Last week Hamas increased rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza and the Israeli airforce retaliated massively.<\/p>\n
Why?\u00a0 It might be one of those random events that Taleb write about in The Black Swan or it might be a Machiavellian attempts to solve one of the real threats to world peace.\u00a0 I have a theory on the latter and I wanted to put it in writing so you can check and see if I was right later on.<\/p>\n
My theory is that Israel is attacking Hamas with the tacit approval of the USA and others.\u00a0 They are trying to get Syria and Iran to overtly attempt to help Hamas.\u00a0 If they do help and get caught then the West and Israel will have an excuse to retaliate.\u00a0 And in the process of retaliating they can take out Iran’s nuclear facilities.\u00a0 If Syria and Iran don’t attempt to come to Hamas’s aid, it is likely that Hamas will be decimated.\u00a0 It seems like a win-win for Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
