Netanyahu has sidestepped accountability
His entire life in four words.
Of course he's going to sidestep responsibility for staffing the border with a skeleton crew on the 50th anniversary of the last time Palestinians attacked on the Yom Kippur holiday.
Main Character syndrome.
I'm not at all convinced he didn't want a little attack to rally people behind him, and it got away from him.
I'm not at all convinced he didn't want a worse attack.
After listening to 30 mins of his interview with Lex Fridman this is the only thing I would expect him to do.
The right-wing leader of the right-wing party that has control over the supposed best intelligence agency in the world, which somehow failed to prevent an attack that Hamas broadcasted on social media, is side-stepping responsibility. Shocking.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if it came out that their party knew the attack was coming, and let it happen to galvanize the public behind them.
He has actually funded Hamas. If what you say is true, all this chaos and hatred looks very deliberate.
This is typical for so called "right wing conservatives", they act like commies did, always blame other, and naming public enemies... they never responsible for anything, except the good things.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“During war, leadership must act responsibly,” Benny Gantz, a former military chief of staff, posted on X, formerly Twitter, calling on Netanyahu to take back his words.
Shafran Gittleman pointed to his apparent refusal this year to accept their warnings that a planned overhaul of the country’s judiciary threatened state security.
Scores of senior reservists and fighter pilots, key pillars of the military, had threatened to stop serving if the overhaul continued, though they have rushed back to duty since Oct. 7.
Netanyahu’s allies and the core of his nationalist base say the Israeli leader is facing unfair and poorly timed criticism by the same figures in the media and in the public who have long opposed him.
It has shattered his carefully manicured image as a strong leader with burnished security credentials who has worked tirelessly to protect Israel from its myriad threats.
Noam Tibon, a former military general who was outspoken against the judicial overhaul and rescued his son and his family from the Hamas attack, said the country needed unity to win the war but that Netanyahu was sowing division.
The original article contains 1,022 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hes playing with fire here, responsibility for the deaths of 2000 people.
filth
Claims like these hold little water when it's not him who decides or those "officials" if he stays in power. Every single person I know from Israel wants him imprisoned and considers him responsible. But time for that is yet to come, right now war is going on and bigger issues need dealing with.
Could the bigger issue be that him and his party are inflaming the conflict in order to hold on to power and avoid prison?
Likud and Hamas need each other to exist. The party doesn't have a future if there's peace, and now more than ever they benefit from more conflict. That's part of why they were ineffective during the initial attacks by Hamas, the other being they moved troops to the West Bank to support settler initiatives there.
But time for that is yet to come, right now war is going on and bigger issues need dealing with.
This is the bit I have a problem with because that's the exact rhetoric he's using right now. He's said it himself, he'll face responsibility but only after the war. He's also said the war will be long.
It's pretty easy to see what he's doing here
Jokes aside, I think he would be perfectly happy to snap his fingers and disappear Hamas and Palestine right now... There are enough regional enemies to stoke the authoritarian fires forever... Hezbollah, Isis, Iran, etc....
But since they exist, he will use them to further personal goals, why not?

and somehow he ruled the country for ~20 years, and he's going to be reelected too, you'll see. I'm from Italy and we got Berlusconi, so I think I know what I'm talking about.
I'll believe it when I see it. He left the border unguarded to protect illegal settlers instead yet nothing is happening to him.
The entire execution of the war is going to be conducted to make sure "yet to come" never comes.
If he says he'll take his medicine after the war, that means he's never going to end this war.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
