Yes October 7 Was an Inside Job, But We Need to Explain the TRUE Reason Israel Did It or Else We Do the Palestinians NO GOOD
Read here how a video gives the wrong reasons
This documentary is a video online here.
This video makes some good points and presents some useful facts. But it fails to make the KEY point, which is that the REASON Israel did what the video shows it did was to maximize the fear that ordinary Israelis have of Palestinians and to make them (Israelis) believe that the Israeli ruling class is protecting them from their real enemy--Palestinians. This bogeyman strategy--implemented by more than seven decades of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians--is how the Israeli billionaire rulers get away with economically severely oppressing and getting rich off of the Israeli working class, as I prove in my article about this here .
The video offers two incorrect explanations for WHY the Israeli government wanted the October 7 attack to happen and WHY it has been funding Hamas.
Incorrect reason #1. To grab the land of Gaza. (At best this is a secondary reason.)
Incorrect reason #2 (expressed by Jeffrey Sachs who is a wolf in sheep's clothing as I explain here) is that Israel was trying to weaken the Palestinians. This is the standard excuse given in the Israeli press. The idea is that since Hamas and the Palestine Authority (PLO) were enemies, strengthening Hamas would divide the Palestinians and weaken them. The Israeli press promotes this explanation because it covers up the true explanation, which is that Israel's government funded Hamas and worked to keep it in power BECAUSE it was a terrorist organization that deliberately killed Israeli non-combatant civilians and BECAUSE (unlike the PLO) it aimed to make Islam sovereign in all of Palestine including the part called Israel, in other words because it maximized how frightening the Palestinian bogeyman enemy would be, which is what Israeli rulers need in order to control and dominate the Israeli Jewish working class. Read about this here.
The reasons (land grab, weaken the Palestinians) that this video gives for Israel wanting the October 7 attack to happen are, in contrast to the REAL reason I explain above, reasons that do not cause people who want to be "on the side of the Jews" to stop supporting Israel. The Zionists say that what they do is for the purpose of making Jews safe; that they need more land for that purpose (e.g., to keep rocket-firing antisemites far away from Israel's Jews) and that they need to make the Palestinians weaker. That is why this video does not help the Palestinians very much.
What the Palestinians need is for us to explain to people (especially in the United States) who want to be on the side of ordinary Jews, that the way to do that is to OPPOSE Zionism because Zionism's attack on Palestinians is for the purpose of enabling the Israeli billionaires to horribly oppress ordinary Israeli Jews. When we explain this to the American public, then—AND ONLY THEN!—will the VAST majority of Americans (including the presently pro-Israel Jews and the millions of non-Jews who look to Jews for what to think about Israel) say that the U.S. government must stop supporting Israel (the way the vast majority of Americans said the U.S. government must stop supporting apartheid in South Africa once they learned the truth about that injustice.) This is the ONLY way to make the U.S. government stop supporting Israel, and until we do it Israel/Zionism will prevail.
Waving the Palestinian flag while refusing to explain the REASON—the anti-working-class (including anti-Israeli-Jewish-working-class) reason—why Israel oppresses Palestinians doesn’t help the Palestinians. Read more about this here.
well the damage to gaza and the palestinians is considerable; I would take physical losses in consideration
surely the psyop against their own would fit, as you've mentionned
another hypothesis going 'round is that israel is psychopathological and acts out of such "state of consciousness" - so the continuation of their past "policy", but this time having even more radical fellas in their political sphere
tx for pointing out that it was an inside job; this is blatant. People's brains don't go in such direction and this would deserve a whole article in itself.
I believe that as long people, journalists, won't reach that consideration, the WHOLE "mess" will just keep on rottening, there will be little improvements. This is because "lady Truth" ain't around, so the fruits of such state of affairs will be weak. No true good article, just articles taking note of added atrocities. Some stand-by stuff. It's a bit wrong because we have a big heart for Palestine, and we should study more that road of an inside job, something nobody does.
