It feels like the Israeli govt has used this terrorist attack to become terrorists themselves.
I mean they've been like that since forever, but now they're showing their true colors (more than they were).
I don't think it is outside of the realm of possibility that in 30 years we learn that the Mossad knew about this and were ordered to let it happen. The intelligence fuckup was so enormous that it seems plausible they at least knew something was up. And the Israeli government has proven itself cynical enough to lend such a thought possible.
There was rumor that they were observed training for this and the authorities told something was up. Which they seemingly ignored. Defense forces have to be right all the time however. Attackers only need to be right once. So be careful reading a lot into it.
Yep, I'd imagine most times when there have been air strikes, incursions, raids etc. Where they've destroyed weapons or captured/killed some terrorist leader could have thwarted similar events.
