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

No he did not. History is full of well planned surprise attacks. The response has been swift and violent, as it should be.

Trump of course has more and more fervent supporters across the country, partly IMO because he has the more appealing political positions and partly because he’s more charismatic with more of a fighter’s affect.

“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.”

And... it has been compromised and infiltrated by the same type of pretenders and embedded traitors as the US has been compromised by.

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

Natural disasters notwithstand? A Marxist will exploit any crises, planned or otherwise. They are not prejudiced in that regard.

What kind of idiot would take what he said and try to make it sound like blame. It’s a statement of fact. Leave it to Reuters child reporters to twist it. Nobody could have been prepared for what was done, just like we couldn’t have been prepared for savages flying planes into buildings. There is no blame there.

Bunch of little Biden suck up trying to stir up trouble to cover their own sins

That’s facts not blame. If he’s blaming anyone he’s blaming Biden foe enabling Hamas through coddling Iran.

Israel is ably and to the core vigilant.

This was not an accidental or naive standing down.

Utter nonsense. It is/was Israel Intelligence that let down Israel, not BiBi.
Heads of Intelligence will roll long before BiBi’s head will roll.

Looks like they got it right 1200 times this week with 1200 invaders and Hamas got it right another 5000 times with their missiles.

Israel only has a 25 mile border.

No way Israel intelligence is this incompetent. They certainly must have some traitors in their midsts.

My guess is that it’s an absence of US intel support.

I figure US actually had info but, since Biden doesn’t actually do anything, they gave it to Valerie Jarrett who shelved it, instead of passing it on to the Israeli ambassador.

It was Obama’s withdraw of intel support that led to the “arab spring” and rise of ISIS some years ago.

Yup. My read as well is that this is part of a larger strategy.

The Article in full..........

Oct 11 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over what he described as a lack of preparation for a weekend attack by Palestinian Hamas militants that killed at least 1,200 people in Israel.

Speaking to Fox News, Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said Netanyahu “has been hurt very badly” due to the attack.

“He was not prepared. He was not prepared and Israel was not prepared. And under Trump, they wouldn’t have had to be prepared,” he said.

Trump’s comments came as Israel was still collecting its dead and reeling from one of the most devastating attacks in its history. It has retaliated with air strikes on Gaza that have killed at least 1,200 Palestinians.

One of Trump’s opponents in the Republican contest, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, criticized the former president over the comments.

“(It) is absurd that anyone, much less someone running forfor President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel,” DeSantis wrote on social media.

Trump and Netanyahu had a close relationship during Trump’s time as president, though cracks have appeared in their once ironclad rapport.

Speaking to supporters in Florida on Wednesday evening, Trump again commented on Israeli security preparedness, pointing to “some of the things that went wrong over the last week”.

Trump added: “They’ve gotta straighten it out because they’re fighting potentially a very big force, they’re fighting potentially with Iran.”

THE END.............

The thing is no one could have anticipated the barbarity of that raid. I’m pretty sure the years of weak leadership after they dumped Bibi contributed. It would be like attacking Trump for an attack after Biden has screwed up the military, corrupted the Intel community and depleted the country’s assets.
