    Oh yeah? Name one way I funded Hamas except for those newspaper articles I wrote about the strategic brilliance of me funding Hamas.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former prime minister Ehud Barak described the terrorist attack as “the most severe blow Israel has suffered since its establishment to date”.

    The interventions come amid growing concern in Israel at the government’s attempts to free some of the 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

    The Israeli PM also remains embroiled in a corruption trial on an array of charges including fraud, breaching public trust and accepting bribes, all of which he denies.

    Cabinet ministers including the controversial far-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, defence chiefs including the Israeli military chief of staff Herzi Halevi, and Ronen Bar, who heads Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, the Shin Bet, have all apologised for the failure of the Israeli government to protect its citizens after the attack.

    Israeli bombardments of the territory have killed more then 4,385 people and injured an estimated 13,000 over the past two weeks, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

    Barak added: “You cannot lead Israel through such a demanding crisis, both politically and strategically, when you are responsible for the most severe kind of failure of government in the history of the country, and you cannot rebuild this trust from zero.

    Wow. Going to war while telling your leader to quit. That’s leaping off without a parachute.

      This is as much war as US’ war on terror.

      Everyone is wondering how Israel missed it, there are even theories that he knew about the attack and let it happen to increase nationalist sentiment and secure more power. He just didn’t know it will be this bad.

      He deserves to be removed, but he will fight to stay because he has no shame.

      The war is BECAUSE of Netanyahu. Yes he should quit. Israelis replaced Golda Meir for her governments failures during wars.

      Those are two separate decisions, the latter is a good one and the former terrible.
