In the early morning hours of Saturday, 7 October 2023, Hamas launched —like never before— a surprise military attack on Israel, called Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. Hamas is the Islamist political and military branch that rules Palestine.

Israel immediately retaliated, as they usually do. Though, in most cases, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are the initiators of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities. Indeed, it is usually the IDF launching intimidating provocations, waiting for the Palestinian response and then the IDF attacks Palestine, mostly the Gaza strip, “full power” – no regard for whom they are killing, children, women, no matter, no remorse. Ever.

This time seems to be different.  According to mainstream media and most non-mainstream media, this was the first time, Hamas surprised the Israeli army and security forces, the Israeli Mossad, so to speak, with a massive attack out of nowhere, with tanks and missiles, deep into Israel, causing severe damage – and as of the time of this writing – Hamas aggressions have caused hundreds of deaths – maybe thousands? — on each side and thousands of inured.

Really, a surprise?

Normally, after a devastating Israeli counterattack – or often the primary assault – the fight is over. For a while.

Will this time the Lebanon-based Hezbollah also get involved in the conflict in favor of Palestine? Washington has already sent out their warnings to third parties, singling out Hezbollah.

Reporters from most media are astonished at these developments. Nevertheless, most of them report without questioning.

“Israel is ‘at war’ as Hamas launches a major surprise attack, with hundreds of rockets from the Gaza strip hitting deep into Israel. Dozens of armed Palestine fighters crossed the heavily protected border into Israel. In the meantime, thousands of bombs are raining down of Gaza – a land strip of a mere 45 square km, a massively overpopulated open-air prison, the largest in the world, with 2 million inhabitants.”

“A coordinated and unexpected attack, a breach in Israel’s national security. An astonishing new image that turns this decade-old image around”, so says Channel 4 News. See video below.

Syriana Analysis comes to similar conclusions – a “surprise attack” on Israel, like never before.

Here the analyst adds his strong suspicion that Hamas was and is being helped by Iran. But do we really know? He leaves many questions open, but also refers to a landmark, unexpected assault on Israel by Hamas the first in decades. See video below.

Aljazeera reasons likewise. Hamas caught Israel and her all-so powerful IDF off-guard. How come? See video below.

In the meantime, on the same day of Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, declared war on Palestine – apparently totally ignoring that the war has already been going on for the last 70 years, ever and gradually increasing on severity and intensity.

Netanyahu also gave “green light” to IDF to shoot Palestinians point blank – as if this was different from what the IDF has been doing before.

Also, remarkably, Netanyahu said that this was going to be a long war. Again, ignoring that Israel has been at war with Palestine almost from day one of Israel’s creation. The only difference maybe that now the war was officially declared. Before, it was a war of attrition – slow destruction of Palestine’s resistance and moral.

A war of oppression and murder – a war against 2 million people held in the world’s largest open-air prison, called Gaza, from where nobody could escape.

The world was silent, watched, no protests directed at Israel. On the contrary, the Occident, the so-called West, was and still is taking strong side for Israel – which is now actively “working” towards a “Greater Israel,” establishing boundaries with largesse for the “Chosen People”.

Will We, the People of the world, let them be the Chosen People?

Now, as Israel is made to believe being seriously attacked, the hypocrites of this globe, mostly Western nations, call for mediation. The same losers who also called for mediation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Egypt and the European Union have “offered” their good offices as “peace makers.”

Ridiculous. Why didn’t they come forward in the past 70 years?

The UN Security Council (UNSC) has also condemned Hamas, though, apparently not all UNSC members have voted in favor of Israel.

Maybe because they have zero interest in peace. Maybe their interest is in seeing the world being aflame with conflicts of all sorts, killing between warrying countries and parties, arguing about, and keeping up weather geoengineering as “climate change” – launching new plandemics to justify new coerced vax campaigns, lockdowns, 15-minute cities, and much more, while the world and humanity is being laid open for full digitization and universal QR code control.

A bloody agenda within the UN Agenda 2030 cum Great Reset – and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab’s – CEO of WEF – dream for the future of humanity. Enslavement by digitization.

Looks like this Israeli-Palestine battle is the final straw of a fight towards a new eternal war – à la Afghanistan, Ukraine, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Iraq – and you name them. One more, along with other raging wars around the world. One bloody combat more disturbing the world’s equilibrium, creating more confusion, instability, poverty, misery, death – and fear. FEAR, the weapon of choice.

And all is effectively contributing towards the cabal’s ultimate goals – massive reduction of world population, and a gigantic transfer of assets and resources from the bottom and the center to the top and control over the world’s natural resources.

Now, anybody who believes that this Hamas Al-Aqsa assault on Israel was a surprise, totally unexpected for Israel, may be a fool, or has not yet understood how the dots connect and who pulls the strings.

Imagine, Israel, with a national security apparatus as powerful or even more commanding than the CIA, and all the UK and US security forces together, has – oh wonder – not had any previous knowledge of this Hamas attack? Hard to believe, isn’t it?

So, would such prior knowledge – and the current escalation of the conflict – point to a planned war? Another endless war – sacrificing eventually thousands and thousands of lives on both sides the sake of the “Agenda”?

What else is new? Just that this conflict has an agenda of its own, creating Greater Israel – a huge enclave in the northern Middle East for the Chosen People.
