While it was premeditated for a long time, "the big screwup" theory, possibly a big screwup encouraged by Iranian contacts who don't have their best interests at heart, has a lot to be said for it. | |

| Oct 10, 2023 at 12:38 | comment | added | Peteris | @jcaron I think they're making the (not that unfounded) assumption that their "target audience" in the Arab countries would consider those killings as morally good, and that they're making a point of "hey, why aren't you doing the same thing as well, stop pretending that you're at peace with Israel and come join us", trying to shame the neighboring countries in re-starting the elimination of Israel. | |
| Oct 10, 2023 at 11:51 | comment | added | jcaron | I have to admit I don't understand how "hey we just killed several hundred people" could encourage other countries to be sympathetic to them, quite the contrary. Of course they could be counting on "Israel is going to be killing us by the thousands in revenge", but that feels more like suicide-by-cop than a valid strategy. | |
