Over 80 years after the event, the FBI is withholding at least 350 pages of material on what it did, or did not, do to uncover Japanese espionage ops aimed at the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. They are invoking law enforcement-related "sources & methods" crap. Step 1: appeal. Step 2: litigate.

“Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. …

Settler-Colonial Strategy and an apartheid state:
1) oppress, dehumanize and terrorize the #Palestinians so completely they have no option save violence
2) react to that violence with overwhelming violence, and cutoff all necessities for life
3) forcibly evacuate the entire #Palestinian population
4) send in ground troops
5) create new 'security' borders that enclose Gaza (and perhaps the West Bank)
6) send in the settlers (now armed by the USA) to fortify outposts and establish communities

It's the next stage in the #Nakba: #Zionist #LandGrab that began in 1948!
