Who Was Really Behind The Jerusalem Attack?

Confusion persists over who was really behind the attack on the Jerusalem seminary which left eight Israelis dead.

Although Reuters has quoted an anonymous source as saying Hamas was responsible for the attack, the organization itself has yet to officially declare responsibility.

Hours after the anonymous source was quoted by Reuters however, a spokesman for Hamas's armed wing in Gaza, Abu Ubaida, told Al-Jazeera television the attack was "an honour we have not claimed yet".

 

Speculation Is That It Was Another Covert Operation

The confusion has led to speculation in some quarters that the attack was an Israeli covert false flag operation.

Israel has yet to explicitly name Hamas as being responsible for the attack. Although it has cited the group’s praise of it as proof that it was "not only the enemy of Israel but of all of humanity".

Hizbollah's satellite television station Al-Manar reported that a previously unknown group called the Martyrs of Imad Mughniyeh was responsible for the yeshiva atrocity. But the claim has not yet been verified and it is still not clear that the group even exists.
 

World Didn't Care About Israeli Massacre

The attack came a week after Israeli incursions into Gaza left 120 Palestinians dead, many of whom were civilians, including children, and a toddler, too.

The Israeli operations in Gaza generated a groundswell of opinion against the Zionist state in the West. Leading to speculation that Israel was behind the seminary attack in an effort to redeem itself and again cast Israel as the victim of terror rather the its perpetrator.

How Did The Supposed Assassin Get In There?

Thursday's killings were carried out by by a ‘lone gunman’ armed with a pistol and a Kalashnikov AK47 and he had planned his attack with considerable attention to detail. He clearly knew where most of the yeshiva students would be congregated, and probably that a large number had gathered for celebrations on the eve of the Jewish festival of Purim.

He also somehow managed to evade the tight security surrounding the West Bank and infiltrate the Jerusalem seminary, with some reports suggesting that he did so dressed as a yeshiva student.

Arabs Portrayed As Jubilant Monsters

Either way the attack has provoked a strong response on both sides.
In the aftermath of the killings a Hamas message –"this is God's vengeance" – was transmitted over loudspeakers in the Gaza, presumably referring to the Israeli offensive in Gaza which ended on Monday,

While Avi Dichter, the Israeli Interior Minister, told mourners at Friday's funerals that Arabs in East Jerusalem should be expelled to the West Bank if found to be involved in militant activity.

Was Israel's Shin Bet Involved?

Nonetheless, the idea that Israel may have been behind Thursday’s attack is not so absurd. After all the Zionist state has a history of launching false flag attacks on friend and foe alike.

Israeli covert operatives have frequently masqueraded as Palestinians and Israeli military commanders have openly admitted that units impersonating terrorists are a key asset in the West Bank

Mossad Connected To So Many Attacks

A damning list of supposed “terrorist” atrocities have been linked to Israel and its Intelligence service Mossad: whose motto by the way is “By way of deception thou shalt wage war”.
 

A History Of False Flags

Included on this list are 9/11 and Mossad’s involvement in the September 11 outrage. The attack on the USS Liberty and Mossad’s involvement in staging “Palestinian” terror attacks.

All of which should tell us that any terror attack on Israel or its citizens should be viewed with the utmost scepticism and caution.

Who Benefits?

All of which should tell us that any terror attack on Israel or its citizens should be viewed with the utmost skepticism and caution.

So ultimately the real beneficiary of Thursday’s attacks may be Israel itself. As the Zionist state seeks to restore its image as the beleaguered victim of terror rather than its covert sponsor and perpetrator.
