The shock attack by Hamas on Saturday has claimed over 1,000 lives in Israel and has set the stage for a new era in Israel-Palestine relations and Israeli politics.
In Israel, the event is being referred to as a national trauma equivalent to the 9/11 terrorist attacks that destroyed New York’s Twin Towers and sparked a US-led global "war on terror".
Israeli retaliation for the attack has so far killed more than 1,000 in the Gaza strip, where Hamas holds power, and looks set to kill many more.
As macabre details of Saturday’s attack continue to emerge, the shock in Israel is still raw but there is also “palpable anger,” said Clive Jones, professor of regional security at the University of Durham.
The largest share of fury is directed at Hamas, Jones said, “but equally there’s a seething anger that this government – led by Netanyahu – has failed on issue of security”.
“There is commentary, even in centrist or slightly right-wing newspapers, that has said this is certainly the worst government that Israel has had and that it has damaged national security.”

Bravo !
Call us back when 100,000 are dead is what many are saying tonight...
BS! French Popaganda
Bibi will lead Israel to totally defeat Hamas.
Bibi took his eye off the ball and got caught totally unaware. I really don’t see how this is excusable.
The global deep state is showing it’s cards
Global War on Terror.
Two 20+ year police actions while having a wide open border.
Afghanistan-mission, defeat the Taliban. Leave 20 years later with Taliban taking power and all time high poppy yields.
Iraq-mission, defeat Saddam. 20 years later, no Saddam leads to power vacuum where Iran fills the void
Turns out everyone coming into the US illegally isn’t a landscaper or roofer…
*Bibi took his eye off the ball and got caught totally unaware. I really don’t see how this is excusable.*
FDR got away with it at Pearl.
I asked the question about Bibi dropping the ball to Freeper Jaysin, who is in Israel. He says Israel has their version of “deep state” that is to blame, as they kept Bibi in the dark and undercut him. Like our Deep state did to Trump at every turn. The shackles are off now, so Bibi will rise to the challenge, I think (and hope).
If they obtain that objective, I think Bibi not care what happens next as far as governing Israel.
Fascinating local report.
Blatant. They don't ask if this is the beginning of the end for Hamas, they ask if it's the beginning of the end for the leader of the country Hamas attacked.
The Left in 2023, more than ever, simply has no shame.
“...Bibi took his eye off the ball and got caught totally unaware....”
How long has Bibi been in the drivers seat?? - not very long.
And what was the condition of national security when he took office?? - much weaker than when he left office!
It’s a reasonable argument, but Bibi might survive because a whole host of military and intelligence guys have been insubordinate and even seditious while neglecting discipline and training. Strip them all out and Bibi might be needed just for government continuity.
Yes, this is very disturbing that this somehow slipped through intelligence.
Either they truly had no idea, scary in and of itself... or the let it happen... even scarier.
Now, please don’t put words in my mouth, I believe it is the former, not the latter, but those are truly the only 2 options.
It should be the end of both Netanyahu and Biden, that this occurred without either government having a clue. That is an incredible security failure.
Yes. They are pure Evil.
Satan’s Children.
Bibi was put in place for a reason. Ef the French!
Bibi is human and nobody else saw it coming either.
Bibi will lead Israel to victory. We will help.
Nice buildings you have there in Qatar. Shame that they are riddled with Hamas.
