Who benefited from October 7th?

Amid Israel’s continuing military aggression in Gaza, questions about the breach of Israel’s security barriers by 3,000 Hamas-led fighters on 7 October 2023 remain unanswered. Speculations abound regarding top Israeli leaders’ alleged negligence or complicity in allowing the breach to fuel justifications for ethically cleansing Gaza and annexing the West Bank.

A lesser-known aspect surrounding the events preceding the 7 October attack is the suspicious stock market activity just days before the tragedy struck. Reports suggest that certain investors engaged in short selling, indicating a foreknowledge of the impending conflict. This information raises eyebrows about potential insider dealings or information leaks leading to financial gains at the expense of the impending violence and loss of life.

The Supernova rave, a site of immense tragedy where 378 individuals perished and 44 were taken captive, was an alarming precursor to the larger looming assault. The fact that top Israeli military officials encountered suspicious circumstances at the rave, but neglected to act on them, lends credence to the theory of deliberate ignorance or malfeasance within the Israeli ranks.

Furthermore, the revelation that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to the crisis may have been marred by his chief of staff manipulating phone logs to create a false narrative raises further doubts about the integrity and transparency of Israeli leadership during such crises. The existence of prior warnings of impending rocket attacks the night before 7 October that were disregarded in favor of protecting intelligence sources raises serious concerns about the government’s priorities.

Israel’s failure to heed warnings about possible rocket attacks and its subsequent emphasis on mass displacement of Palestinians exposes a troubling agenda at play. The government’s readiness to evict Gaza’s population, negotiating resettlement deals with various countries, highlights a callous disregard for the lives and well-being of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of political machinations.

Moreover, the possession of a detailed assault plan by Israeli officials a year prior to the attack, coupled with the apparent lack of response to visible Hamas training activities and red flags, further deepens the suspicions surrounding the events of 7 October. The reluctance to undertake a comprehensive investigation into the government’s role in the lead-up to the attack, while scrutinizing the military’s actions, raises questions about potential cover-ups or selective disclosure of information to sway public opinion.

The study conducted by former SEC head Robert Jackson Jr. and Columbia law professor Joshua Mitts shedding light on the suspicious stock market activities preceding 7 October adds another layer to the unfolding mystery. The practice of short selling by unidentified investors, resulting in substantial profits post-attack, underscores the sinister financial motives that may have underpinned the events leading up to the tragic assault.

In conclusion, the confluence of events surrounding the 7 October attack, from the military’s negligence to the government’s complicity, and the shadowy financial dealings hint at a complex web of deceit and manipulation at play. The need for a transparent and impartial investigation into these matters becomes paramount to ensure accountability and justice for the victims of this tragic event.
