This from 11th October 2023:

The former British spy chief also warned that Hamas was “essentially laying a trap for Israel and would be well pleased if Israel commits itself to a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza” – because of the intensity of fighting and the inevitable loss of civilian life that would follow. “You cannot kill all the terrorists without creating more terrorists,” he said.

I remember saying back then that Egypt had informed Mossad of an imminent major attack 5 days prior the the 7th.
One can now see reasoning behind the denial of any such advance information.

"What's left of Gaza to invade ? And don't take your eyes off the West Bank...

Ps: Believe it or not! that, "The Greater Israel ( sic ) extends right up the East Bank of The Nile.

God said that...Who are we to deny what God said ?

"Not I" said the Eskimo. lol..

Ps: Funny Sunday here on the WB, no sun, clouds..

From a Friend:
Today Israel murdered 4 journalists in Gaza.
One of them - Anas Al-Sharif - posted this message just before they killed him.PBHU.

"Hamas was “essentially laying a trap for Israel and would be well pleased if Israel commits itself to a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza” – because of the intensity of fighting and the inevitable loss of civilian life that would follow"

So, what is he complaining about? Am I missing something that is plain for others to see? Surely this is what happens in all of the conflicts in the ME? It certainly seems that, in recent times, so-called fighters have hidden behind women and children fully expecting the 'world' to cry foul when the inevitable happens.

It is amazing the total silence ever since October 7th as to why Hamas took the action it did. The Jews were persecuted by Germany for many years culminating in the Holocaust in the second world war. And yet Israel has been persecuting the Arabs or Muslim's for over 50 years. It has done so by building settlements all of which are illegal. If you really want to get an idea as to how the Palestinians have been living for the last 50 years go on BBC Iplayer. Choose channel 2. then pick category L Scroll down to Louis Theroux. The first one has no title but click on that and the title comes up. The Settlers. The BBC were lucky to be able to get that show aired because some one has blocked the BBC from showing a documentary because it is narrated by son of a Hamas member. Louis asks some good questions to the lady who oversees all these settlements and she is positively evil and there is a warrant out for her arrest.

Louis ?
Made me dig out an old photo of a young Louis at my place with Adam & Joe in the background...
