I cannot stress this enough: if you acknowledge (as you now must) that the Biden-Harris administration is actively spying on Israel, if you believe that it is doing so continuously and broadly (with high-resolution imaging satellites and wiretaps, and immediately producing analysis, like it did this week), and if you believe that this is a longstanding practice across all U.S. administrations, then you necessarily must conclude that the U.S. was doing so on (and immediately prior to) 10/7 in Gaza, and on 10/7 in southern Israel — and you must acknowledge that it has said nothing about what it did or did not do with the information it collected and analyzed.
If your position is, “they’re always tapping everyone’s phones, NBD,” then your position also has to be “and they heard Israeli civilians, first responders, and military personnel across the Gaza border screaming for their lives and fighting for their lives on 10/7, and did nothing.”
I am sorry, but you need to face reality. If today’s intelligence leak is actually not a revelation about something new that the current administration is doing, then the U.S. had the intelligence needed to help Israel stop the 10/7 attacks either immediately before the attacks began or immediately after the attacks began — and just didn’t.
Pick your poison.
