Palestinian Journalist: Latest Violence Shatters Notion That Israeli Apartheid Is Sustainable

[Uncle Joe]

Palestinian journalist and senior editor at +972 Magazine Amjad Iraqi believes Hamas breaking through the military border between Gaza and Israel has shattered the belief that the occupation is sustainable. Without being able to ignore Palestinians, Iraqi says, long-term reflection on Israel's apartheid system is possible, but in the short term, the international community is indulging Israel's desire for revenge. "Now for the far-right government, this massacre, as atrocious as it is, is for them a historic opportunity," says Iraqi, who describes the desire of Israeli leadership to force out Palestinians or completely destroy Gaza in response to Saturday's attack by Hamas. "There is no military solution to this issue, and the real problem in the end is this wider apartheid regime."

1. It is good to hear from a Palestinian journalist. Thanks to Democracy Now.

I have also been hearing the Palestinian side on NPR. I have not watched MSM or MSNBC, but I am guessing they have not done reporting from Palestine.

I did read an interesting piece online, that Egypt warned Israel the attack was coming 3 days prior.
I wonder if that was true.

2. Israel had at least a 3-day warning

The US has confirmed that Egypt warned Tel Aviv of a possible impending attack, according to the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — who says he is “not quite sure” how Israel and the US “missed it.”

“We know that Egypt had warned the Israelis three days prior that an event like this could happen,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Wednesday following a closed-door intelligence briefing, according to the Wall Street Journal.

So, does this mean that Netanyahu intentionally did nothing? Did he want this to happen so he was justified to completely wipe out Palestine? Sure makes me wonder.
