Analysis of Israel's Military Response to Hamas
Before we dive into the evidence
that suggests there was some type of military stand-down
order on October 7th
It's important to remember that
Israel is just slightly bigger than the size
of the state of, New Jersey
But for some reason once the Hamas attacks began
the time it took the Israeli army
and rescue teams to arrive Fight and rescue Israelis
at the different kibbutz communities and sites being attacked
Well that ranged anywhere from four hours
to more than 20 hours
Even the New York Times is reporting
quote Thousands of soldiers were less than 40 minutes
from the towns that were under attack
So why did it take so long for help to arrive?
For example kibbutz Bieri was under siege
by Palestinian militants beginning around 6 a.m.
That was the morning of October 7th
a video that Israeli media obtained
from an army helicopter Cooperated by Israeli survivors proves
that there were more than 500 Israeli soldiers
Directly outside of the kibbutz entrance
fully armed with Humvees and tanks,
but not until 430 in the afternoon
That's 10 hours after the attack began
it took 10 hours for those soldiers to show up
But it gets stranger because
the first rescue mission wasn't actually underway
at kibbutz Bieri again According to Israeli media
until almost 7 p.m.
That's 13 hours after the attack began
at Ziva as survivor of the beret attack
described to her rats quote
500 soldiers stood outside with equipment and vehicles.
I remember yelling at them We're being slaughtered
come in save us and no one said anything
So why in our last episode we discussed
the Nova music festival
We showed you that the party was approved last minute
despite Multiple warnings of a violent incursion from Gaza
and we've discussed how days before the festival
two entire brigades of soldiers were Taken away
from the area of the Gaza border
and then sent to the West Bank
and you might think that immediately upon receiving information
of a devastating attack on party goers
Military authorities would alert units to immediately exit their bases
race to the side of the conflict
and go on the counter-attack, right?
But that's not what happened.
Paret's reported quote at 7 a.m
The party organizer called lieutenant-colonel Ilad is
and Danny the man tasked with approving the festival
and told him that terrorists were shooting the party goers
He suggested that they fend for themselves
The first IDF forces arrived at the party scene
at 3 p.m
That's 8 hours for a response time
for one of the most efficient capable
and well militarized security forces in the world
Operating in a country the size of New Jersey
with their Gaza division only a few miles away
What makes it even more strange
around four hours into the Hamas assault at 1046 a.m
Israel was already launching operations and bombing targets inside of Gaza.
So hold on let that sink in
If Israel could begin an offensive attack into Gaza within 4 hours.
Why did it take more than 6 hours
in most cases more than 10 hours
and in some cases 20 hours
to mobilize inside their own country to stop the ongoing attack
to defend the lives of their own people.
Jonathan Pollard is an Israeli American
is a former National Security Agency employee
he served 30 years in federal prison
for giving classified information to Israel.
Of course you should always be skeptical
of the claims of a former spy
but on a podcast Pollard seems to suggest
there was a military stand down order
in place on October 7th
and considering all the evidence it makes sense
I have friends.
Who were helicopter pilots attack pilots
who were sitting in their cockpits ready to take off.
Fully loaded ready ready ready to stop them
at the fence.
They didn't get their orders for 6 hours
they could hear it they could hear the fighting.
They were called by friends in the board of people
to team in most of them that were being overrun
and slaughtered saying help us please
they're killing our children.
They weren't given permission to take off.
That will haunt my friends for the rest of his life.
The New York Times quoted been Zion and
Israeli military reservists who spoke to Israeli media.
He said his unit voluntarily left central Israel
in a convoy at 0130PM
they got together and they left
for the South on their own.
He expected to see the roads packed with soldiers
and equipment and armored vehicles heading South
quote the roads were empty.
He recalled in an interview roughly 7 hours into the fighting
he turned to the reservists next to him and asked
where's the IDF.
Now we've got a lot of information that you hear so
let's sum up the timeline at 0600AM
Hamas began their violent assault on southern Israel
by launching hundreds of rockets and then breaching the border
at 10AM the Israeli defense minister announced that Israel is at war.
30 minutes later, the Israeli military announced
it was already identifying and bombing targets inside of Gaza
and from there it took anywhere from 4 hours to 10 hours
for army units to arrive and
then sometimes another 4 hours to 10 hours
for them to actually engage the militants
and begin to save Israelis.
Between the trove of concrete evidence that suggests
Israeli military allowed October 7th to happen
by ignoring dozens of reliable and specific warnings
threatening soldiers with legal actions to try to warn their military superiors
and taking troops away from the area of the Gaza border
that was attacked and now evidence that suggests
there was some type of military stand down order in place on October 7th.
It's war is the United States supporting?
The brutal and deadly Hamas terrorist attack of October 7th
is so central in justifying Israel's ongoing war in Gaza
that Israel is actually outlawing questioning the October 7th government narrative.
Israelis who spread information counter to the October 7th government narrative,
which the Israeli Knesset calls falsehoods and propaganda,
could face up to five years in prison.
Why are they doing that?
