In short, and beyond the convoluted, disingenuous narratives peddled by the "experts of creative anarchy", let me tell you the truth about the October 7th attack (Al-Aqsa Flood  طوفان الاقصى), grounded in facts they don’t want you to know:

Israel had prior knowledge of the Al-Aqsa Flood (October 7th) plan. It received 57 advance warnings from various sources (American, Egyptian, and border surveillance) before the attack. Yet, it allowed the operation to proceed to serve as a pretext for its grander scheme. The Israeli giant bent down to take a slap from the Palestinian underdog, all to justify its plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank, laying the foundation for a "Greater Israel" (from the Euphrates to the Nile).

But the Palestinian plan failed militarily, and the Israeli plan failed politically due to the war’s prolonged duration. The Palestinian planners expected the Al-Aqsa Flood to last weeks (as in past conflicts), while the Israeli planners assumed their brutal war would force Palestinians to flee south, then into Sinai, ending with the world forgetting, as it always had.

Yet the war dragged on for two years, a scenario neither Palestinians, Israelis, nor Zionists worldwide anticipated. This prolonged conflict wasn’t due to resistance factions (who couldn’t defend even civilians), but rather Arab political unity and their refusal to bow to Israeli/Western threats and bribes (led by the U.S.) to open borders and allow Palestinian displacement into Sinai and Jordan.

Arab leaders, especially Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, rejected these offers and threats despite Egypt’s economic struggles. From the war’s earliest weeks, they refused to comply with Israeli demands for mass expulsion. As a result: The war dragged on, Israel flagrantly violated international law in full global view, Western hypocrisy and double standards were exposed, the mask of liberal Zionism fell, turning global public opinion against Israel. Western populations began pressuring governments to stop funding Zionist brutality. None of this would’ve happened without Arab leaders’ steadfast unity and their refusal to enable ethnic cleansing.

What the "creative anarchy experts" and Al-Aqsa Flood advocates don’t want you to know is this: Egyptian president’s (El-Sisi) defiance mirrors Sultan Abdul Hamid II’s historic refusal to sell Palestine to pay Ottoman debts.

Yet these same "experts" resort to acrobatic analyses, trying to legitimize Hamas’s failures while undermining Arab leaders, who (so far) have turned the Al-Aqsa Flood’s losses into strategic gains for Palestine’s oppressed. One question remains: Do these political gains justify Gaza and the West Bank’s suffering? Absolutely not. For the vulnerable, migration remains a religious, legal and moral option.

It is worth noting that many observers believe the "Al-Aqsa Flood" attack was an Israeli plan carried out by unwitting and infiltrated Palestinian groups (similar to 9/11). The Israeli scheme aimed to:

1. Create a bitter Israeli reality reminiscent of the Holocaust—temporarily justifying genocide and mass displacement.
2. Unify the Israeli front after 9 months of protests that threatened civil war between religious and secular factions.
3. Justify the full, brutal occupation of Palestinian territories through extreme violence.
4. Pave the way for the "Greater Israel" project (from the Euphrates to the Nile).

Before October 7, Israel was on the verge of:

1. Reconsidering and reforming extremist Zionist ideology.
2. Promoting coexistence with Palestinians and upholding their dignity.

Now, let’s analyze key points from the podcast ("Al-Aqsa Flood: Between the Myth of the Beginning and the Outcomes of the End" – Dr. Osama Al-Ashqar), a "creative anarchy expert" and supporter of the Al-Aqsa Flood.

At 11:44 minute mark, Dr. Osama stated:

"Two years after the Flood (October 7th), the strategic approaches to dealing with it - whether by Palestinian, Arab, Islamic, regional, or international forces - remain reactive rather than a serious attempt to adapt to this seismic event, harness its currents, leverage it for the Palestinian cause, or cope with its repercussions. Thus, the severe intellectual paralysis plaguing our nation - the one most affected by this Flood - is laid bare. The pressing question: Did the Flood expose the weaknesses of our nation as much as it revealed the enemy’s flaws?"

I say in response:

Where is Al-Aqsa after the Al-Aqsa Flood?!

