An explosive report by Israel’s Shin Bet, their internal Security Agency which is similar to the U.S.’s FBI, was published in the Israeli media this week, where they revealed that the Israeli government has in fact been funding Hamas long before the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attacks.

This news was scarcely covered in the U.S. media, or spun in a way to downplay its significance.

Here is the initial report published by The Jerusalem Post:

Netanyahu’s funding for Hamas via Qatar enabled October 7 invasion, Shin Bet reveals

While the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) took a significant amount of responsibility for the disasters on October 7 in its report published unexpectedly on Tuesday, it also implicated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by implying that his policies regarding the Temple Mount, the treatment of Palestinian prisoners, and the judicial reform led to Hamas’s decision to initiate its long-planned invasion.

Other policies carried out under Netanyahu that the agency flagged as problematic and as contributions to Hamas’s decision to invade were his facilitation of Qatari funding to Hamas and his opposition to proposed assassination operations of top Hamas leaders at the time.

Israeli intelligence: Qatar developed two funding pipelines to Hamas

Israeli intelligence has said that Qatar eventually developed two funding pipelines to Hamas. One was supervised by Israel and, at least officially, only went to Gaza’s civilian needs. However, Israeli intelligence has said that another funding pipeline, especially in more recent years, circumvented Israeli oversight and went directly to Hamas.

Besides the second funding pipeline, Israeli intelligence analysts have pointed out that the funding that went to civilian Gazan needs made it easier for Hamas to spend more of its existing funds on the vast terror and military operations that the IDF was confronted with in Gaza during the war.

The report never mentions Netanyahu by name, and technically, some of these policies were those of then-national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Netanyahu, though, as prime minister, allowed many of the policies to continue despite having the power to stop them.

Most of the report, however, was about the Shin Bet’s own failures. It did not warn about an invasion, it misinterpreted Hamas’s intentions – both before October 7 and on the day – it failed to adjust to Hamas as a sophisticated military entity, allowing Hamas to massively arm itself, and it did not recognize the depth of the harm being done to Israeli deterrence.

Another blind spot was the agency’s belief on the eve of October 7 that Hamas might be focused on an attack in the West Bank, partially because its leaders carried out an unusual terrorist attack there on October 5.

Conceptually wise, the Shin Bet said that it had far too much confidence in the IDF’s hi-tech border fence, was too invested in quiet and stability, and was too worried about miscalculations in pressuring Hamas that could lead to instability or an “unnecessary” war – as the 2014 conflict was viewed. (Full article. Emphasis mine.)

The only way to explain how this was not headline news all over the world earlier this week when this report was published, is that the Zionists have a very tight noose around the English media empires, regardless of whether they lean “liberal” or “conservative”.

And of course, shortly after this report by Shin Bet was published in the Israeli media, it was reported in the U.S. media that the U.S. was in fact in direct communication with Hamas. See:

Has Israel’s Goal Always Been to Occupy Gaza through Ethnic Cleansing and NOT to Defeat Hamas?

And this report followed Trump’s Executive Order that bypassed Congress to send over $3 BILLION in military support to Israel last week. See:

Trump Bypasses Congress with Executive Order to Send $3 BILLION in Bombs and Weapons to Israel to Expand War in West Bank

I wonder how much of that will find its way into the hands of Hamas’s military?

I bolded two significant points in my quote from The Jerusalem Post above.

First, Shin Bet is admitting that Hamas is a “sophisticated military entity”, without providing any details about how that has happened, and where they are purchasing their “sophisticated” military weapons.

It is always assumed in the Western media that Iran is supplying these weapons, but Iran denies this, and with this report now that Israel has actually been funding Hamas, it is entirely possible that this “sophisticated military” is funded by Israel, which of course is funded by the U.S.

This also lends more credibility to non-Western media sources who claim that Hamas has had the upper hand against Israel all along.

I published some excerpts earlier this week from Sam Parker of Behind the News Network and his most recent article about Gaza.

Contrary to what has been presented to the Western public, the Israeli military did not fight a war that targeted Hamas, instead they pursued their genocides and employed cowardly tactics that aimed to minimize their soldier casualties.

Ever wondered why the Israelis never had any real combat footage that featured their soldiers engaged in battles with Palestinian fighters? One explanation could be that no battles were actually fought in the Gaza Strip, yet that is contradicted by the near daily stream of clips, produced by some dozen Resistance groups, that featured attacks against the invading army.

The spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced in his ceasefire speech that over 2,000 Israeli tanks were damaged or destroyed by the group’s fighters. Note that this is 1 group amongst many others in Gaza.

Despite the Israelis not having admitted to the number of tanks, bulldozers, jeeps, and APCs that were damaged/destroyed, reports published. And what about the Lebanese front, where an estimated 200 plus tanks were destroyed, besides other military vehicles?

The real reason why the Israelis didn’t defeat the Palestinian Resistance factions is because they weren’t really there to fight them.

The primary target of each of their invasions, throughout the Gaza Strip, was always civilian infrastructure. In Israeli media suggested that tanks were in short supply.

Their true purpose was not to pursue a military victory over Hamas, which we can prove through the absence of any clear plans at any stage of the war; it was just uncontrolled slaughter and destruction.

They sought to pulverize and terrorize, with the propaganda behind them to justify it in their own minds.

While the lie was sold to the world that the war was specifically designed to destroy Hamas, it never was, they sought to destroy the people of Gaza and their livelihoods.

They didn’t invade in order to fight Palestinian resistance groups and that’s why there is virtually no footage documenting this, even the few examples of combat footage they filmed ended up making the Palestinian fighters they killed look like heroes from an action film. (Source.)

The second point I bolded was this: Shin Bet said that it had far too much confidence in the IDF’s hi-tech border fence. 

As I have been writing for over 2 years now, Big Tech is going to come crashing down at some point, because our faith in it is NOT justified, and it cannot do most of the things the Technocrats say it can do, because so much of it is Science Fiction, based on FAITH in what it can do, in the future.

As can be expected, Netanyahu received considerable criticism in Israel after this report by Shin Bet was published, and in his attempt to explain it, he did NOT deny that the reports were true.

Netanyahu: Money to Hamas part of strategy to keep Palestinians divided

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s regular allowing of Qatari funds to be transferred into Gaza, saying it is part of a broader strategy to keep Hamas and the Palestinian Authority separate, a source in Monday’s Likud faction meeting said.

Netanyahu explained that, in the past, the PA transferred the millions of dollars to Hamas in Gaza. He argued that it was better for Israel to serve as the pipeline to ensure the funds don’t go to terrorism.

“Now that we are supervising, we know it’s going to humanitarian causes,” the source said, paraphrasing Netanyahu.

The prime minister also said that, “whoever is against a Palestinian state should be for” transferring the funds to Gaza, because maintaining a separation between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza helps prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. (Source.)
