What’s not to buy? It’s just typical colonizer arrogance, the same exact arrogance that led the French to getting massively owned at Dien Bien Phu. Plenty of people knew that Hamas was planning something, but Netanyahu wanted to focus on the West Bank because his voting base are settlers trying to push Palestinians out of the West Bank. There were militant operations at the West Bank throughout 2022 conducted by PIJ and the Lion’s Den, so it’s not completely fair to say Netanyahu was just sitting on his ass between 2021 and 2023.
