The TRUTH About October 7th (And it changes everything) – parts 1 and 2

We all know that the genocide in Gaza started when Hamas broke into Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, 2023. Just a few months ago NBC news said, “This latest conflict began on October 7th when Hamas massacred 1,200 people in Israel.” NPR stated, “…fighters from Hamas killed around 1,200 people…” The New York Times recently printed, “Hamas invaded southern Israel, killing roughly 1,200 people…”

And Yoav Gallant, who was Israel’s Defense Minister at the time of the attacks, said just a few months ago, “Israeli troops were ordered to shoot and kill captive Israeli civilians on 7 October 2023.”

Wait, WHAT? …Israeli troops killed a bunch of Israelis? This seems to be a reference to the Hannibal Directive, which is the Israeli military’s sometimes policy of killing everyone around—Hostage takers, hostages, Israeli soldiers, onlookers, woodchucks, etc.

Update: LIVE: Israeli air raids, demolitions hit Gaza despite ceasefire

But wait. We all know the Hannibal Directive doesn’t exist. Well, we all know it except apparently for former Defense Minister (and part-time war criminal) Yoav Gallant. He also said not long ago,

“The order to carry out Israel’s so-called Hannibal Directive was issued ‘tactically’ and ‘in various places’ next to Gaza, Yoav Gallant told Israel’s Channel 12…”

But it’s fine because the plan to kill everyone was issued tactically. (Just like I use my sledge hammer to kill an ant on my glass living room table – carefully.)

If this is true, it goes against the “1,200 killed by Hamas” claim vomited up by every Western media outlet every time they mention the word “Gaza” or “Israel” or “October”. Well, not all of the media has denied the Hannibal truth. Not Israeli media. Here’s from Haaretz: “IDF Ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7 to Prevent Hamas Taking Soldiers Captive”.

So, the Israeli military was killing tons of Israelis on October 7th?! This changes everything. …We need to get an official trusted body like the United Nations to look into this! — Oh wait, they have looked into this.

“The report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (COI) documented repeated uses of the so-called Hannibal Directive on 7 October as Israel was combating Hamas fighters…”

Okay, fine. The IDF might’ve killed a few Israelis, but it probably wasn’t that many.

“A new investigative article by …two journalists with extensive sources inside Israel’s military and intelligence establishment …revealed that ‘some 70 vehicles’ driven by Palestinian fighters returning to Gaza were blown up by Israeli helicopter gunships, drones or tanks.”

Seventy vehicles blown up?! That sounds like it would probably have killed a lot of Israeli hostages and bystanders. Even if it were just 2 or 3 per vehicle, that’s hundreds of people. It can’t be that many cars or we would’ve seen piles of them. — Oh wait, there’s literally video of piles of them.

Holy shit! Why haven’t I seen those before? Why aren’t there tours being given of the wreckage?

(see also. by Lee Camp – HERE . Could You Imagine A More Terrorist State Than Israel?A quick thought experiment)

Oh wait, Israel admitted they shredded and buried hundreds of cars filled with evidence. Why in God’s name would Israel do such a thing? According to Jerusalem Post they did it “in order to save space and be as environmentally-friendly as possible…”

Environmentally friendly?! Yeah, that is so Israel. When you look at a photo of Gaza, you think, “They’re trying to be eco-friendly. Israel is the Greta Thunberg of ethnic cleansing.” (When they aren’t kidnapping and torturing Greta Thunberg.)

Sooo, let me get this straight. Israel has admitted they killed loads of their own people on Oct 7th, and they’ve admitted to destroying and burying all the evidence because they care about the environment.

But back up. If a mass Hannibal Directive happened, there’d also be witness testimony from those who survived this horror show. Oh wait—There is.

“…the key testimony of Yasmin Porat, an Israeli woman who survived a massacre by Israeli forces at Kibbutz Be’eri. According to her account, many Israeli civilians were killed when Israeli forces opened fire with heavy weapons including tank shells at the small kibbutz house they were held by Palestinian fighters.”

Opened fire on a kibbutz house?! I doubt it. I wouldn’t believe that unless I saw video of the tank operators themselves admitting it. …Oh, there is.

In fact the tank gunner says she was told to fire at a house with tank rounds, but she stopped to ask the commanding officer if there were Israeli civilians inside. He said, “I don’t know, just fire.” But she decided to only fire her machine gun at the house instead of tank blasts.

…And she’s proud enough of this to talk about it on national television. Okay, okay, maybe this was a rare incident. Maybe this one tank gunner went nuts. If it happened a lot, we would hear that the IDF fired thousands of bullets and bombs.

Oh, wait—As Israel Hayom reported,

“Data revealed here for the first time shows that during the fighting on October 7, the Air Force fired 11,000 shells, dropped more than 500 heavy one-ton bombs and launched 180 missiles.”

500 one-ton bombs?! 180 missiles?! …Honestly, those numbers don’t make any sense. To achieve those numbers, you’d have to just be shooting at everything. Well, as Haaretz reported,

“ ‘Shoot at everything,’ one squadron leader reportedly told his men.”

