@huju,
Meir didn’t step down till after the war. First we need to fight the war in a united fashion with no blame. After that Yes i think Bibi must go and we need to return to electing strong generals who understand security issues. Not Bennet or Lapid
Re as to why blame Bibi? Well there were 3 main failures here.
1) A lack of intelligence picking up Hamas planning. How did we miss that.
2) The fact that the security for Gaza was all based on technology albeit high tech, but that can easily be wiped out in one air strike.
3) The fact that after the breach it took us hours to mobilize in the the modern day 2023 era. Israel needs to be able to mobilize alot quicker and that has always been a strength.
If I had to quantify this, Id say #1 isn’t so much Bibi’s fault as Hamas unfortunately did a good job concealing all this and fooling us that they are “peaceful”. But #2 is a huge issue. Bibi has been around of 15 years more or less (aside for a brief loss here and there.) That border wall was built under his watch and he put time in that. What was he thinking? And then #3 is also Bibi fault since its his army that needs to be better prepared to respond.
I love Bibi policies and I am not a leftie. I’d never want lapid. Edit
