 Thanks for answering my ignorant questions, I’m always curious about situations that feel like a coincidence. 

Yeah I was blown away they were so surprised about the attack. Wasn’t Netanyahu on trial for corruption? Is that still going to happen? 
 Haha! We are all ignorant asking ignorant questions. We just make the best guesses we can given what we think we know, and we talk amongst ourselves to learn more.... to "think in groups" as Jordan Peterson put it I believe.

Yeah Israel was almost at a civil war I heard. They had real trouble electing a government. Netanyahu was under investigation for corruption and apparently he corrupted the judges too, to try to wiggle out of the corruption charges. I heard the only way he could stay in power is under emergency powers, but that required an emergency, and hence there is speculation that he created the emergency so he could stay in power.

But I do not think he intended for 1000 Israelis to be killed. A smaller emergency would have sufficed. 
 But sometimes I think maybe he needed a real big emergency to have enough of an excuse to bomb the F out of Gaza without getting too off-sides with the U.S.

 I think a #mainvolume issued license is required to think. I think I am European, Swedish in fact. I think I am created by Sina for #mainvolume
