  1. Israel's value to the US is its Intel capabilities. Seems it's overvalued.

  2. There’s going to be a lot of firings.

  3. Israeli intelligence service being blind ?
    or others with ulterior motives – passing on false information – false information – or no information.
    I smell a rat — there is no way this could have happened without the connivance of people in Mossad – the White House — or both.

  4. The germans were also caught off guard in during the warsaw ghetto uprising of 1945. Bet you the Zionist regime's reaction will be the same.

  5. Yes. Trump must have something to do with this and his blabbering about the national secrets. Look what you caused, Trump! Stop blaming President Biden for your outrageous mistakes. Trump's allies are Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Belarus, Venezuela, and other countries' dictators.
    Obviously, he doesn't want to stay behind!

  6. Israel! 💞🙌💜💙🇮🇱💙

  7. REPENT, BELIEVE, CONFESS, AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOR. END TIMES ARE UPON US. FOR WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE BIRTH PAINS. KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS, NOT LOOKING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. KEEP RUNNING THE GOOD RACE AND FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT AMEN.

  8. No surprise here… Hamas has been testing the Israeli defence systems for years, probing and learning from the UA, RU special operation how to overwhelm defence systems… The US and ISR knew this was coming, a preemptive strike by the ISR would have been condemned by the world, now it’s fair game…

  9. Brennan is a war pig is a war pig a war pig he looks like a war pig and that's because he is a war pig.

  10. Brennan knows plenty about false intelligence.

  11. Prayers for Israel and our country

  12. It’s worth remembering that America gets nothing from its alliance with Israel.
    The extreme right wing government of Netanyahu in Israel does not make America any more secure, they do not contribute anything significant or meaningful to americas security. In reality Israel’s apartheid policies have failed. Netanyahu is corrupt and he has failed. He has the blood of Israelis on his hands.
    With time everyone knows that Israel will prevail but this will happen again and again and again in the years to come. In this case Mossad the much vaunted Israeli secret service failed. Israel was taken completely by surprise and this abject failure has directly contributed to the deaths of at least 300 Israelis and in the coming day it is reasonable to expect that at least 3,000 Palestinians will die.
    There is absolutely no benefit for America in supporting Israel.

  13. I'm sure the intelligent people were doing their best.

  14. I don't think it's just an intelligence failure. I also think the Israelis got lulled into a false sense of security when their Iron Dome was shooting down most of the Hamas or Hezbollah rockets. It's like the Israeli military was focused on the skies, but weren't looking ground level at guys on the ground cutting through or bulldozing the border fence.

  15. USA was oblivious, too busy focused on getting Donald Trump.

  16. USA 100% knew Hamas would attack Israel. It was not an "intelligence failure" at all

  17. They were busy tracking pronouns 😂😂

  18. So, intelligence can't track this, but they still want mass surveillance? I think they won't find anything with that either.

  19. Who cares what Brennan has to say

  20. Israel was politically split internally very much like America while its being quickly and quietly by media, invaded

  21. 😂 overhyped iron dome is easy overhelmed by very cheap grad mlrs.

  22. Netanyahu needs to be booted from office. Big mouth Bibi claims that he alone can secure Israel. What a joke. The man has been trying to undermine Israel's democracy and now he alone can take the blame for the attack on Israel. This evil and incompetent man needs to go.

  23. Hamas should hire Taliban instructors and learn from the best.

  24. The American government cares not the American people they do whatever they want

  25. Complete bs, no way they werent completely on alert with the holiday and the apparent 50th anniversary of the 1973 war. Which could only mean…

  26. This is a war being perpetuated by those that will lose nothing, the people that sit comfortably in safely guarded walls while ordering others to their death. The real Palestinians and Isrealis that are just like you and I, struggling to buy food, hoping for better opportunities, praying for our children's safety – the people with the least amount of power will be the most brutally affected. When we would say "peace in the middle east", we werent doing so flippantly. For the love of the earth, humanity, and all that is sacred, please! Let there be PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!!

  27. No one is invincible including us. Kind of strange that they supposed to have the best intelligence and spies. Tragic for all involved.

  28. Will all the billions we spend on our military & theirs, we were in the dark. Shocking 🙄 It’s all wasted.

  29. Like i told allffiya blackwood today i will bit be ger man ger friend anything of sorts i dont and will not bow down to your ignorantce

  30. Why does Hamas do this? Israel will exact horrible revenge on the Palestinians and they gain nothing but blood. Fools.
