Hamas planned for the highly coordinated assault for more than a year, building its battle plans from open source materials and repeatedly
drilling its troops, Israeli investigators
said in November. Israeli intelligence failed to detect those preparations and didn’t heed warning signs that emerged in the hours before the attack, early reviews found.
My sources show that a Hamas person during a Russian newscast boasted how Hamas had softened Israeli suspicion by acting more civil in negotiations, for a while before the attack, so Israel would be less suspicious; plus they did a lot of fake mobilizations so Israeli intel would become fatigued with all the false alarms.
Also, I think of this > they might have done fake preparations without showing drone and hanglider activity so intel would be lulled into assuming any real attack would be only with foot soldiers and ground vehicles. May be they did not show any bulldozers, too, until they actually used at least one to break the fence barrier.
And, on TV, one woman was presented as being a soldier who did see indication of the coming attack. She is claimed to have notified higher people, but they did not take her seriously because she was so low in rank . . . according to the translation on TV. But I have not, since that one report, been told any more on that.
But it matches with how humans can do things.
Another item is what Condoleeza Rice testified during the televised 9/11 hearing. She testified that Al Qaeda was on U.S. soil for ten years preparing for the 9/11 attack. And American intel had enough info to stop the attack, but their infighting between agencies kept them from sharing pieces of the puzzle so they could have gotten the picture of what was going on.
So, in case that is correct, it matches with how human nature can have us doing things.
People of the world have the ability to be fooled, and to fool their own selves.
Why didn't the media spotlight how intel had become a dysfunctional family? Good investigative reporting could have exposed that in time for intel to get it together and stop Al Qaeda. But where was attention and time and resources going, not long before 9/11? Wasn't then when there was the Bill Clinton thing? Republicans and Democrats and the media were so busy with that. They were not dealing with how intel had become a national security threat, even though I would think both Republicans and Democrats would have been in any committee responsible for knowing what was going on in intel.
Both parties, then, possibly were partying their attention elsewhere!!
And why did the media not investigate all that and keep attention on it?
May be advertisers were not interested in news going on and on about intel soap. The general public might not want to watch all that; and so human nature of the general public could have indirectly helped to keep attention away from national security, since they'd rather keep an eye on Bill's stuff.
Which soap would you watch?
So, my point is humans do even arrange ways to help evil people to hurt them. Individuals do this; plus even whole countries can put their heads in the sand. So, it can be there is no need for a conspiracy, except to keep our attention away from where our attention belongs.