Your cold, reactionary approach to this catastrophe reeks of stubborn denial rather than genuine analysis or constructive engagement, whether on the Palestinian, Islamic, or Arab level. Your shallow treatment of this disaster exposes your profound intellectual failure to grasp its dimensions. Yes! The Al-Aqsa Flood catastrophe exposed:

1. The racism of the Zionist character.
2. The hypocrisy of liberal democracies.
3. The suicidal recklessness of armed Palestinian resistance.
4. Yet also, the collective wisdom of Arab leaders.

You’ve been blinded by 'creative anarchy,' Dr. Osama!

After discussing the Palestinian Authority's monumental failure and the Oslo Accords, and where the settlement negotiations ultimately led, Dr. Osama stated at the 32:00 minute mark:

The strategic planner of Al-Aqsa Flood fully anticipated the inevitable degradation of the Arab political environment - one that would offer us nothing but politicized humanitarian aid of no real value. This degenerate environment treats the Palestinian cause as an internal problem, completely severing its trajectory from Arab relations with Israel. All Arab states have now established relations with Israel in one form or another, with some having moved beyond normalization to considering Israel part of the Arab fabric. This reality, combined with the hostile international environment, has cost us our strategic depth, leaving us adrift without horizon or future. The result has been the dissolution of the Palestinian cause and the exhaustion of all options.

Hence came the decision for the Flood, aimed at changing the strategic environment around us through an extraordinary event that shatters the prevailing military concept of Israel's invincibility and the futility of resistance. Proving Israel's vulnerability became imperative, and this was achieved on the Flood's first day deep inside Israeli territory, bypassing all fortifications, technologies and early warning systems, where advancing to Tel Aviv was possible!

We must uncover the secrets and mysteries of those first hours. The events proved that a movement (not a state) could defeat Israel from underground (through tunnels) despite all their surveillance capabilities!

I say in response:

Truthfully spoke he who said: "She shot me with her own ailment and slipped away!" The truth is that strategic planners in Arab states recognized the degradation, absurdity and esoteric nature of the political environment driving Palestinian armed movements, which have brought Palestinians nothing but division and foreign agendas (Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian) hostile to the Arab and Islamic (Sunni) nation. Your absurd environment treats the Palestinian cause - as your leaders have stated - "as mere toothpicks for dental hygiene, as part of a larger project" tied to the international Muslim Brotherhood project and Shia Velayat-e Faqih project, no different than Zionists and their "Greater Israel" project. Your partisan absurdity reaches such heights that you apply double standards, blessing Moroccan (Brotherhood-affiliated) normalization with Israel while condemning Emirati normalization! This disgraceful duplicity, along with your violations of international law, is what cost you your strategic depth Islamically, Arably and internationally. It is your absurd and esoteric projects that severed Arab nations from your reckless path. The degradation, absurdity and esoteric nature of the political environment driving Palestinian armed movements (blessed by Netanyahu) is what caused the schism and dissolution of the pure Palestinian resistance fabric. You've been blinded by "partisanship," Dr. Osama!

Truthfully spoke he who said: "If you feel no shame, then do as you please!" The truth is your squinted military analysis of the Flood (October 7^th) decision gives catastrophic "creative anarchy" new meaning, pouring it onto Palestinian suffering in Gaza and the West Bank, turning their days into nights. Do you dare speak to Gazans and West Bankers about victory on "the Flood's first day"?! Do you dare tell them about potentially occupying Tel Aviv?! Wake up Dr. Osama, you've been in a coma since the second day's shock, with children's limbs flying and their skulls crushed under rubble within earshot of your helpless resistance! Sleep on Dr. Osama, for "creative anarchy" has blinded you!

Allah said: "For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts within breasts" (Quran, Al-Hajj 46). Here are the secrets and mysteries of the Flood's first hours - many observers believe the "Al-Aqsa Flood" attack was an Israeli plan executed by unwitting, infiltrated Palestinian groups (similar to 9/11), aiming to:

1. Create a bitter Israeli reality reminiscent of the Holocaust, unifying domestic fronts after 9 months of protests threatening civil war between religious and secular Israelis.
2. Provide temporary justification for genocide and displacement.
3. Justify complete occupation of Palestinian territories through brutal violence.
4. Pave the way for the "Greater Israel" project (from Euphrates to Nile).
5. Silence Israeli voices calling for reconsideration of extremist Zionist ideology and promoting coexistence with Palestinians and equality between Palestinian and Israeli aspirations.

