      I’m not surprised Israeli politicians or IDF leadership would conspire to enable domestic terrorism. Fascists do not value the lives of anyone but themselves and their immediate family/friends. I am surprised they would do it so blatantly.

      How many soldiers would have been pulled from routine patrols? How often do they rotate or change patrols? You’d assume they’d advise patrols to check specific areas based on intelligence, but not the opposite. How would hundreds, if not thousands, of people not connect the dots instantly? Why would it take years for any of them to speak out?
