This whole episode has pointed out just how much Netanyahu has let down Israel

Posted on 10/12/2023 4:58:59 AM PDT by bigdaddy45

....and how smart Hezbollah is. They are biding their time and won't insert themselves until the time is right.

And it pulled people in. I’m just explaining, not defending.

So you’re a Biden lover?
Do you believe the media has started telling the truth?

The title is a false flag to a vacuous source of info. Worse than Twitter.

I think you put too much responsibility on Netanyahu here.

The bigger story is the pervasive ineptitude and mediocrity in Israel’s entire government. It has become no different than any other typical large, bloated bureaucracy.

He’s sacrificing some civilians to get Gaza back. That’s a bargain in his mindset.

In my experience, there is no way that they did not know that an attack was in the works; maybe they didn't know the details or full scale, but they knew something was coming. I think strategically this is a smart move and will ultimately save far more lives than were lost and also be a long term solution that will prevent this from happening on a recurring basis.

Actually no I don’t remember worship of Bush.

As far as deflecting against Dems, I’m sure there that appearance. But otherwise, no, I’ve never seen anything close to the adulation this very flawed man gets from a segment. (And they have to understand it’s only a segment, not an entire population.)

I think the Israelis knew this would happen, conferred with the Arab states that signed the Abraham Accords, etc. with, got word that, yes, the Arab states don’t give a s*** about Hamas and prefer it gone.

Getting this okay, Israel allowed the attack to happen and intend on driving the Gaza peeps into the sea or into Sinai. If the West Bank mobilizes, they’ll clear them out to Jordan and possibly deal with Hezbollah as well.

Then the target (which the Arab states want eliminated) will be the Shia leadership of Iran, the prime financier of Hamas.

If that’s a quote, it’s unattributed and entirely out of context. When was it said? Who was the audience? Where is the rest of the quote?

“How did he let Israel down?”

He didn’t. It’s well known that the Neocons have been working non-stop there to try to drive him out of power, rather than let Israel’s democratic process take place without ‘outside help’. They have been very effective in weakening him, to the point where the military generals Were even angry with him (think Milley)...and when that happens, it can, and with the Neocons, usually does, end up with bad results.

I’ve been on FR a very long time and this is one of the stupidest threads I’ve ever encountered.

If you want to comment on something Trump said, post the story and comment on it.

This back-door attack is cheap, misleading and frankly childish.

“He’s sacrificing some civilians to get Gaza back. That’s a bargain in his mindset.”

Israel’s tolerance of the prior to the current situation was based on the leftists/activists in Israel naively protesting (in many ways) the government to tone down the rhetoric and stand down the vigilance.

And this is what you get when you are dealing with the Ishmaelists - who have been scripctually defined as “wild asses of men.”

Sucked me into knowing that you play games instead of posting a discussion thread.

I’d say frogmen waiting in the ocean to inject Loretta Fuddy with an undetectable poison is the best-worst.

Only apt if you also credit Rahm with initiating the crisis.
