the most heavily-defended & surveilled countries on the planet.
4. Within 48 hours of the attack, we’re now suddenly seeing enormous support for an American war with Iran and the genocide of the Palestinian people.
I’m witnessing American pastors and formerly level-headed influencers in our world completely lose their minds and call for genocide.
It’s unsurprising, but insane to watch.
If the events of the past three years have taught me anything, it’s that when people get whipped into an emotional frenzy, critical thinking completely goes out the window.
People become highly suggestible and will rush to extremely dangerous conclusions without thinking about the consequences.
I think this is what we’re all witnessing with this situation in Israel.
I’m reminded of Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
In both scenarios, the American government received intelligence in advance of the attacks, but chose not to prevent the attacks.
Why?
The American government was willing to sacrifice the lives of American citizens in order to advance its geopolitical goals.
Pearl Harbor gave the justification to enter WWII.
9/11 gave justification to invade the Middle East & drastically expand the American military industrial complex & our surveillance apparatus.
They were brutal & extremely traumatic events for the American public to witness. The emotional trauma caused people to get whipped into an emotional frenzy.
America wanted ONE THING in response to these attacks:
The blood of our enemies.
I see the same psyop playing out now.
People are whipped into a frenzied bloodlust.
In their frenzied bloodlust, people are overlooking some SERIOUSLY important facts here, notably:
1. The fact that none of this adds up,
2. innocent civilians are being threatened with genocide, and
3. Escalated violence in the Middle East and a war with Iran both risk ***the rest of the planet getting dragged into WWIII.***
What happened in Israel this weekend was obviously gut-wrenching and awful to witness, but I do not trust Israel’s so-called “intelligence failure”, nor do I trust the snakes in Washington calling for war with Iran, & I sure as hell no longer trust any of the emotionally-frenzied influencers calling for explicit genocide of innocent civilians.
This was a defining moment in history, similar to Pearl Harbor, 9/11, COVID, the beginning of the Ukraine war, etc, and a lot of people just got played.
Hard.
People responded by going full mask-off, exposing themselves as reckless & incapable of exercising sound judgment in moments of chaos and heightened emotion.
And we’re now at the brink of WWIII because of it.
This is all worth noting.
There’s a high likelihood there will be more chaos throughout the rest of this decade.
There will be more psychological operations.
There will be more moments in time in which cooler heads ought to prevail, but people will get whipped into an emotional frenzy instead.
Keep your wits about you, & be cautious in whom you allow yourself to be influenced by.
Recognize that governments & intelligence agencies spend enormous resources waging psychological operations on social media nonstop when stuff like this goes down.
Remember that when chaos is at its peak, history shows there is ALMOST ALWAYS a hidden agenda being played out, & that hidden agenda is ALWAYS designed to prey on our base emotions to facilitate a desired end-result.
Pray for world peace tonight.
Thanks.”
