    I’ve heard about oil off the coast of Gaza. I’ve heard some stories about a canal.
    My personal theory:

    Saudi Arabia and Israel were just about to normalize relations. Iran didn’t like that, and pushed Hamas to attack in Oct. Meanwhile, there’s some oil depletion stuff happening worldwide except USA and Canada. If the middle east got itself together it could be a global power to rival the US or China. This kind of destabilizing war does a lot to stop that from happening.

    I don’t think it’s any one thing though.

      Interesting thought, though wasn’t it revealed the plan for the attack started a few years ago? That might weaken the normalized relations aspect but it still could be something they saw coming maybe.

        I wasn’t aware, but I don’t think that changes anything.
        The US has plans for an invasion of Canada. Doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen anytime soon
