Surely many have heard about the conspiracy theory sweeping across the Earth that goes like this:

Of course Mossad, the greatest intelligence service on Earth, was not duped and that Israel used the attack as a pretext to now level Gaza in the ultimate final solution: a parking lot. In this speculative scenario, if there was a miscalculation, it was the extent of damage that Hamas could inflict in a matter of hours. What do you say to those who wonder whether a cold calculation was made that an initial horrendous incursion of evil could permit/ justify the complete assault and destruction of Hamas forever? Is there an absolute zero chance of such a play?

Anyone who believes that probably believes that the Earth is flat and that the Easter Bunny is real. Apparently, Hamas used old-school communications (runners, paper etc) and avoided the electronic surveillance carried out by the Israelis. Egypt appear to have had some knowledge of the impending attack. But no, Israel did not 'allow' this to happen.
