PING!
I don’t know if it’s deliberately treason and he should be tried on the possibility, but he let his own personal philosophy guide him in his actions, which resulted in 1500 Israeli deaths.
Definitely, he should be forced to go to the front lines.
Convinced by his subordinate’s reporting, her commander, an NCO with 30 years’ experience, canceled a family vacation because he heard Haliva would be visiting their base. He waylaid Haliva, and he and his subordinate presented her reports.
Haliva dismissed their warnings and detailed information as hot air. Hamas, he insisted, was just pretending, to make an impression on its followers. He did not communicate her report to either the head of Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) or the IDF Chief of General Staff.
Are we sure that this guy isn't part of the Obama administration, over in Israel?
MFLR.
The Field Observers unit at Nahal Oz base suffered the greatest losses there during Hamas’s assault. The unit, comprising female soldiers, is responsible for monitoring the footage from security cameras along the Gaza border around the clock and alerting forces on the ground and in the intelligence community to anything suspicious.
Seventeen observers were killed on Oct. 7. Seven were taken hostage. One, Naama Levy, was videoed barefoot, being dragged from the trunk of a vehicle by her hair and pushed into the back seat. Her hands were zip-tied behind her back. The seat of her sweatpants was stained with blood, indicating she had been raped violently.
That’s a damning report.
There were reports from early on that people knew in advance that Hamas was planning something & were ignored.
Haliva should be shot and others thrown in prison.
A TRAITOR in the midst of it all!

It’s starting to look like the intelligence community wanted this attack to happen.
Haliva was given his position by the left-wing government in 2021. The Mossad and much of leadership of IDF was focuses on getting rid of Netanyahu for months. The Right warned of terrorists, so the Left downplayed the threat.
Block has long been a good journalist. She is one to listen to. Only time will tell if she was wrong.
This attack mirrored the deceptive Egyptian actions before they attacked across the Suez Canal in Oct. 1973, also on or near a Jewish holiday if I remember correctly.
US intelligence seems to have failed at the same time.
