Look what Haaretz is reporting: Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope Haaretz reports about massive short-selling of Israeli shares in the days before October 7, indicating that “somebody seemingly knew [of the attack] in advance and made billions betting against Israeli shares
Not only did "somebody" (actually a lot of bodies) have apparent prior knowledge of the attack they also apparently knew the attack would be successful. After all, a failed incursion across the border resulting in a few Hamas deaths (and without the subsequent massive Israeli response in Gaza) would not have had a great impact on the Israeli economy or on Israeli stocks. So how does that extent of prior knowledge narrow down the field of suspects? It would certainly be illuminating to know who was making those trades on behalf of whom.
George Soros......and people like him who are really well connected and with the capital to move markets. Betting on chaos is how he/they make their money, lots of it.
OMG "short-selling"! Really, how to you sell something that you don't own? Securities trading is so gosh darn complicated, I mean every detail of the money and who/when bought/sold is digital, then add in all the Know Your Customer stuff and grillions of other Financial Rules & Regulations of securities trading and it's going to be awfully hard for anyone to ever figure what happened when. "What difference, at this point, does it make?" ~HRC
Exactly. We now have someone on the Supreme Court who wouldn't define a woman as an adult human female. Who would have believed that was possible just a few years ago.
While the question remains valid, it might well be that the 'killing' has been exaggerated by 100 times.

My bet is on Ken Griffin on behalf of Harvard's endowment fund.

Blackrock? Soros? The Bidens? The possibilities are endless. The Hamas attack seemed to be an open secret, so no surprises there.-

And a non paywall good explanation from the Economist:

There were lots of warnings of the attacks, but it seems due to hubris at a minimum, they were ignored.
It may have only been one trader.
Great links--thanks!
Interesting article from Thierry Meyssan...
What lies behind Benjamin Netanyahu’s lies and Hamas’s evasions

Eyebrow-raising article, to say the least…
Meyssan seems totally "out there" on this one. However, in these crazy times anything is possible.

I won't go into all the points, but the first one--tunnel building--is one that has long puzzled me.
So "Israel's 9/11" wasn't just hyperbole... Big club parasite class, nationality/group is unimportant. Know the enemy.
