Many say that this is the worst intelligence failure in the history of Israel. I think it can be explained by the internal political conflict that has been raging in Israel for months.
Political divisiveness is a grave threat to a country’s safety and sovereignty. The US should take note.
@HolisticWeasel8mos8MO
agree but Big question what about UK and USA intelligence we monitor Hamas, Iran Est as much as Israel if not more Did GCHQ or NSA pick up any chatter was that info pass to Israel
@B1llOfRightsRon8mos8MO
That’s a good question.
@HolisticWeasel8mos8MO
you can tell it’s a good question because media (all of it ) conspicuously aren’t asking it , and sanker dodged the question as if he did not hear it the one time i heard it asked sheepishly then no follow up
@OrangeGaryRepublican8mos8MO
Precise point. One of the political-military principles is divide and conquer. The Israelis took the bait of internal disputes and
lost focus on the central issue. The Israel existence. The US and Europe... well, Western democracies in general, are flirting with the same trap.
@LovingSheepLibertarian8mos8MO
Internal political and social conflict in the United States, deteriorating US economic conditions, and self-inflicted crises like lurching from one government shutdown deadline to the next is going to keep our country distracted. A war in Ukraine, a new war in Israel? The biggest beneficiary of all this…. China.
@Sw1ngStateParrotLibertarian8mos8MO
For the first time in decades, Israel has lost control of populated territory. Reports from the ground suggest mass killing & mass kidnap of Israeli civilians (men, women & some children), all taken back to
The chance this goes 'regional' is increasing by the hour.

They’re terrorists, not “Palestinian militants.”
