You may call me a paranoid, anti-Semitic, deranged mental midget, but I cannot help thinking we are in for another 911-style false flag attack very soon. ... Is anybody else connecting the same dots?

You’re probably wrong on this occasion... but the world is doomed
through religion and greed.

Israel is good at what is does only in the region, at the global level the few places it operates it is nothing special. And they have been wrong as often as right. Missing the fact they were about to invaded during the Yom Kippur war despite being warned by Jordan the Mossad claimed war was not an option for the Arabs, the complete misread of the geo-political state of the world including the US during the Suez Crisis, completely wrong about Hezbollah's strength and locations during the last war in Lebanon, no idea about the tunnel system in Gaza during the last conflict and so it goes. They have about the same record as everybody else.

Were they "just wrong" or "intentionally wrong"? I am pretty sure all these mistakes were rather convenient to justify their proactive actions.

Yom Kippur nearly cost them the country, the misread of the US during Suez nearly cost them US aid, screw ups in Lebanon not only cost more Israeli lives but tarnish the invincible reputation they covet for both the military and intelligence community. The Mossads reputation is far greater than its abilities and they like it that way. Just as the CIA is thought to in control of every event on earth, something they use toward their advantage. Israeli intelligence suffers from that same problems others do, the enemy always adapts.
