Frissons all around! The New York Times has been known to ignore important facts and/or just make things up in order to present a narrative that fits how they wish things were. Judge for yourself how much of what the Old Grey Lady reports this time is actually true, dear Reader.
[IsraelTimes] A bombshell report in The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
alleges that Israel obtained Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...’s plans for its assault on October 7 over a year before the devastating attack, but despite the document being seen by several bigwigs, it was not acted upon.
Did the document say they would spend a year feinting various parts of the plan to accustom the IDF to the idea that there would be no follow through? Grom has told us the name for the psychological term for this, but I’ve already forgotten. Then there’s the fact that they were trained for two years in the Syrian desert, if I recall correctly, by specialists from the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps, which nobody including the Americans seems to have remarked on, though whether they didn’t notice or did not take it seriously goes unmentioned.
According to the report, the 40-page plan, dubbed "Jericho Wall," laid out almost exactly how Hamas...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
eventually wound up carrying out the attack.
The Times writes: "The document called for a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and button men to pour into Israel en masse in paragliders, on cycle of violences and on foot — all of which happened on Oct. 7."
The document also showed that Hamas had access to sensitive Israeli military information, but officials determined that the terror group was incapable of carrying out an assault of such a large scope, or possibly unwilling, and dismissed concerns about it.
The Times claims that in one instance, a soldier noticed that a Hamas training exercise appeared to dovetail with plans detailed in the report, but a commander said that the drill was part of a "totally imaginative" scenario and did not point to actual battle plans.
