Netanyahu concedes he bears some responsibility for Oct. 7, but says ‘everyone’ shares it
Times of Israel ^ | 11 May 2026 | Michael Bachner

Posted on 05/12/2026 3:49:16 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Asked during a wide-ranging interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” how it is that all those who were in charge of security during the attack have quit or been fired except him, Netanyahu claimed some departed because their terms were up, and only one or two “claimed they took responsibility, but it’s not clear what — what does that mean, you know? What is their responsibility?”

The remarks were made in an off-mic section of the interview that wasn’t aired on Sunday, and only appeared in CBS’s full transcript.

“Let’s look at the political echelon, military echelon, the security echelon. Let’s look down at everyone, and everybody bears some responsibility. Yeah, from the top, from the prime minister down,” he said, going on to repeat his proposal for a politically appointed commission of inquiry instead of an independent state commission of inquiry, the country’s highest form of inquiry, which he has refused to form.

Polls have consistently indicated a clear majority of Israelis support a state commission, and Netanyahu himself backed such an inquiry into the conduct of the previous government in 2022. But the current government has steadfastly refused to consider this, and has yet to okay any inquiry, over two-and-a-half years after the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

This is all about Security...Israel took a nap...and Oct 7th happened. Not really Net’s fault...but if you’re top dog...that’s where the buck stops.

By proxy, does Dubya get partial blame for 9/11?

Yeah well they could have done a better job, but the real responsibility belongs to the psychopathic murderers and rapists of Hamas. And Iran, their sponsors. Send another B2 assault, Donald.

What Charlie Kirk thought:

Turns out I Was Right, They Knew About the Attack.

NO ONE bears any "responsibility" for Oct 7 apart the Terrorists who planned, committed, supported or financed it.

Responsibility for preventing it is an entirely different matter.

This was Charlie Kirk’s take on the situation. Stunning:

There’s another clip of Kirk going around, but I can’t trace which episode of his show it’s from. Do you know? It’s about how Israelis are divided politically from within.

This war was planned, locked and loaded. October 7 was the deliberate sparkplug Bibi allowed to happen so he could completely destroy Gaza, and attack Iran and Lebanon.

The people who did the pager assassinations, and knew the precise locations of the Iranian leaders with astonishing precision? The people who are the would experts at tapping phones and surveillance and AI analysis. Somehow -they- were stymied and outsmarted by Hamas? And then the IDF took 6 hours to get to the Nova Festival and the Kibutzzes in the area? And it pulled Bibi out of the fire for his pending criminal case and stopped the massive protests against his judiciary restructuring.

Sure.... just a coincidence. It wasn’t deliberate.

Charlie Kirk said it best. And then he got rubbed out. Prob another coinkydink...

But, I wonder how a country with an intelligence force like Mossad that bragged about easily taking out Khomemi a few months ago due to their having hacked into every street light or stop light (can’t remember which) in the city that could track his every move in real time so thry could know when/where to kill him, how did they not know about the Oct. 7 plans and how and why did they, with all of their trained forces, not stop them dead in their tracks that day???
I just have a hard time believing they didn’t know.

DesertRino is an example of how the quality of Freepers has gone down over the years.

By proxy, does Dubya get partial blame for 9/11?

You think that's a novel idea?

People have long accused Bush, and/or Mossad, of having advance knowledge of 9/11.

“...does Dubya get partial blame for 9/11?”

To be fair, Bush fils had only been in office a few months. But, well do I remember saying to hubby a day or two later “how did they let this happen to us”, “they” being the US Government. Tutti.

What Bush really gets blame for, from me, is from going on TV that very day (or the next day, not sure) and saying “Islam is a religion of peace”. When what he should have said was: What Muslims around the world need to know is that we are going to kick your *ss.

I did support him, but in hindsight he was a miserable failure. Sorry to say it, but it’s true.
