> Those who knew the warnings and didn’t act on them need to be tried and executed. <

Sometime such attacks are due to gross incompetence. That’s probably the case here.

But it also depends on the amount of information coming in every week, week after week. With so much information, it’s often difficult to separate what’s true and what’s just rumor. I’m not making excuses. Just pointing something out.

In my opinion, the real criminals on the Israeli side are those who denied the average Israeli citizen the right to self-defense. Even in the border towns weapons were kept locked up in central locations. They should have been in every home.

However, I believe it is time for Bibi to fall on his sword, resign, and call elections.

I agree with your assessment. The problem with that is there's a real possibility that an Israeli version of Jimmy Carter will become the next PM.

Hey! Knew you’d show up like flies to merde.

Kicked some major ham ass butt the last month. Good times!

When are you going to join your preferred side in Rafah? There must be an international legion run by Soros down there ... Go for it!

Disagree. Generalized warnings that an attack may occur at some unspecified time at some unidentified location do not permit the IDF to respond to the specific attack at the specific time that actually occurred.

Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20.

I think this article is disingenuous. There are always warning, dozens of them. Most do not come to fruition. It is impossible to track all of them down.

People always want to point fingers for their own reasons. After Hamas is defanged there will be a time to look into what warnings were received with what level of proof or evidence. How many other such were received as well. That is important to improve future defense.

It would be disastrous for Bibi to fall on his sword before the war is concluded or is at the level of solidifying the removal of Hamas weapons & tunnels. Bibi would be presenting Israel as a target for Hamas to take advantage of Israel’s internal turmoil.

In the USA there are always terrorism threats, the vast majority are not shared with the public. One would have to be omniscient to know which are real and which just spin. I don’t envy the role of those who carry the weight of triaging them. I would never suggest that the people responsible could make the right call 100% of the time.

Sounds like you’re high, out of your mind, knowing you’re helping with the genocide. What kind of an anti Semite are you anyway? I was calling your former hero out 10/7. Of course, with the women and children murdering crowd that made me an anti Semite. The thing is, you aren’t welcome to the club of anti Bibites, no genocidal cheerleaders welcome.

Baloney!

Two weeks BEFORE October 7 the ENTIRE country of Israel was on HIGH ALERT for the Yom Kippur holiday!

This is pure anti-Netanyahu propaganda.

Please stop posting crap like this at Free Republic.

Thank you.

I agree totally. And it doesn’t change what hamas did and what they’re continuing to do. Now hezbollah has ratcheted up
None of this changes the fact that Iran and their proxy terrorists want to rid the world of Israel and the US. Israel needs to finish them off, the US needs to help them do it and Israel and the US need to bomb the crap out of Iran’s nuclear facilities and take out the Houthis.

It’s known that Defense Minister Gallant was informed early AM October 7 by the mayor of Ofakim begging for help. Gallant’s ‘help’ didn’t come for 5 - 6 hours.

1) This is Times of Israel. I have not discerned a general pro or anti Netanyahu slant from them.

2) Note that up thread, I state my support for Likud and conservatism in Israel.

3) I just got back from 3 weeks service in the IDF. I’m hardly weak kneed on the subject.

Will you volunteer to help your side?

You can always hide behind the skirts and baby carriages there like ham ass does.

Man, you are way out there today. Why in the world would I involve myself in fighting the DC MIC warmongers and their compliant Zionist stooges half a world away when we America Firsters have more than we can handle doing it right here at home. Every one less genocidal Zionist stooge who leaves the country makes our America First battle a little easier though.

Also...

Almost 50% of the Israeli dead, and almost 50% of the Israeli hostages, were attending an outdoor music festival.

The event was guarded by private security that ran out of ammunition within the first 15 minutes, because private citizens and private security are restricted - by law - from possessing more than a certain amount of ammunition.

The music festival was 2.9 miles from the Gaza border, which was the deepest Hamas penetration into Israel during the entire invasion.

Once again - please stop posting anti-Netanyahu propaganda at Free Republic.

I follow TOI on Twitter/X closely, several times a day. The bias against Netanyahu is more subtle than the Jerusalem Post but still clear.

Look at the home page for TOI. It is without question a left leaning news outlet. I have seen numerous anti-Netanyahu articles on their home page over the last 8 months.

All media outlets in Israel are precisely like our majority of our national media outlets in America. overwhelmingly liberal.

Netanyahu can face the music after the war(s). Gantz would love nothing more that to have his chance to run the show, which is exactly why he joined and now left the War Cabinet.

The worst thing that could happen now is for Netanyahu to step down when firm resolve is necessary to avoid allowing Hamas to survive. Hezbollah is another issue that needs to be dealt with presently and with a firm hand.

Bibi is the man needed at this time, and consider that Biden and the left would love nothing more than to have him replaced. They've been encouraging this openly for months because Bibi will not capitulate to their agenda and is doing what is necessary for Israel as a whole.

Re: "I just got back from 3 weeks service in the IDF."

And, yet, you seem to be completely unaware that the entire nation of Israel was on high alert two weeks BEFORE the attack.

Please excuse me for having zero confidence in your military and political bona fides.

You are correct. Times of Israel has been drifting Left for some time. Not as bad as JP, but even JP sometimes features op-eds by non-Leftists.