So one of the most powerful militaries in the world was literally firing at everything that moved on Oct 7th and killed hundreds of their own people who were completely innocent. It follows that the 1200 number we hear endlessly could actually be 800 killed by Hamas and 400 by Israel. Or 600 and 600? Or even worse? This changes the ENTIRE story.

Why haven’t any journalists demanded Trump or Biden or Antony Blinken or Marco Rubio answer to this? —OH, right, I remember.

Journalist Sam Husseini tried to ask Antony Blinken about the Hannibal Directive at a press conference and was quickly and violently carried out of the room and concussed.

I’ve got one more question—Even though Israel shredded and buried the cars, isn’t there any surveillance footage showing the behavior of the IDF? Showing what exactly happened?

Well, Jerusalem Post reported, “Critical IDF surveillance videos from Hamas’s attack on Oct. 7 missing”. Of course they are. I mean, if you’re gonna kill hundreds of your own citizens, you totally gotta wipe the cameras. I learned that from Ocean’s 11.

Anyway, all-told there are mountains of evidence showing the IDF killed a ridiculous number of their own citizens on October 7th, 2023 and yet our rotting raccoon carcass (AKA western media) faithfully repeats the lie every day that 1200 Israelis were killed by Hamas. Unbelievable. It’s almost like they don’t mind lying at all. It’s almost like it’s their job.

PART TWO

All The Proof Israel Knew Exactly What Would Happen Oct 7th — First Allowing It, Then Making It Much Worse

This Truth Changes Everything

by Lee Camp Apr 07, 2025

We all know that Hamas committed the October 7th, 2023 attack on Israel, killing 1,200 Israelis. Well, as covered in my previous column, we know that the IDF actually killed hundreds of those Israelis, so 1,200 is a completely false number. But who cares about reality? Last I checked it’s over-priced, over-hyped, and doesn’t look nearly as good once it takes its clothes off.

But let’s ignore the 1,200 number. What about everything else that happened that day? Do we know the truth? The corporate media tells us Hamas surprised Israel and committed this massacre out of the blue. But is it true Israel had no warning? That they got caught with their pants down and their wigs tied on backwards (which is an expression I’m trying to start)? To find out, all we need is an independent unbiased investigation of that horrible day.

But Benjamin Netanyahu has absolutely refused a true October 7th investigation. He wants us to see the truth less than P. Diddy wants the courts to see the photos he took in Justin Bieber’s attic during Mardi Gras. Here’s from Haaretz: “Netanyahu fended off a push for a national commission of inquiry into the October 7 failures, again claiming that ‘first, I want to beat Hamas.’”

Yes! Because that’s going to happen any minute. Before we can find out what REALLY happened October 7th, we need to ride on flying unicorns while watching Doctor Phil do something legitimately medical. None of that is ever happening.

And for some reason it took the IDF hours to respond to the actions of Hamas on that horrible day. Is it possible no one noticed that Gazans had breached the fence that normally keeps them imprisoned? The IDF has a specific job for so-called “spotters” who monitor all of the video feeds around the border fence — One of the most surveilled places on earth. The spotters have no other job but to “spot” shit going down and they saw nothing! — Oh wait, the exact opposite of that.

As Haaretz reported, the parents of the spotters [who had been killed on October 7th] met with Netanyahu, and “…the parents told Netanyahu about how their daughters had warned repeatedly of a Hamas invasion. [A mother] said her daughter told her… ‘There’s going to be an invasion,’ …’When did she tell you that?’ Netanyahu asked, and the mother replied: ‘During the time she was there. She said it several times, in fact.’ Another woman said, ‘For a month, they were telling us every day: ‘It’s trouble, they [Hamas] keep training.’ The prime minister asked her: ‘They told you that?’“

Netanyahu can’t believe that there was foreknowledge of October 7th. He’s taken aback, just like Beyonce when she won her 35th Grammy. “What?! There’s no way! I’m speechless!”

One of the few surviving spotters – Captain Amit Yeru-shalmi testified, “I saw training sessions, sometimes it was once or twice a month. [Later] it started to be once a week, and …even several times a day … We reported everything… We sat there for two years…”

The Institute of Defense Analyses put out an in-depth report on the (cough) failures of October 7th. In it they say, “The sentries’ reports were validated by signals intelligence (SIGINT) reports. In July 2023, [one officer] from Unit 8200… was crystal clear in her assessment, writing, ‘This is a plan designed to start a war…. They are training, with large forces, for a big event. This is preparation for the real thing.’“

Apparently Hamas practiced invading Israel in clear view of the IDF more often than Steph Curry practices fucking three-pointers or Stephen Miller practices his thousand-yard-I’ve-had-dogs-lick-peanut-butter-off-my-junk stare. Yet the Israeli government and the mainstream media want you to believe it’s a security and intelligence failure. “How did we miss that?! Drats! We watched them practice for two years, but we just thought it was a community theater production of Intifada: The Musical. We didn’t think they’d DO any of it.”

