The fight against what Prime Minister Netanyahu has taken to calling Israel’s “deep state” is now in full swing. It reached a climax on Thursday, March 20, late in the evening, when the cabinet unanimously voted to dismiss Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet—the country’s domestic security service. The termination is to take effect on the earlier of two dates: April 10, or when a replacement is found. Bar is not going down without a fight, however, and has retaliated by stepping up an investigation against the prime minister’s staff.
Bar’s removal is long overdue. For starters, he is probably the person most directly responsible for the disaster of Oct. 7. Gaza is the Shin Bet’s intelligence turf, and so Bar’s advice to refrain from raising the level of alert on the night before the massacre was naturally accepted by the IDF. All remained quiet on the Gaza front as dawn broke on that Sabbath. So quiet, says former Shin Bet operative Yizhar David, who was privy to some of the relevant information, that Mohammed Deif, who commanded the invasion, postponed the attack for fear that Israel’s apparent total lack of preparation might well be a trap.
But there was no trap. Despite the accumulating signs of an impending assault nobody alerted the soldiers, sleeping soundly in their beds, or the party goers still dancing as the sun was rising at the Nova Festival, or those on guard duty at the nearby kibbutzim. The handful of tanks at the theater, the soldiers stationed in bases around the fence, and the volunteers on security duty in the adjoining kibbutzim could have stopped or at least drastically curtailed the invasion had they only been told to stay put. Bar’s advice excluded any such preparations. The theater was sedated...

Netanyahu is Deep State.
There are so many judges that need a quick trip to the bottom of the ocean. Judicial tyranny has gone worldwide and we need to crush it.
Go Bibi!
Bull.
Kick @$$ Bebe. Deport em to Iran.
Israel’s Deep State got serious about replacing elected governments when the Left started losing elelections:
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/404518
...The first time that the left lost an election in 1977, it considered its defeat a fluke. Like President Donald Trump’s victory in 2016.
But then, in 1981, like the Democrats after Trump’s 2024 victory, it realized that it may not be able to win an election again any time soon, so it came up with plan B. I know this intimately, since the beginnings of this plan were loudly discussed in my childhood living room, while my sister and I were trying to sleep.
My parents remained democrats at heart and never bought into it, but the old Jerusalem left-leaning bureaucratic elite, of which my father was a prominent member, was determined. They began to entrench the left’s power in the bureaucracy, figuring that “responsible adults” must stay in control, lest the wild, right-wing amateurs drive Israel into the abyss of fascism.
That plan met with the unbounded ambitions of one unscrupulous Supreme Court judge named Aharon Barak, whom Judge Robert Bork once called a “judicial buccaneer.”
The court cultivated allies in the other branches of government, not least the office of the State Attorney and the Attorney General (who is also the legal counsel to the executive in Israel). So that when a politician came up with an idea on how to limit the power of the judiciary and its tentacles in the executive branch, more often than not he suddenly faced criminal charges. The Supreme Court as uber-government had its own enforcers: the state prosecution was its Pretorian Guard...
“Netanyahu is Deep State.”
Just a flat out statement (delusional) without any explanation, facts or reason . Go back out to your demonstration.
Thanks for posting. Excellent overview of Israeli government under fire.
US Federal Trials are like that. Almost 100% conviction.
It’s a real story that’s for sure how it comes out remains to be seen.
Netanyahu is Deep State.
********
What planet are you living on? The Israeli left — full of commies, atheists, LGBTs, and appeasers of Muslims — has been trying to bring him down for about 10 years. It’s big gun is a leftist judiciary waging legal warfare against him as our judiciary has been doing with Trump.
Prayers for Netanyahu.
Bkmk
Critics of Netanyahu never point out that the entire nation of Israel was on High Alert for two weeks BEFORE the Hamas suicide invasion - on October 7.
I believe the High Alert was because of the Yom Kippur holiday, which ended around October 7.
