Danon wasn’t criticizing the use or effectiveness of the Iron Dome technology or the strategy itself. He also didn’t speak up publicly from the beginning of the operation through the geginning of thenfirst aborted cease fire.
Netanyahu, as Prime Mknister, had a right to fire him from the position. But there is significant belief in his own cabinet and his own party that Israel should step up its efforts to beat Hamas. Under Israel’s parliamentary coalition system I think it was legitimate for Danon to say what he did say at the time that he said it.
Yesterday, Star Traveler called Danon a whiner (I mean a WHINER). It is obvious from reading both what he said and what his reaction was when he was fired from the position that he was nothing of the sort.
What I object to from Star Traveler isn’t his opinions. It is the way that he twists things to intimidate those who disagree with him. Think about it: he is here om Free Republic, which I don’t think he owns, with the stated purpose of getting conservatives who disagree with him to shut up. Talk about a fundamental transformation...
.....Agreed,......excellent points, thanks for commenting....
Now you’re starting to be a “WHINER” ... :-) ...
