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?
