Summary
Efrat Fenigson is an independent Journalist, Podcaster, Israeli Citizen & Covid dissident. In the wake of the October 7th terrorist attacks on Israel, she has provided insight into the situation from inside Israel on X (Twitter). Bret and Efrat discuss the current state of affairs and the situation unfolding as we speak.
Due to the timely nature of this episode, it is important to note that this was filmed at 8PM Israel time on October 10, 2023, and released several hours later.
It is also of note that at the end of this recording, Efrat hears the sounds of rockets going off nearby. However there was also construction noise near Bret during the entire duration of the episode, not to be confused with sounds of war.
Note: Hamas was founded in 1987, not 1967 as was inadvertently stated.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast. I cannot say that I have the great pleasure |
| 0:10.3 | of sitting with the Fraud Fenningson this morning because it is under rather terrible circumstances, |
| 0:16.6 | but I am honored to be speaking with her. She is an independent journalist in Israel and |
| 0:26.6 | as I was watching events unfold in the aftermath of the attacks on October 7th, I spotted her evaluation |
| 0:35.8 | of the events and my blood ran cold because suspicions that I could not quite shake that something |
| 0:42.8 | about this story couldn't possibly be what had appeared were reflected very clearly in |
| 0:48.2 | her analysis. And what's more, she has a special position from which to evaluate the |
| 0:55.8 | conflict, having not only served in the IDF but served on the Gaza border. So she is in possession |
| 1:03.5 | of knowledge about how things normally function there and therefore her sense that something was |
| 1:09.8 | quite wrong on the morning of October 7th struck me as an important piece of information for the |
| 1:17.2 | world to understand. So welcome, Efra. Thank you for having me, Brett. It's an honor. I'm truly |
| 1:26.6 | glad to be talking with you. I should also tell our audience that I have just discovered that we |
| 1:32.1 | have actually met already, which I am embarrassed to say that I did not remember, but you and I met at |
| 1:37.8 | a conference in Bath, England that was put on to gather COVID dissidents. And so it turns out |
| 1:49.0 | that we have a number of different threads that we are seeing in common and perhaps you will get |
| 1:55.8 | to that COVID thread later in the discussion. But let us start by having you realize my audience |
| 2:05.5 | isn't inherently American, but most of them are not expert in the situation in the Middle East |
| 2:14.6 | surrounding the tensions between Israel and its neighbors and could probably use a lot of basic |
| 2:22.1 | information on who the players even are and how they end up in the situation they end up in |
| 2:27.4 | before we get to the attacks that occurred on the 7th. So can you just tell us what Gaza is, |
| 2:34.5 | what Hamas is, and what relationship that has to the state of Israel? |
| 2:41.1 | I will try. Thank you. I'll do my best. As I said to you before we started recording as a |