 

Then Dr. Osama declares at 45:30 minute mark, saying:

Israeli society has been suffering from fragmentation and erosion since its inception, due to the conflict between secular and religious groups. However, a series of policies and economic/security achievements succeeded in slowing this internal erosion and division. But Al-Aqsa Flood exposed this latent fragility, revealing the truth about Israeli society and its political system, which is now suffering from intense internal conflict developing rapidly and destroying the social structure from within. Were it not for the current battle, this sabotage would have spread more widely. The Flood sought to change the second strategic environment by highlighting this fragility in the Israeli entity.

I say in response:

How difficult it is to explain the obvious! To the contrary, were it not for Al-Aqsa Flood (October 7^th), the protests threatening civil war in Israel between religious and secular groups would have continued. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that the Flood (October 7^th) unified the Israeli front and silenced Israeli voices calling for reconsideration of extremist Zionist ideology and reform, and promoting coexistence with Palestinians and equality between Palestinian and Israeli aspirations. You've been blinded by "partisanship," Dr. Osama!

Dr. Osama continues saying:

On the economic front, Israel relies heavily on external support. Hence, the Flood (October 7^th) attempted to change the third strategic environment by questioning the feasibility of international aid to Israel, aiming to push Western societies - representing the economic lifeline of the Zionist entity - to reconsider their financial support for economic and moral reasons, which would ultimately suffocate this immoral state.

I say in response:

May Allah have mercy on credibility! As we mentioned, the Palestinian plan expected Al-Aqsa Flood to last limited weeks - as in the case of previous wars - and didn't anticipate the war extending for years. Like previous short battles, had the Al-Aqsa Flood ended within weeks, it wouldn't have caused Western societies to question the feasibility of international aid to Israel - previous short wars, despite their brutality, didn't lead to awakening those societies. In truth, what awakened Western societies was the continuation of this bloody war for two years. Therefore, credit goes to the unified Arab policy rejecting - from the first weeks - the demands of Israel, Western Christendom and global Zionism to open crossings between Israel and Egypt for “temporary transfer” (or permanent displacement) of Palestinians to Sinai. So how dare you, Dr. Osama, attribute to the Al-Aqsa Flood's planners - like the Zionists - credit they don't deserve?! You've been blinded by "partisanship," Dr. Osama!

And Dr. Osama adds at 55:00 minute mark, saying:

Did the planner of Al-Aqsa Flood anticipate the current tragedy? There are two answers - no third option:

1. Either he was aware of the disastrous outcomes, which makes him a reckless, adventurous, and foolish planner.
2. Or he was unaware, meaning he was an ignorant planner, unworthy of such a grand project, and he has plunged the Palestinians into a massive predicament.

So, why did the strategic planner fail despite his intelligence?

Those behind it will tell you the question itself is wrong! Because the only alternative was to do nothing - a pointless question in strategic terms. They had to (take the risk and) proceed with the major event, relying on regional military intervention to mitigate Israel’s retaliation. But the level of degradation in the Arab world exceeded all the planners’ expectations.

I say in response:

How easy it is to talk in air-conditioned studios! You tell the Palestinians: "We are smart! But we had to commit some reckless, adventurous, and foolish act without consulting you, dragging you into a massive crisis, assuming the Arabs would intervene and soften the brutality of the occupation, only for the Arab world’s degradation to surpass all our expectations!"

Do you dare - O Doctor - to look into the eyes of Gaza and the West Bank’s children? The eyes of women, the wounded, the bereaved, the widows, the displaced, the starving, the hopeless, and those whose corpses were not even granted a dignified burial? Can you face them with these words?!

If you dare to speak your bitter justifications, your words will fall like acid on their bleeding wounds, and their response will be one of two things - no third option: either burning you alive, or saying, "A monkey is a gazelle in its mother’s eyes! The truth that surpassed all our expectations is not the Arabs’ betrayal, but the extent of your ignorance, degradation, cowardice, and incompetence in leading our genuine struggle! Before you blame the Arabs and expect the impossible from them, why don’t you dare confront the regional powers who deceived you and then abandoned you as easy prey for the Tatars of this age?! Why don’t you speak of Iran and Hezbollah’s betrayal - those who promised and then broke their vows - instead of the Arabs?!” Fear Allah in dealing with us - O Doctor - speak good or remain silent!

