It’s not clear how no one’s intelligence, except maybe Egypt’s, picked up this attack video – a public dress rehearsal conducted by Hamas before the attack. [Video below]
A propaganda video posted to social media by the group on September 12th featured fighters utilizing explosives to get through a replica of a boarding gate on the Gaza-Israeli border. It also showed them going building by building through the reconstruction of an Israeli town. While this attack is seen as a major failure on the part of Israel’s intelligence services, it doesn’t say much for America’s, either.

“There clearly were warnings and indications that should have been picked up,” said Bradley Bowman, a former US Army officer, now senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “Or maybe they were picked up, but they didn’t spark necessary preparations to prevent these horrific terrorist acts from happening.”
Israel completed a $1.1 billion project to fortify defenses along its border with Gaza in 2021. It included an electric fence, but Hamas was able to make its way through the wall in minutes using explosive charges to make holes in the barrier, followed by bulldozers that made the breaches wider. They also flew in on aerolites while shooting and by sea.
This Hamas operation/attack was planned and practiced for many months. How no intelligence spotted those exercises? They are blowing things live. pic.twitter.com/Hf3a3cXyxY

Understand that our foreign and domestic enemies not only eagerly support the frenzy of rape and murder we saw in Israel but that they want it repeated here in America. When they talk about “the consequences of colonialization” or complain that Israel has defended itself, they are normalizing mass atrocities by their purported allies against their actual enemies.
Their enemies in Israel are Jews – men, women, and children – and here, their enemies are normal Americans – again, men, women, and children. Denial simply empowers these monsters, and attempts by the goo-goos to appeal to our enemies’ morality or to point out facts and argue in good faith will end in abject failure. What matters to our enemies is that we suffer and die. Nothing less will satisfy them.
They want you dead, horribly. Your family as well. Too bad if the truth scares you. You can deny it, but you’re only fooling yourself – and probably not even yourself.
How do I know they want us dead? They tell me on social media, where the fellow travelers of the brave warriors who take on unarmed women and children cheer on the atrocities. What do you think they mean by “decolonization”? They mean you deceased. ..read more
What do you think? I say close the borders, root out violent radicals, real domestic terrorists, and arm up.
This goes to show that Israel knew an attack was coming. An Israeli poll says over 90% of them think the government knew about it. A group of youngsters were on the border having fun and making lots of noise with no protection nearby. Assistance arrived slowly.
McCaul is probably in the doghouse now for letting the cat out of the bag.
Look at RDS use the attack for personal PR. He wants to “rescue” 20,000 Floridians in Israel. They do not need rescuing. The airports are open. They have return tickets. I guess they can cash in their tickets and let Florida pay for the flight. Lots of them are, of course, have dual citizenship.
Look at these officials who never utter a concern about our border, but want a huge response to the Hamas attack, including funding, equipment, attacking Iran, and so on, By definition, those people are anti-American.
The ‘blood-lust’ of the Arabs is nothing new. It began during the time of Mohammed when he destroyed an entire Jewish city, Medina, which is now one of the holy sites in Saudi Arabia. That should tell us something. Of course it didn’t end there. When it was predominately Jews in Israel centuries ago the Bedouin Arabs came to Israel and continued with barbaric attacks against Jewish villages. There have been numerous massacres in the city of Hebron, the site of the Cave of Machpelah. One of the worst in 1929.
At some point in time the West will also feel the sting of Arab blood-lust. But it won’t be just by Arabs alone since many have taken up their cause. These followers thrive on the weakness of their enemies. Since Israel attempted to make “peace” (absence of war) they are considered weak. Iran, in particular, does have worldwide goals, a world run by Islam, and they are slowly working towards that goal. It doesn’t matter to them how long it takes. It’s their way to usher in their final Imam. The West has allowed the culture of death to metastasize and should be prepared for what may well enter their own lands.
According to reports Egypt “Intelligence” warned of “something big”. That is some intelligence gathering. That is an even lower level than “chatter”.
This goes to show the reliance on ‘technology’ was a huge mistake. No doubt Hamas learned a great deal from the war in Ukraine and the use of drones. The used numerous drones to take out unmanned firing stations constructed to prevent incursions. It wasn’t helpful with all the political upheaval that was going on during the months preceding. Even now, there are some who have continued to harp on those matters.
