    You don’t need brains to pull a trigger…You only need a finger. Others plan.

        Are you taking notes on a criminal fu*kin conspiracy?

          No but it sounds like you’ve reasoned this out on an etch a sketch.

      Another great point. Let’s plan and draft up these top secret documents, and not train the soldier to the specifics of the operation, because we can just give him the documents to take with him. That way, while they’re driving their jeeps and motorbikes and shooting rifles, they can take time in enemy territory to review the plan on the fly. Hopefully that idiot can read, though!

        Part of it is likely that if they trained the soldiers in the plan beforehand, they risked leaks,

        Now, we know there were leaks, and warnings to Netanyahu that he ignored, but Hamas likely didn’t know that he would straight up ignore the threat.

        There’s also the issue of compartmentalization. Hamas operates in cells, because that makes them harder to kill in air strikes. They’re spread out, partially disorganized, and try to keep communication between them to paper or in person. All to keep Israel from spying on them.

        It’s not a stretch to think that the foot soldiers were handed these papers half an hour before they were set to go. It’s a sloppy way to run an op, but the op was mass murder and kidnapping, so I’m okay with them being less efficient than they could have been.

          I don’t think it overcomes reasonable doubt in this situation, especially given the widespread propaganda surrounding the narrative that hamas is killing children with no supporting evidence. My opinion is that critical thinking affords the benefit of the doubt to this not being accurate in this case.
