October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear | A New Picture is Emerging About the Events of 10/7

October 7th: The Fog Begins to Clear | A New Picture is Emerging About the Events of 10/7

Author: Alexander Sachon December 15, 2023 Duration: 58:40

In this episode, I revisit the events of the October 7th attack on Israel. The goal is to move beyond certain oversimplifications and mischaracterizations of the event that have become prominent. There is a lot more here than what first meets the eye.

The article can be read on my Substack: thewisdomtradition.substack.com

Sections:
1. Others Were Involved with the 10/7 Attacks Besides Hamas
2. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Uneasy Allies
3. The Strategic Objectives Behind Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
4. The IDF’s Counter-Response Killed Many Israeli Citizens
5. Israeli Intelligence had Foreknowledge of the Attack

This article is the first in a series. Stay tuned for the rest.

I should point out that in this article I revise some of my initial conceptions of the 10/7 attack, which I discussed in earlier episodes from late October.
