Success? BiBi? Who are you kidding?
Bibi had plenty of chances during his 13 yr reign to destroy or at a minimum prevent Hamas from metastasizing into its current monstrous form.
His ‘vision’ is one of יהיה בסדר.
Free a million Hamas leaders for Gilad Shalit? יהיה בסדר. אנחנו חזקים מהם.
His record is one of complete failure re gaza.
Whatever the exact nature of the failures of oct. 7 they clearly had to do with this יהיה בסדר attitude and as pm he should have been on top of the army to make sure proper military attitudes were held
He is a complete security failure.
His legacy is one of 13 years of unanswered constant rocket barrages.
But he makes good speeches and talks tough.
And he did a really good job with his priority one goal:
Preventing Iran from going nuclear and generally expanding influence in the region. Yeah, Bibi has it all under control
And according to your ‘brilliant’ logic why did Chamberlain have to resign ? He was just a politician, not a military leader. And the obvious answer, once you stop trying to be an ibber chochom and start having the humbleness to using boring, non gaavadig common sense is – bc in a democracy, the military gets its vision and direction from the political echelon. They are just the experts or at least we hope so, in carrying out those directives.
The only hop Israel has is ironically bibi’s vanity. He knows if he doesn’t do something serious this time he and his ‘legacy’ will be mud forever and nothing positive will remain from anything he did. Kinda like Nixon and Watergate.
