Total Loss of Deterrence and Credibility: The Price of Appeasement …
Noam Shalit Criticizes Gov’t Actions
Excerpts;
In the first clear criticism of the government since his son Gilad was kidnapped eight days ago, Shalit said on Monday that it was “delusional” that the state of Israel would attempt to reestablish its deterrence at the expense of his son.
Shalit was responding to comments made by Construction and Housing Minister Meir Sheetrit, who said Israel must restore its level of deterrence.
“Israel should have done that before the attack, when there was intelligence on tunnels being dug in the region. Despite this, we will not rush to conclusions and wait for the findings of the Eiland Commission [established to investigate the Kerem Shalom attack],” Shalit said.
