Disagree.
1. October 7th and aftermath are a surprise. Would you have predicted on October 1, 2023, that on January 1, 2025, Gaza will be filled with destroyed buildings? Plus 50,000 dead bodies?
2. Would you have predicted on October 1, 2024, that Syria will have a 'Glorious Revolution' and Assad will end up in Moscow without spilling a drop of blood?
3. Can you predict if Israel and Saudi Arabia would have normalized relationship by October 1, 2025?
I may not have foresee a Oct 7th but I'd be fool to not admit that I knew Gaza's will launch a offensive to break through the shackles of prisons one way or the other, out of anyone else Americans should be one to stand with Palestinians but they stand with oppressors and that is what my argument is with Americans, I've asked so many Americans from all walks of life, From hard core rednecks to Sissy LGBTQ's gay's, Librarian to Neo-con, Protestant to Ashkenazi, Atheist to secular all gave me the same response.
I asked them one simple question, what If Govt place 2 cop cars outside your house, surround your house with walls, and you are not free to leave or enter the house without their permission, your food/electricity/medicine/entertainment all depends on what is let through by the cops, no one can come visit you without cops harassing them, strip searching and keeping them wait in lines, how long you think you can last in a life like that?
All have similar Answer, we will eventually go out and force ourselves out of that situation and if cops try to use power we will fight and go down fighting, that is exactly what Palestinians in Gaza life look like, to what a American can't stand more than a month they are living for decades while seeing half of their country being taken over bit by bit.
So yes any or almost everyone saw Hamas Attack coming, as for things like Syrian revolution, I mean seriously you don't have to be a Prophet to predict Asshead demise as he slaughter his own people with impunity, his country in ruins and people outside capital hates him, Russia get involved in Ukraine and Arab leaders/radicals attacks Syrian supporters left right and center, it was the matter of time Asshead falls.
Last for KSA normalizing the relationship with Israel is yet to be seen, as I said there is nothing wrong with building diplomatic ties with Israel, I was a supporter of Pakistan building ties with Israel but only if they accept the statehood of Palestinians and treat them like human beings not animals, many Muslims would like to visit a safe Jerusalem and other holy sites, doesn't matter if they are guarded by IDF or UN peacekeeping forces as long as there is peace in the land and people are treated fairly. So for Israel when Gaza is open to the world and hundreds upon hundreds dead people and children bodies will uncover the world will not forget, there is a ICC arrest warrant for Bibi and Galant, while USA is protecting war criminal, what US did has undermined UN/ICC/ICJ credibility for the world, the Champion of Human rights and freedom/Liberty protecting War criminals and threaten judges on behalf of Israel that's pathetic.
In last, I've said it many times and will say it again, USA has done many good things for world and it has created strong independent institutions to protect its own democracy and I admire that, but 80% wars/Genocides are directly/indirectly connected or cause by Americans, and world will take breath of relief when the day comes that evil empire like many others will see it end, and What Israel has done that they have tied their future with America, when they should've been with ME'ern Arabs who are closest to them in ideology/DNA/religion/culture etc those White America who are shouting Long live Israel only wants Israel for Jews so their Messiah can return and kill 2/3rds of them and rest convert, And while it serves a more greater purpose of putting a knife in the heart of Arab land, Israel was/is/will always be used for spying, regime toppling covert operations, with them help of MOSSAD/CIA network they have build a network so strong that they day any Arab leader walk away from the Assignment his fate will not be any different than King Faisal, Gaddafi, Saddam, Asshead, Morsi and the list goes on...
Let me tell you another thing today, you can subjugate Arabs and kill Millions of them but they will be the dominant force in the region for centuries to come, when time are dire and people are weak that gives birth to strong leaders who lead their people against the Oppression and killings, this is no predication its just History repeating itself, yes it may take few decades or even half or a Century for Arabs to realize that they are nothing but pieces of sh!t to Americans and Israeli's will among them rise leaders that will challenge the status que. And America once it will serve its purpose to the Zionists will be discarded like Russia/Britain and many other EU powers.