Then Dr. Osama adds, saying:

The degradation of Muslims in the past did not prevent Salahuddin from liberating Jerusalem after 20 years of civil wars during which he united the Ummah (Islamic nation). Today, too, victory can be achieved despite the degradation. Salahuddin was one of the leaders of the Flood.

I say in response:

How easy it is to talk in air-conditioned studios! After you saved Israel from a civil war that would have liberated the region - Palestinians and Israelis alike - from extremists and the overly ambitious, do you now wish upon us Arabs a civil war?! Do you want us to endure your Flood for another 20 years?! Who taught you this?! Fear Allah in dealing with us - O Doctor - speak good or remain silent.

Then Dr. Osama adds, saying:

And Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the leaders of the Flood that eradicated the political apostasy movement - those who refused to pay Zakat. Abu Bakr’s Flood was a political gamble, given his preoccupation with civil wars and opening two fronts against the two greatest empires on the borders of the Islamic state. Had social media existed back then, its knights would have accused him of recklessness and ignorance. But the result was the opposite: he destroyed the Persian Empire within 3 years and expelled the Byzantines from their mother church in less than 5. The Prophet (ﷺ) planted the seed, and Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) watered it. Abu Bakr’s strategic resolve was a new dawn for the Ummah.

I say in response:

How easy it is to talk, O knight of the studios!

1. If jihad is proven to be suicidal, it must be stopped, just as Umar ibn Abdulaziz and the Abbasids halted conquests for strategic reasons. When Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) first proposed naval warfare, Omar ibn al-Khattab  (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I will not endanger the Muslims” not, ‘Let’s gamble like Abu Bakr!’ Had Omar been among us today, he might have rejected the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ plan and told its planner, ‘Do not endanger the defenceless people of Gaza!’ And had the Prophet (ﷺ) been present, he might have repeated his immortal words: “Woe to the one who incites war!”
2. As for Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), he was no gambler when executing Allah’s command! The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the dispatch of Osama’s army on his deathbed, and neither Abu Bakr nor any other Companion would disobey the Messenger (ﷺ). To our knowledge, the Prophet (ﷺ) never commanded an ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’! So, how can you compare the two?
3. Abu Bakr’s gamble lay in the Muslims’ small numbers against their enemies, but it was a calculated risk: a believer advancing toward death for the Hereafter equals two  - or more - warriors fleeing for worldly survival. No one doubts the Palestinian fighter’s spiritual superiority over the Israeli, but modern wars are not won by manpower as in the early Islamic era, but by advanced and smart weaponry. Thus, comparing the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ to Abu Bakr’s mission is absurd!
4. Yes, Abu Bakr’s move was a gamble, just as his allegiance was a ‘slip or lapse’ - but Allah averted its harm. That does not make such slips or lapses precedents to justify catastrophic plans!

 

Then Dr. Osama adds, saying:

In another historical precedent, during the Battle of the Trench غزوة الخندق, the Prophet (ﷺ) attempted to dismantle the Confederate alliance by negotiating with the tribes of Ghatafan and Murra, offering them half of Medina's harvest in exchange for withdrawal. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) agreed with the Prophet but preferred war, so the Prophet (ﷺ) withdrew his opinion and accepted Sa'd's view. At Hudaybiyah, when rumours spread of Othman's (may Allah be pleased with him) murder, the Prophet (ﷺ) gathered the Companions and took their pledge to fight despite their military weakness (they had come without weapons and unprepared for war). If these Companions - the very companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) - were permitted to take such risks, how much more entitled are we, the Brothers whom the Prophet (ﷺ) foretold, to do the same?

I say in response:

How easy it is to talk, O knight of creative anarchy! The vast disparity in military equipment between the Israelis and their allies on one side, and the Palestinians and their allies on the other, far exceeds the gap that existed between the Muslims and the polytheists during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ). Therefore, comparing the Muslims' lack of arms at Hudaybiyah الحديبية to the Palestinians' limited capabilities today - to justify military recklessness - is an unscientific and rash analogy.

