conspiracy theory idiocy of the highest order.
yeah of course it is the Egyptians were onlyguessing and made it up that an attack was imminent within days
I'm struggling to see what Israel has that Saudi Arabia doesn't already have?
Sounds like one of those motto's you'd keep on a desk.
This would assume Netanyahu is complicit in it. Seems unlikely, as he will take ultimate responsibility for the failure of intelligence, and it's likely to be the end of his political career.
Thatcher managed to avoid responsibility for the Falklands intel failure, don't count Benji out.
Science and technology are Israel's most developed sectors.
Science and technology in Israel - Wikipedia
Science and technology in Israel is one of the country's most developed sectors. Israel spent 4.3% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on civil research and development in 2015, the highest ratio in the world.[1] In 2019, Israel was ranked the world's fifth most innovative country by the Bloomberg Innovation Index.[2] It ranks thirteenth in the world for scientific output as measured by the number of scientific publications per million citizens.[3] In 2014, Israel's share of scientific articles published worldwide (0.9%) was nine times higher than its share of the global population (0.1%).[4][1]
Israel counts 140 scientists and technicians per 10,000 employees, one of the highest ratios in the world. In comparison, there are 85 per 10,000 in the United States and 83 per 10,000 in Japan.[5] In 2012, Israel counted 8,337 full-time equivalent researchers per million inhabitants.[1] This compares with 3,984 in the US, 6,533 in the Republic of South Korea and 5,195 in Japan. Israel's high technology industry has benefited from both the country's highly educated and technologically skilled workforce coupled with the strong presence of foreign high-tech firms and sophisticated research centres.[6][1]
Israel is home to major companies in the high-tech industry and has one of the world's most technologically literate populations.[7] In 1998, Tel Aviv was named by Newsweek as one of the ten most technologically influential cities in the world.[8] Since 2000, Israel has been a member of EUREKA, the pan-European research and development funding and coordination organization, and held the rotating chairmanship of the organization for 2010–2011.[9][10] In 2010, American journalist David Kaufman wrote that the high-tech area of Yokneam, Israel, has the "world's largest concentration of aesthetics-technology companies".[11] Google Chairman Eric Schmidt complimented the country during a visit there, saying that “Israel has the most important high-tech center in the world after the US.”[12] Israel was ranked 16th in the Global Innovation Index in 2022, down from 10th in 2019.[13][14]
So it's fair to say that as a country they've come a long way and at a very fast rate. There's a lot more to their economy than Jaffa oranges.
Saudi are trying to play catch up, their economy has for obvious reasons been centred around the export of oil, they make a lot of money from that and can afford to buy stuff in, but they recognise that won't last forever and they desperately need to diversify their economy and high tech industry & manufacturing is clearly the way forward for them.
Which Middle East country would it be most beneficial to partner up or align itself with, it might be Israel. Which Middle East country has Saudi never particularly rubbed along well with, it might be Iran.
Governments do ignore the intelligence when it wants to start a war without appearing as the aggressor.

What better excuse for such genocidal action against Palestinians than 1000+ Israelis killed.
As UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, "the Hamas incursion did not occur in a vacuum".
Israel should have expected it, or something lik it. They took their eye off the ball. Was it intentional?
As to Netanyahu's career, it's over anyway, he's on trial for criminal charges when this is all over.
Maybe that's his personal gain from all this, perhaps some kind of delay from those criminal charges, or even some kind of heroism for his genocidal action against Palestinians.
Saudi Arabia, et al, have been buying in expertise for decades.
And western countries are content to sell it to them.
Evidently, DiyNutJob has little understanding of racism.

It is beyond dispute that racism includes religion, (any religion) as an identifiable group.
To suggest that Muslims and/or Arabs are untrustworty is undoubtedly blatant racism.
Having just perused the EU definition of racism, there are aome obvious causes for concern in a) the current Israeli genocidal action against the Palestinians and b) the EU current stance on the issue.
It becomes a matter of debate to what extent others are "trivialising crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes" with the perpetual claim that Israel have a right to defend themselves.
Yes, of course they do. But the current onslaught of Gaza and the Palestinians goes way beyond any notion of self-defence.
It's not really a matter of debate whether Israel is committing war crimes and crimes aganst humanity.

Conspiracist nonsense
Hamas terrorism is continuous, it was only a matter of time before one got through the net.
You certainly are, you refuse to acknowledge Hamas are terrorists.
although considering you think Gaza industrial estate is in Israel, maybe its just a lack of understanding
