“And what happens when the nation lets down its guard and its security systems fail? October 7 happens.”
Am I reading this correctly? Is Dr. Brown blaming the VICTIMS of October 7th, here?
I didn't read it like that. I read it like: life in Israel requires everybody to always be on alert. Never let your guard down. In other words, he was talking about having to be "street smart" as we would say it in the U.S. in urban areas, as opposed to not having to worry about things like that in rural areas.