Moreover, if you claim "Islamic brotherhood" as justification for such gambles, then you should first follow the example of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Rightly Guided Caliphs (may Allah be pleased with them), who exhausted all peaceful options before resorting to war. By your own logic: if the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) - the best of generations - were permitted to migrate and make peace with the polytheists, then you - who claim guardianship over this brotherhood - should be the first to emigrate from Palestine or reconcile with the Israelis, just as your brothers in the Palestinian Authority have done!

Then Dr. Osama adds, saying:

Israel is losing popularity among nations and youth communities that support the Palestinian cause, including the LGBTQ community, and the Flood's (October 7^th) impact will manifest in the long term.

To the people of Gaza who complain of their suffering and demand not to be burdened beyond their capacity, I say: You are not ordinary people. Allah has afflicted you with the trials of the prophets. You have been in a decades-long battle. So be patient, it does not matter if 10, 20, or 30 thousand of us are captured.

I say in response:

How easy it is to talk in air-conditioned studio halls, O knight of creative anarchy! Do you dare - O esteemed scholar - to look sincerely into the eyes of Gaza and the West Bank's people? The eyes of innocent children and women, the wounded who bleed, the bereaved who have lost their loved ones, the displaced who have no shelter, the starving who survive on scraps of bread, and the hopeless who have lost every glimmer of hope? Can you face those who have been denied even the dignity of a proper burial for their dead?! O Allah, protect us from the extremism of radicals and the overambitious, from the oppressive Zionists and from some of our own who add fuel to the fire.

At 1:39:36 minute mark, Dr. Osama adds, saying:

The Palestinians will never forget the Arab regimes that betrayed this Flood, those who not only failed to stand with it but actively worked to undermine it and everyone who participated in it. Some Arab regimes even sought to empower the Israeli project or opposed the Flood at the expense of the Palestinian people - under the pretext of not being consulted - when, in truth, they never deserved to be consulted in the first place. These regimes intervened neither humanitarianly nor sovereignly to aid the Palestinian cause. On the contrary, Arab states (like Iraq and Syria) are now complicit in plans to displace Palestinians into their own territories."

I say in response:

And did the planners of Al-Aqsa Flood consult the grieving Palestinian people, or did they, too, not deserve consultation?! Hamas has fought four major, bloody, and devastating wars with Israel before the October 7, 2023 attacks: the 22-day 2008 war, the 8-day 2012 war, the 50-day 2014 war, and the 11-day 2021 war. Based on this experience, we can confidently conclude that Hamas expected Al-Aqsa Flood to last only days or weeks. Yet overwhelming evidence indicates that Israeli authorities had prior knowledge of the attack but ignored all warnings. They received 57 advance alerts from various sources (American, Egyptian, and border surveillance) before the attack, as well as two weeks of reports from Israeli civilians in targeted areas about unusual movements and suspicious maneuvers on the Palestinian side of the border. So where is the element of surprise?! Is it conceivable that a state capable of executing ultra-precise operations in Lebanon and Iran - based on pinpoint intelligence - could fail to detect such an exposed attack on its heavily monitored borders?!

Furthermore, the music festival was originally scheduled to end on October 6, 2023. But two days before the event, organizers extended it by one day (October 7) due to logistical issues at the original site, relocating it near Kibbutz Re’im (5 km from Gaza’s border). Israeli intelligence investigations found no evidence that Hamas knew about the festival in advance.

The attack began at 6:29 AM on October 7, targeting fleeing festival-goers. Between 364–411 were killed, and 44 taken hostage. Suspiciously, Israel’s military response was delayed by six hours, allowing the militants free movement. The "Hannibal Directive" was enacted, resulting in large-scale killings of Israelis themselves, systematic destruction of Israeli military installations, and casualties among Palestinian fighters.

These developments lead many observers to confidently believe that the "Al-Aqsa Flood" was an Israeli-planned operation, executed by unwitting and infiltrated Palestinian groups (akin to 9/11), aiming to:

1. Create a new, bitter Israeli reality to unify the nation after 9 months of protests threatening civil war between religious and secular factions.
2. Justify a full, brutal occupation of Palestinian territories.
3. Pave the way for "Greater Israel" (from the Euphrates to the Nile).

And then people like you, Doctor, dare to criticize Arab states for not participating in this grand Israeli scheme!

Dr. Osama: How is Al-Aqsa after Al-Aqsa Flood?!

If I were you, I’d apologize to myself!
