Days after the October 7 attack, an attentive observer would doubt that the Israeli intelligence service did not know about it coming. The New York Times put its fingers on it, and now we know Hamas called it the Jericho Wall operation, and Israelis had ongoing information about it for at least one year. The NYT is buying an official Israeli’s explanation that people who should act on that intelligence screwed it up. Jews are about 0.2% of the worldwide population, but they have collected 22% of all Nobel Prizes. Should we buy it that today’s government of Israel consists only of its dumbest citizens? If they screwed up as The NYT claims, should not they be fired en masse? Instead of being punished, they are now in charge of punishing Palestinians for their own faults. Something is not right here.
You come upon some truths and insights here about Ukraine, where one can see you have studied the history. On the Middle East and Islam you are not well read and it is obvious you lack the depth and historical perspective.
By the way, citing the opinions of the New York Times puts you at an immediate credibility gap.
You did not point out my errors in understanding the Middle East and Islam.
Referring to the credibility of the NYT. It is not who says but what. That particular report was well documented and supported by other sources.
