“We Were ORDERED To Stand Down On October 7th!” -Says IDF Soldier

from The Jimmy Dore Show · host Wase History Club

A former Israeli soldier testified that on October 7th 2023, the day of the Hamas attacks, troops were unexpectedly ordered to cancel all border patrols and stand down between 5:20 and 9:00 a.m., despite Gaza being one of the most heavily surveilled areas in the world. this strange directive raised serious doubts, especially since the attack began just over an hour later, and the official explanation about a sniper threat didn’t add up for soldiers stationed close to the fence.  Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger present a broader theory that Israeli leadership, including Netanyahu, intentionally empowered Hamas over more moderate Palestinian factions to justify military action and territorial expansion. The soldier, now injured and reflecting on the events, expressed confusion, betrayal, and a desire for the truth, believing that the attacks were used as a political pretext at great human cost. Plus segments on Democratic Senator and former intelligence operative Elissa Slotkin pushing the BS lie to Stephen Colbert that the CIA are just regular patriotic folks doing their best to help keep Americans safe and Donald Trump denying disaster relief to any state or city that boycotts Israel. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
