The Israelis have the power to end the political and economic conditions (which they created and maintain) which lead to violence
The Palestinians do not
If you're saddened or angered by the deaths of Israeli civilians, you can take those complaints straight to the Israeli government. Any handwringing about violence committed by the Palestinians is de facto support for the illegal occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid state of Israel.
One of the most standout moments from the pod ever was when Felix went on a rant (and showed emotion for once) where he talked about how Netanyahu wants the Jewish diaspora to experience antisemtism and be afraid for their lives because it serves his agenda for that to be the case.
Libs on reddit and the MSM calling this an "intelligence failure" are out of their minds. Mossad allowed for this to happen to drum up fear and jingoism and justify horrific reprisals against the Palestinian people.
There is a possibility that the zionist regime covertly allowed the resistance to grow bolder in order to increase support for genocide. They're certainly callous enough to sacrifice a few hundred of their own people to score points.
However, there is no proof for this and until there is, it remains an unproven conspiracy theory. Even if there was some shenanigans going on behind the scene it seems unlikely that they wanted it to go as far as it has, while some spectacular attacks to drum up support for genocide makes sense in their sick minds, a giant humiliation and breakdown in public trust that the regime is able to keep its own population safe does not.
