I think you explained your position well here:

If the nay-sayers want to continue to harp on you without reading what you actually wrote, let them continue with their own personal Festivus.
I can’t tell. I’m not close enough to Israeli politics. They seem evenhanded from afar.
A couple of my hosts in Israel were nice people, but wacked out leftists. Their hatred of Netanyahu was bluntly stated. That’s my point of reference for anti-Netanyahu slant.
Oh well! I knew that by merely posting the article the air would fill with fire and counterfire. Fair enough!
A base commander in the Negev told us the story of retreating to her safe room with her children, and being surrounded by terrorists. Her neighbors were incinerated in their homes. Others were hand grenaded as a family.
Her room stayed intact, and she had a 9mm handgun. Hardly enough to handle a boatload of terrorists with AKs. But many of her neighbors were outright killed, while she and her children survived. Tough lady, but she wept recounting that day.
I believe all Jews everywhere should always be armed to the teeth. Israel is loosening up, and allowing more civilian ownership. All American Jews should march down to their local gun shop and pick up ARs, shotguns, and 9mm semiautos, with LOTS of ammo. 10/7 is going to happen here, and we need to be ready.
The streets of Israel today are heavily armed. All reservists are carrying their duty weapons with full mags at the ready (empty chambers with flags). You can’t go a few blocks without seeing at least an M4.
Funny story, second hand to me. A friend was at a dance club at 2:00 a.m. On the floor was a tall long haired shapely young woman wearing a g-string red bikini that barely covered anything. 4” black stilletos. Dancing like a wild woman. With an M4 across her back.
You have a nice day.
Please watch Caroline Glick’s Bad Strategy
If you suffer from low blood pressure it will work miracles for you!
By suggesting that Netanyahu be sacrificed for possible traitors within the government and/or the IDF?
You should reevaluate what it means to be a leader.
The mossed let it happen. They got what they wanted. A war of extermination...and an endless supply of money from us. Again.
“We thank you for your support!”
Everyone has an opinion, and the subject being Jewish, probably more than one each!
I knew what I was in for when posting. Israel is in a tough spot. This is just a free fire zone for everyone to vent their spleens. Someone was going to post the article, might’s well be me.
But ain’t nobody got Israel’s back more than me. We just have different opinions of what will be most successful.
Do you have any evidence of that, or did you just make it up?
Absolutely.
I enjoyed your postings on your recent service in Israel and honor you for your commitment.
I have followed Israeli events, politics and commentary very closely since Oct 7th. Israel seems to have a leftist problem like ours in the US. The disconnect with how they feel the world should be and how it is in reality is striking. Netanyahu is a realist and fights for Israel. He may not satisfy the idealists whose desires are unworkable and will lead to dire consequences but his hand on the tiller means they will continue to have a homeland.
An amazing (seeming) fact of current Israeli politics is that the left calls for the hostages to be released by having the government totally capitulate to whatever ham ass wants! That’s nuts!
ham ass will only agree that mass suicide by all the Jews on the planet is good and will save them bullets for Christians next.
So the Israeli left are total wackadoos, as far as I can tell.
My view hasn’t changed since October 7th.
Lay hands on my women and children, and you’re ALL gonna die.

Rub out the vermin in Gaza.

There are the pro-ham-ass crowd here.
There are the turn gaza into a glass parking lot crowd here.
I think there is just the right amount of death and destruction that can be visited upon gaza to make all the grandmothers teach all the grandchildren forever that killing Jews is always a bad idea. I just don’t know how much is required. Clearly, given recent polling, the death and destruction are not nearly enough to change minds. Yet.
So BOMBS AWAY!
Not true at all. They infiltrated Ofakim, Urim base, etc. Much farther in than Nova.
Everyone interested should see Caroline Glick’s ‘Bad Strategy’! (53 minutes, names names).

The year before the attack, the judicial reform protesters included elements of Israeli intelligence and dons Air Force squadrons who were basically in mutiny. The protesters and the military who stood with them caused this neglect. Note they are using it as a weapon.
It’s filthy
Yup. We were at Hetzarim near Ofakim, iirc, and were told that the terrorists were within 2 klicks of base. We were 29 miles from Rafah.
I believe there is a strategic shift, because of the war in the Ukraine, and Russia is covertly behind a lot of these conflicts. The stakes are very high for Russia, and an easy way to make their border war go better, is to start a whole of fires elsewhere.
The time for that is after Hamas is destroyed and peace - or whatever it is in the Middle East - is restored. I don’t see any way that Netanyahu survives politically after this.
What to understand: History repeats itself.
Remember the Maine? The Lusitania? Pearl Harbor? 9/11?
And war is the health of the State.
