Israel didn’t fail on October 7th because it was weak. It failed because it assumed its enemies come from the same moral universe.
Dan Schueftan, Israeli academic, political analyst and Middle East security expert, breaks down the real reason Israel was blindsided:
“Israelis believed if life in Gaza got better, the attacks would stop. But October 7th happened because life got better. Israelis keep thinking they’re a version of them. They’re not. They’ve been raised for 100 years to believe they have the right to destroy Israel.”
This is the video to understand how Israel got here—and what must change. (5 minutes)
Because they wanted a massacre to use as justification for war.
Same as Dec 7, 1941, and 9/11/2001.
Half wrong. The Israli DEEP State wanted to blame Netenyahu, and the Israli LEFT made Israel look divided with there mass protests against Netenyahu.
Israel’s left made Israel look divided, and it’s deep state was busy trying a couple against Netenyahu.
I may watch it.
I’ve my own view on this and not getting distracted by it today.
That’s closely mirroring my position.
Much like the Patriot Act was pre-written before 9/11, just waiting for the perfect crisis.
Neocons love to talk about "creative destruction" (meaning a destruction that reshapes reality in a favorable way).
They also love to say that the Chinese ideogram for "crisis" is the same as for "opportunity."
The worldwide gains are real. The mosques preach the Singleness of Purpose of Islam citing the worldwide gains. The forever war goes on. Jihad continues apace.
“It failed because it assumed its enemies come from the same moral universe.”
This is a mistake that the west continues. Putting these blood thirsty savages on equal moral footing is very dangerous.
If that’s true, then our own Leftists will likely continue to divide whatever passes for US. Even if it’s reduced to a rump-state the size of Maryland and Northern Virginia.

It failed because it assumed its enemies come from the same moral universe??
No one buys that bunk!
Israel is surrounded by savages that want to behead and kill them in their endless squabbles with the A-rabs. If the Jews haven’t figured that out by now, ferrrget it.
The Palestinians are dumber thank dog shit! The Israelis gave the.pali’s beach front property with infrastructure already built. And the Palestinians turn it into half assed fire base to to kill Jews instead of turning it into a cross of the Las Vegas strip & w wakiki beach. Stupid is as stupid does.
This Shueftan guy is brilliant. And tells the truth.
What destruction? Israel has been WAY to easy in this War.
Are you saying Netanyahu did not know this was occurring as it was occurring?
Most have, Tel Aviv is the center of the Israli Left.
It’s funny how every event suddenly has a nefarious, conspiratorial explanation. Almost as if Occam’s Razor has been retired from society.
My understanding is that there were multiple possibilities of attacks and Israel chose the wrong one to pay attention to. They probably evaluated it along historical tendencies and figured they wouldn’t attack like that.
