On October 7th the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise invasion from the Gaza Strip into Israel. Carrying out a full assault on land, air and sea with the addition of multiple missile barrages the Islamic group has seemingly caught the Jewish state completely off guard in what has been the deadliest attack on Israel since the Yom Kippur war. With hundreds of dead Israelis and a successful breach of the Iron Dome Hamas has left the global community stunned at the boldness of this attack.
Why did Hamas invade? How did Israel not see this coming? How will the rest of the world respond? This article will tackle all of these questions and more.
Why Did Hamas Invade? / Israel-Palestine Background
In order to understand modern tensions in the Middle East there’s essentially one concept you must acknowledge. There is a Jewish state in the Middle East that is surrounded by Arab coalitions that it is constantly at odds with. There is only a handful of Arab states that even acknowledge that Israel is a legitimate nation. They call Israel an occupation in Palestine rather than a country. If Israel is to exist, the dilemma of how the Middle East will move forward as a stable territory with a Jewish settlement in the centre of the Islamic world has been the burden to bare for diplomats since Israel’s founding in 1948.
On top of the fact that Israel’s neighbors do not welcome them, Israel is at odds with the people that originally inhabited the land they settled. Palestinians have had claim to the land Israel occupies for thousands of years until now. Today, Palestine as we acknowledge it, has been shrunk into two split territories. The West Bank, a plot of land to the east of the centre of Israel with three million Palestinians. And the Gaza Strip a tiny, narrow area to the west of Israel that borders Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea with two million Palestinians. Over the course of Israel’s history the Palestinians have been consistently losing land to the Jews.
This is no mere diplomatic disagreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis. The tensions get violent frequently. The IDF routinely get into border skirmishes with militant Palestinian groups. Israel has killed 172 Palestinians in the West Bank this year. Multiple UN resolutions have declared Israeli settlements in the West Bank a violation of international law and demanded that Israel seize all settlement activity. Even America, Israel’s ‘greatest ally’ has disavowed Israel’s eastern expansion.
So, why did Hamas invade now? What provoked this attack? Well, the immediate provocation according to Hamas was when 800 Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque in East Jerusalem to perform Talmudic rituals. Hamas is even calling the invasion: operation Al-Aqsa flood.
Hamas has said it was motivated to launch the attack essentially as the culmination of long-building anger over Israeli policy, including recent outbreaks of violence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, but more generally over the treatment of Palestinians and the expansion of Israeli settlements. - CBS News
There is an additional theory as to why Hamas invaded. The Biden Administration has been in talks to get Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham accords. The Abraham accords is a bilateral agreement Arab states sign to normalize ties with Israel. This involves an Arab state acknowledging Israel’s legitimacy.
If Saudi Arabia were to join the Abraham accords the Palestinians would lose a vital security guarantee. A significant deterrent the Likud party has to perusing Greater Israel is the threat of war from surrounding Islamic countries. If Israel were to act brazen and do something like annex the Gaza Strip they risk war with all of their Arab neighbors. Hamas and the Palestinian Authority would never win a war against Israel but they would receive assistance from their Muslim allies.
The goal of Hamas would be to halt the process of Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham accords with this attack.

How Did the Mossad Get Caught off Guard?
How did one of the most sophisticated intelligence agencies in the entire planet get caught off guard like this? Especially during the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war. You’d think Israel would be on high alert.
Egyptian intelligence officials have come forward stating they had warned Israel prior to the attack. Saying that ‘something big’ was going to come out of Gaza
An Egyptian intelligence official told the Associated Press news agency this week that Cairo had repeatedly warned the Israelis "something big" was being planned from Gaza.
"We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Cairo official said Israeli officials had played down the threat from Gaza, instead focusing on the West Bank. - BBC News
Why didn’t Israel listen? Perhaps Israel allowed the attack to happen.
Benjamin Netanyahu has been fighting for his political life amid the judicial reform the Likud party was bringing forth a few months ago. Under charges of corruption and bribery Netanyahu was becoming an extremely unpopular figure in Israel. Liberal Israelis protested in the streets for weeks.
Netanyahu’s judicial reform would essentially disable the courts from checking the power of the Knesset. This would give the Likud party the freedom to do whatever they want in the West Bank without the restriction of the Israeli courts, for example. There was talk of an Israeli civil war because of how unpopular this judicial reform was.
Now the animosity of the Jews has been directed at their Muslim attackers. Netanyahu’s opposition in the Knesset has effectively rallied behind him. And this invasion gives the Likud party the pretext to perform an aggressive retaliation. Seemingly it has given Netanyahu everything he would want.
Little Satan always up to tricks
International Response
Predictably, the United States has come out in full support of Israel. During talks in congress of weaponry shortages due to Ukraine aid, America has confidently stated that despite this it will give Israel whatever it needs. The United States military has sent an aircraft carrier across the Mediterranean to assist the IDF in conducting airstrikes against Gaza.
Tons of other nations light up their buildings with Israeli flags denouncing Hamas as terrorists.
Kind of makes it look like Jews control the world or something.
The Worst Case Scenario
The Islamic military group in South Lebanon, Hezbollah have stated that they will not join the conflict as of yet. There is still an uneasy muttering about an Arab cohort responding to Israel. Hamas themselves receive monetary support from Iran. And Iran is currently Israel’s top adversary.
Zionists have spurred a fuss about the recent negotiations between the United States and Iran. America and Iran conducted a prisoner swap and the Biden administration unfroze 6 billion dollars of Iranian assets that were stored in a South Korean bank. Jews foaming at the mouth for a war with Iran have claimed this money was used to fund the Hamas invasion. The American state department had to make a statement ensuring the assets have not been touched at all.
Western diplomats should be doing everything necessary to de-escalate this conflict. A war with Iran would be catastrophic. Iran has allies in China and Russia. Instead of supplying Netanyahu with ammunition to basically turn Gaza into a parking lot, western leaders should be encouraging a restrained response to the Hamas invasion. Anything to avoid a provocation with a neighboring Arab coalition or military group.
Hamas’ guerilla warfare tactics are certainly not morally upright. But it would be a positive development for Israel’s allies to recognize that the Palestinians have a legitimate plight. Or even a response of indifference instead of unwavering solidarity with Israel. It just goes to show how detrimental it is to have America and the western world totally captured by Zionists. The Middle East will literally never be stable as long as Jewish Zionist subversion continues.
