• By Philip Giraldi and Prof Michel ChossudovskyFirst published on October 7, 2023 at the outset of Israel's act of genocide against Palestine. Revised in April 2024.
There is an ongoing propaganda campaign which categorically denies the existence of a false flag, the objective of which is to justify the genocide against the People of Palestine.
The evidence is overwhelming.

Introduction
Was It a False Flag?
Military operations are invariably planned well in advance. Was "Operation Al-Aqsa Storm" a "surprise attack"? Or was it "a False Flag"?
In the words of Philip Giraldi:
"As a former intelligence officer, I find it impossible to believe that Israel did not have multiple informants inside Gaza as well as electronic listening devices all along the border wall which would have picked up movements of groups and vehicles.
In other words, the whole thing might be a tissue of lies as is often the case."
A Tissue of Lies
"A Tissue of Lies" has served to justify the killing in the Gaza Strip of more than 35,000 civilians, of which 70% are women and children coupled with total destruction and an endless string of atrocities.
The cat is out of the bag. Netanyahu has tacitly acknowledged that it was "A False Flag" which was intent upon justifying a carefully planned genocidal attack against Palestine:
"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas," he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party's Knesset members in March 2019. "This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank." (Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)
