it's almost like the victims of the attack orchestrated the whole thing from behind the scenes so they had a reason for massive retaliation.... and then they could wipe that geographic area clean and expand their own territory

This is a conspiracy theory. Even if you are pro-palestine, do not fall for it.

As far as I am aware it is confirmed that the far-right Israeli parties provided funding to Hamas in order to excuse their own crimes. They probably didn't plan that particular attack, but they've been working on the genocide (and the excuses for it) for a long time.

I've seen reports that Israel knew about them beforehand as they were warned by Egypt (as though the surveillance network of Israel didn't already know about it), and they just... didn't do anything? So idk about conspiracy theory but them helping it to go off seems more like a plausible take based on the evidence.

It's wild the shit that they have done, and people still think they are the victims in any capacity.

Israel got warned by Egypt three days in advance so it impossible to suggest they did not know.

Whether they knew the resistance was counterattacking does not make the resistance self-defense any less justified nor Israeli crimes any better.

it's not unheard of if you consider that Pearl Harbor was used to bring the USA into WWII and it's been only recently understood the US government knew it was going to happen but needed the loss to act.

I can't believe Roosevelt and the Joint Chiefs of Staff just said, "Fuck it. Let 'em sink the entire 7th fleet, almost our entire Pacific Force."

If there had been such a conspiracy, I'm guessing they would have accidentally "ambushed" Yamamoto after letting him raise a little hell.

they knew that Japan was reaching too far and would lose more in attacking then they would gain. The distance to the nearest Japanese port was extreme. The US would be able to counter attack before they could resupply
