I read that the Taiwan pager company Golden Apollo (that the Hungarian company BAC that is suspected of being the ‘middleman’ in the attack purchased licensing of, hence why the remnants of the bomb pagers were licensed as official Golden Apollo ones) is a very established exporter of pagers to north america and west europe and is used by western intelligence agencies. western intelligence apparently (by their words so who knows) got tipped off that “something” was being planned to happen by Israelis but weren’t told what.
So it is conceivable that it was a simultaneous terror attack on Lebanon and low-key threat to its western backers who are faltering or otherwise having their populace turn on their support. There were EU countries who not only abstained in the UN GA vote, but even voted in favor with the “uncivilized world” in calling Israel’s presence in the occupied territories “unlawful,” demanding they remove themselves, and urging countries to embargo them from weapons and war-prosecuting material trade. While the Israeli UN ambassador shitted and farted and cried about how it is “diplomatic terrorism” (Whatever the fuck that even means)
They’re non-binding but still politically representative of trends. The stances of these countries and their populations leading up to votes like this is definitely easy for intelligence to have prior-knowledge of; and the Democrats are and have been visibly hemorrhaging support over this. The mass sustained protests all over the world against the IOF’s genocidal occupation and assaults and for the liberation of Palestine have become unignorable by their establishments. Even US college campuses have had to update their rulebooks to include “zionism” as hate speech (surely not going to hurt Jews and trivialize and provide cover for actual judeophobia by equating Jews with Israel. DtA). So it could be a double-message there.
As well, Israel is just desperate to escalate in as many tangential ways as it can to kick off a regional war and drag the US and NATOsphere into it because their current predicament is unsustainable.
We need a new rejuvination of spirit and comradery of purpose in action with which to rally around instead of the lustreless consumerist idleness of the bygone era
