Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that the long planned Gaza genocide was no "surprise" nor is Netanyahu's systematic extermination of Gaza's native residents in any way a "war".
What is also obvious is that Israel's army of paid, trained and scripted genocidal Zionist shills have received far more training in lying, evasion, gossip and slander than IDF receives in honest, combat training against adult combatants.
The same Netanyahu government in power on 7 October, 2023 is the same government that has been stealing Palestinian land, incrementally via militant "Settlements" saw an opportunity to destroy and then steal all of Gaza while systematically exterminating its native residents.
Just weeks before the long expected 7 October attack, (1) Netanyahu revealed his "Greater Israel" ambitions to the U.N.(2) and even withdrew troops when IDF guards at the Wall urgently alerted authorities of the pending attack.
Israel's propaganda mill was also ready for the "surprise" attack with their fictitious stories of "headless babies" and fables of mass rape.
The reality of the mass killing was tragic enough without the gruesome embellishments but the decision by the Netanyahu government to let the "surprise" attack occur is not the first time that right wing, Zionist extremists have sacrificed the lives of other Jews for the delusion of a "Greater Israel".(3)

(1) "New York Times report says Israel knew about Hamas attack over a year in advance"
The New York Times is reporting Israel knew about Hamas attack plans over a year before the Oct. 7 operation, but dismissed them as “aspirational."

EXCERPT "The attack was
planned in plain sight. A month before the assault, Hamas posted a video to social media showing fighters using explosives to blast through a replica of the border gate, sweep in on pickup trucks and then move building by building through a full-scale reconstruction of an Israeli town, firing automatic weapons at human-silhouetted paper targets.
In the video, the militants destroyed mock-ups of the wall’s concrete towers and a communications antenna, just as they would do for real on Oct. 7.
Adding to public outrage over the military’s apparent negligence, the Israeli media has reported that military officials dismissed warnings from female border spotters who warned that they were witnessing Hamas’ preparations for the attack. According to the media reports, the young women reported seeing Hamas drones and attempts to knock out Israeli border cameras in the months leading up to the attack." CONTINUED
