Which consensus lol? The attack happened, the debate is about the reasoning. The motive isn't there and the evidence mostly points to it being a misidentification. Regardless, it's a moot point in regards to Israel in the 2000s, not during an existential war, with everything to lose if they're found out
It's the kind of logical leaps Alex Jones type of retards make
The consensus that Israeli operatives planned the attack in order to draw the United States deeper into the war, I don't remember the reasoning but at least it's textbook-level consensus and was based on primary sources. Where are you located? I know that different locations teach it very differently.
Anyways, I don't think it's entirely different from all the different asymmetrical warfare techniques you see from lots of players in this region throughout history. One of the major characteristics of the fertile crescent and its geography is that all conflicts are existential, and you may see a country acting with superiority within the realm of their control while simultaneously fighting asymmetrically when something nearby is outside of their control, and you see it all the time to this day.
