These people are so corrupt.

Thank you so much for the breakdown and all your hard work.

Great update -- but fwiw, I was thrown off by "Today" at the beginning, because it sure wasn't today that the UAE warned Netanyahu about the impending Hamas Oct. 7 attack. Something like "On this day in 2023" would be clearer.

I took it as , today, we found out the UAE warned Bibi of a major Hamas operation 10 days before the Oct 7th attack.

I never doubted that Israel intelligence wasn't caught as far off guard as it seemed, to me a bit like GW Bush downplaying the August 6 PDB briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US." How much they knew of any details or scale may have been way underestimated, but both seemed to see some attack as enabling public support for overwhelming "counter" attacks to achieve long held goals that couldn't be justified by believable false flag operations.

I knew that was what it meant, but it isn’t what it said. As an editor, I know that often writers don’t realize that what they wrote doesn’t mean quite what they think it means — or, more often, it doesn’t mean only what they think it means. And the more diverse one’s audience, the greater the chance of multiple readings.

That's why I appreciated my editor when I was an Aerospace Tech Writer. I still make similar mistakes, just a lot less frequently than I used to.
