Similar situation to Golda Meir in 1973. As Head of State, his primary responsibility is national security. Failed at protecting citizens, so must go unfortunately
Would not surprise me in the least.
Well, there is the losses to the Assyrians and Babylonians back in the day....
Interesting choice. I always suspected that Seymore Hersh was a Russian Propaganda spy. He was Eugene McCarthy’s Press Secy, wrote about the My Lai Massacre, Abu Grahb Prison, etc. He writes for the NYT and the New Yorker, etc., so he is about as LEFT as possible. So yes, of course, he has condemned Netanyahu. He might be right, because Israel has been infected with Comnnunist as much as we have.
Are you saying Hersh was wrong about Nordstream? Well then, which admin narrative was right? Did the Russians or “rogue Ukes” do it?
Hersh is a CIA operative? What an idiot! Hersh was promoting the CIA narrative that the CIA and MI 5 blew up NordStream?!? Hah, Hah, Hah, keep the slapstick coming.
It sure would go a long way in explaining how the terrorists were able to kill and kidnap as many Israelis as they did...
CIA and Russia prop.
the only ones supporting baby-murdering Hamas terrorists are Russia, China, and the usual Muslim suspects
which says something about those countries ...
Yom Kippur?
You mean the time when 6 million Jews whipped 120 million Syrians and Egyptians like a rented camel?
What Seymour Hersh reported about shifting forces to cover that festival and leaving big holes in the border security jives with what I heard a former Israeli intelligence person say several days ago.
I don’t either but posted it as printed. It doesn’t take a journalist to tell us Netanyahu is gone. The buck stops on his desk. He was asleep at the wheel. I’ve previously supported the guy but he’s responsible and needs to be held accountable. The bloodbath we about to witness will ensure his departure.
I didn’t have to read more than a few sentences to see that this was propaganda from the Israeli left. The “israeli insider” is obviously on the left side of the political spectre. What he conveniently forgets to mention is that when Netanyahu returned to power after his opposition to the 1993 Oslo Accords PA had already lost the power to Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and in the rest of Pal areas as well if they had allowed free elections. This is something the socialists amd peacniks in Israel do not want to remember. So Netanyahu had to deal with the cards he was dealt.
It may well be that N. will be ousted after the end of this war, just as Churchill was in 1945. However, I think it is a tad early to discuss this before we know what will happen hours from now.
I am not especially impressed by Seymour Hersch. The latest important piece he wrote, about the North Stream explosions, contained very little facts that could be independently verified. Now that is unfortunately often the case with secret operations. But there was one statement I know something about, and there he was completely wrong. Hersch stated that his contacts had told him that the US and Norwegian divers had used a diving gas mixture containing helium, nitrogen and oxygen. (For those familiar with tech-diving: trimix.) But the US Navy uses heliox (helium and oxygen) for its deep diving. Also, the Norwegians are using heliox mixtures and US Navy decompression tables. Unlike their Scandinavian neighbours they have refrained from the use of trimix. A small fact that does not necessarily inform us whether the main point of that article by Hersch was correct or not, but it indicates that the informed source he used then was not as well informed as he thought.
Bibi’s Hamas chickens are coming home to roost.
Hersh has always been a leftist propagandist who tried to harm the American nation with everything he wrote. Yet give him credit. Most of the “journalists” of the MSM mimic him and are his disciples.
More evidence that the 10/7 attack was intended to undermine the Israeli government (my assertion since the outset).
Expect the rest of the biased media to begin operating off of a coordinated script in that respect.
But there’s one additional point to be made:
As I cited in a post a few minutes ago (below),
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4189767/posts
the shortcomings of the IDF obviously didn’t occur overnight and must have been instigated either with intent or negligence.
There WILL be a price to pay.
At this point, enough evidence via the German investigation says a small Ukraine group led the natural gas pipeline bombing. Beyond that....literally everything that Hersch said...has turned out to be 100-percent bogus.
Any chatter saying either the Americans, Brits, Russians, or Swedes were involved...is crap.
Israeli polls show 86% of Israelis hold Netanyahu and his policies responsible for this catastrophic security failure. So he’s definitely on his way out.
“ That’s the great thing about history... It’s history. Israel has never been defeated... Ever!”
The Assyrians, Babylonians and Romans are in the back of the classroom raising a ruckus over that statement.
It’s a blog....
Why not post the whole thing right here????
Israel still exist... None of those empires do.
