But you can't show me any concrete examples of this.What kind of concrete example do you expect? A post from account which has been deleted a long time ago? Accumulation of posts from different accounts, you want me to track them down? Those in which people "forget" their prior identities, and first post as a male and then as a female?
Same reason the Lavon affair didn't work - they got caught. Duh.Ok, now it looks like you are trolling. Note that you are doing it to a person who patiently works with you through your conspiracy theory, while others just call you a nut.

The people who were there, bombed, and survived, THEY believe it was a false flag attack. Who am I to disagree? You can argue it with them.Those people are in better position than others to give details of the attack. They are NOT in better position than casual observer to offer motivation for the attack, and it's the motivation that we discuss. On the contrary. Getting bombed sucks, especially by an ally, and may lead to all kinds of biases.
Say I'm wrong on this - so what?
You are hung up on this very specific, who gives a shitI can only discuss one item at a time, and time is sparse. I did the one which you used to start this enlightening conversation. I'm not going to check your entire laundry list, quantity is not quality.
It doesn't mean I disagree with everything that you post, but I would suggest that you are more critical of your data.

I have no doubt that the Israeli Mossad pulled off this attack. Many of you readers already know that from July of,1995 to July of 2005 I worked on the biography of a Mossad agent. One of my great achievements in life was getting the book published.
Over the ten years working on the book, I came to admire, respect, and even love the men and women who work at this intelligence agency. They do not have big budgets like the US, Russia, China, etc. This agency is still "flat out" the best intelligence agency on planet earth!!!
The state of Israel does not have capital punishment as a part of its criminal justice system. However, if a very-dangerous terrorist (for example) or some party or parties seriously threatens to destroy the state of Israel, capital punishment can be carried out in an extra-judicial manner.
When I was researching the Mossad, its headcount was roughly 1,200 men and women. Only 12 of these employees had the legendary license to kill that the famous novel and movie secret agent James Bond had. These men and women were organized into 4x 3-person teams known as Kidon teams. Kidon is a Hebrew word that can be translated several different ways including arrowhead, spear, or perhaps Buffalo's head.
The State of Israel is a Democracy governed by rule of law. An extra judicial killing is a very serious matter. It can have devastating domestic and international consequences. Vladimir Putin learned this well when several of his attempted "hits" failed.
A death warrant must be personally signed by both Israeli's Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court (robo signatures are not accepted.) Once this is done, the target is located. A Yarid Team or teams is dispatched. The subject is placed under surveillance. This can last up to several months. By the time this surveillance is complete, the Israelis know the subject just as well as the people who live with this person. They know all the weaknesses in security measures to protect this subject.
The Kidon Team moves in to carry out the death warrant. In the case of the Iranian scientist I have no doubt that the US intelligence apparatus knew of this plan. They helped the Israelis with spy satellites, signal intercepts, and super-advanced computer technology.
The Iranian leadership is shaken right to its core. The frightening thought goes through their minds: "If they can get him, they can get any of us." There is also rage as Iran has been made a fool of in front of its own people and the world.
There will be calls for revenge against Israel and the US. We could spend pages talking about what form the revenge would take. One thing that I have no doubt of is that any revenge would get retaliation from President Trump in the form of a bomber and/or stealth missile attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. The escalation that followed would shut down the transport of Iranian oil to customers all over the world. Iran's economy is weakened by sanctions and the devastation of Covid-19. The loss of oil revenues will lead to an economic collapse. Most people in Iran will hate the US and Israel. I will leave you to reflect on what happens next. It will not be a happy ending.
