October 9, 2023 [Note: MUST MUST MUST WATCH!!! One highlight is Omar making a point that Israelis are not going to want to fight close battles, saying the reason why it is losing its will to fight in combat and that Israel is no longer capable of fighting wars like it did in the past. It is failing in the ground war. There is a kind of an Israeli social ideology, one where Israel is not tolerant of any casualties, does not recognize the military and intelligence professionalization of the Palestinians, relies too much on technology and its defensive structures (like the Wall), and thinks the Israelis can take Palestinian land, live in Israel with zero risk, and can rely on Israeli technology to protect them. But it won’t.]

SCOTT RITTER: Israel’s Massive Intelligence Failure

Possibilities and Plausibilities in Palestine [Length: 20:47]
Shahid Bolsen, Middle Nation
October 9, 2023
[Note: MUST MUST WATCH!! Bolsen discusses various theories of what led to the Gaza incursion, including suggestions by people that Israel conspired to allow Hamas to attack so that Israel could provoke danger in Israel to promote the idealistic reality for Israel's existence or since peace makes Israel weak, provide a reason to decimate Gaza (but Israel never needs a reason to do that) or distract and divert attention from Israel's internal, domestic issues unrest. Bolsen also talks about Israel's total surveillance and tropes (which apparently are untrue) about Israel needing to be in a constant state of fear and be hyper capable and effective.]

Item#15
By Kathryn Shihadah, Israel-Palestine News (reposted from Patheos: Grace Colored Glasses, October 8, 2023)October 9, 2023
[Note: MUST READ! and excellent as a primer for those who are unknowledgeable.]
Excerpt:
"Context is king. To begin with, this was not a random attack. This attack was a response to decades of injustice meted out by Israel – paid for in part by aid from United States to the tune of $13 million a day.
"Read that again: $13 million a day. That’s $13 million in military aid every single day of the week. That’s for a country that already has one of the strongest militaries in the world (paid for in great part by the US). And that’s for a country that violates international law on a daily basis (read a few of many human rights reports here). That’s for a country that practices apartheid against the Palestinians it rules over.
"Israel is realizing right now that it can’t oppress its neighbors forever without expecting retaliation. Palestinians have tried many methods of reasoning with Israel, only to be turned down; many nonviolent forms of protest, only to be gunned down. In the olden days, there were suicide bombers – the desperate act of the hopeless (and of those without the usual weapons to deliver bombs). Hamas hasn’t been involved in such an attack since 2008.
"Palestinians in Gaza have been locked in an open-air prison for sixteen years – under a brutal blockade that blocks the entrance of critical medicine and medical supplies, food, and other staples, causing rampant malnutrition in children; the Al-Aqsa mosque (one of the holiest sites in Islam) has been desecrated again and again in recent months; illegal Israeli settlers (with assistance from the Israeli military) have been attacking Palestinians and taking over their land; Palestinians in the West Bank have endured fifty-six years of occupation and indignity; Israel is illegally holding over five thousand Palestinians as political prisoners, under inhumane conditions.
"The list goes on. And there is no end in sight.
"That is why Hamas initiated these hostilities – because, how long should humans live, starving, in a cage, before they fight back? What else did Israel expect would happen?”