In Professor Anthony Hall’s piece on this topic, he wrote, “Whole high-tech systems, involving the gates for entry to and exit from Gaza, were left completely open on the fateful morning. That kind of transgression could only originate in an intentional action, not in the mistake of some forgetful official.” So unless they had Joe Biden watching the fence, this was NO accident. Professor Hall also pointed out that many of the usual soldiers who patrol the Gaza walls just happened to have been sent to the West Bank on that day.

Okay fine, so the soldiers were moved away from the area, some surveillance was shut down, and the spotters were ignored (for years). But still, I don’t think we should believe there’s anything strange about this unless we hear from an actual former IDF soldier who understands these systems – And there is no one like that speaking out. …Except for this former IDF soldier right there.

She says when she was in the IDF, a cat moving along the border fence was easily detectable and triggered an IDF response. A cat. Yet the IDF failed to respond to hundreds of guys with guns? Maybe Hamas was dressed like cats? Oh wait, the IDF does notice cats. Well maybe the IDF thought it was Cats: The Musical!

But still, you can’t really fault Israel unless they were warned by more legit super awesome powers, like US intelligence. As reported by CNN, “US intelligence warned of the potential for violence days before Hamas attack.”

Okay, so there’s that. But I bet that’s a lie. We all know it’s only real if the New York Times or Washington Post say it’s real. As reported by the New York Times, “Israel Knew Hamas’s Attack Plan More Than a Year Ago: A blueprint reviewed by The Times laid out the attack in detail.”

In detail? So not just the words “October 7th BAD THING!” scrawled on a cocktail napkin?

The New York Times: “The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.” Forty pages?! Yeah, but so what if Israel had the entire plan? Maybe Hamas didn’t follow that plan at all and Israel had no idea what was happening.

The New York Times: “Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision.”

Okay, never mind. …So Israel was warned by the US, warned by the spotters (for years), warned by the literal Hamas blueprints — Is there anybody else who would like to warn Israel about Hamas’s attack? I bet Cam Jansen saw some shit. Anybody else?

Oh, Egypt warned Israel days before Hamas struck. And Hamas fighters openly practiced their maneuvers near the Gaza fence. Calling this a secret mission is like calling a popular TikTok dance trend a secret mission. Anyone else wanna get in on the whole warning Israel October 7th was gonna happen?

From PBS: “Hamas (also) posted video of mock attack on social media weeks before border breach”

Hamas warned Israel on fucking Instagram?! Why haven’t we heard about this more?! Why hasn’t this been covered in the mainstream media constantly?! — Well, here’s the BBC talking about the attack. “Surprise was crucial in Hamas’s assault. Israeli intelligence failed to get inside the planning by Hamas for the attack.”

Surprise… Was… Crucial.

Well done, BBC. Seems like this assault was about as surprising as when Israel announced they have nuclear weapons. Oh wait, they still haven’t admitted it. Let me try again — About as surprising as when BBC admitted their editor-in-chief is a group of drunk ferrets with brain parasites and the parasites eat a lot of paint chips. …Better.

On top of ALL Of that — “Netanyahu and [others] held back the IDF from military responses throughout the key hours during the morning of October 7…”

Hmmm, what would you say if I told you Israel knew exactly what was going to happen on October 7th — Pulled soldiers AWAY from the area, ignored all surveillance, didn’t respond for a long time, and then when they finally responded, they murdered hundreds of their own people intentionally? Then they wiped the surveillance footage and buried the mountains of evidence? …Would you think perhaps some people in power wanted it to happen?

Noooo, NEVER! Because in order to believe that, you’d have to think Israel didn’t mind the deaths of their own people. …Oh, that’s right, they murdered hundreds of their people on that day alone. So we’re pretty clear on where they stand on that.

But what about the Nova Music Festival? A lot of the worst of October 7th took place at that festival, so clearly Israel didn’t know anything was gonna happen or they would’ve never allowed that festival location. Well actually, as covered by Billboard, “[The Nova Festival] was not originally intended to take place at the Re’im site, with organizers moving it to this location only two days before it started…”

It is confirmed now that Liel Hetzroni’s body was burned beyond recognition by an Israeli tank on October 7

Your maniacal army also killed her brother and great-aunt and many of her neighbors before moving on to commit genocide in Gaza https://t.co/IUafRa7WOU
— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) November 25, 2023

The festival goers were put in that location at the last minute — as IDF spotters were saying Hamas was preparing to do exactly what they did. Great idea. Let’s hold Coachella on the former site of Fukishima. Should be fun.

Former Intelligence officer for the CIA Phillip Giraldi said, “So, given all of the evidence, there likely was no intelligence failure to anticipate and counter the Hamas attack. Rather there was a political decision made by the Israeli government that knew what might be coming and chose to let it proceed to provide a casus belli to destroy Gaza…”

And as we all know “casus belli” is the part of the pork belly that tastes the most delicious. …Wait, my A.I. assistant tells me it means “justification for war.” …But I was close.

I’ll let you make your own decision about the truth about October 7th. But let’s finish with this — Just days before that fateful day that Israel has used to justify genocide, Benjamin Netanyahu stood in front of the UN and held up a map with Gaza and the West Bank erased. …So do you think he was looking for a way to achieve the thing he told the world he wanted to achieve?
