Is the media really trying to blame the wrong perpetrator just like they did for 9/11? I guess people learned nothing from the US's botched response to 9/11.

It's pretty simple really. Not including the recent attack, Israel has killed 10k+ Palestinians since 2000 vs the ~500 Israelis killed in conflict. It is pretty simple to see why a group of Palestinians would do something like this. They are angry at Israelis oppressing them.

With that being said, their desire for revenge is understandable. There is still no reason to murder innocent Israelis.

Too late Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal already sold the lie there was Iranian involvement. You would think people would learn after the Iraq War.

I still don't get how Mossad didnt know about this? Aren't they one of the best agencies around? I mean they invented Pegasus! How did they not know this attack was impending? Something had to have happened.

There seems to be a theme here. Israel appears to have a plan, that will forever change the middle east. ( as Israeli officials described it ).

Describing the attacks by Hamas as the Israeli 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, is actually not far off, as both of those incidents has later appeared to be events that was known by intelligence agencies and authorities, but was allowed to happen to serve a purpose.

This could mean that Israel will make a final push to further force out Palestinians from Gaza and maybe even the West Bank, as well as attack Iran in one way or another.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

“Iran is a major player but we can’t yet say if it was involved in the planning or training,” said R Adm Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israel Defence Forces.

In a report published on 4 October, the Tasnim news agency said the representative spoke to participants about the need for “all Islamist parties to do everything in their power to liberate al-Quds [Jerusalem]”.

Hamas used Iranian technology and logistical support to produce arms locally, he said, but it is thought to be mainly reliant on smuggling weapons from its tunnels under its border with Egypt.

Some Hamas social media accounts claim the Iranian army is eager to send drones into action, but most observers think any escalation into a multipronged war is more likely to come from Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Across the Gulf, Arab leaders, united in seeking to de-escalate the violence ideally through a prisoner swap, were at odds over how to attribute responsibility for the attacks.

So far Saudi Arabia, the country on which the politics of the region will turn, has responded to the attacks by being strongly critical of Israel’s failure to negotiate a peace settlement with the Palestinians based on a two-state solution.

The original article contains 790 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Come to think of it, it doesn't really make sense for Iran to want this sort of escalation to happen. The ideal situation from its standpoint is for Palestine to be a continuous thorn in Israel's side, but not too much. That's cheap to do and disruptive to Israel. If Israel connects the killing of hundreds of civilians to Iran, that could be justification for all out war. That would be damaging for both sides, but ultimately I think Iran would come out the worse.

For a vaguely comparable situation, look to Ukraine. NATO is willing to arm and train Ukraine, but committing NATO soldiers involves incredibly high amounts of risk. That's why NATO has held back, even though its conventional armed forces would have no trouble taking on Russia.

Keyword is yet. Given enough time, Israel will find “evidence” of their involvement.

WSJ is a tabloid now I guess lol
