Regev Criticized Over Pro-Government Statements

Transportation Minister Criticized After Saying the Government Has “Done Amazing Things” in Relation to Its Handling the Situation in the North and the South

NO! This war is not primarily Bibi’s or the Coalition’s fault. NO, the Coalition has NOT done “crazy damage!” The Generals of the IDF High Command bear the Primary and Ultimate responsibility for 7 October and for residents of the north and the Gaza border towns being holed up in hotels paid for by the Government. The IDF High Command is Primarily responsible for 7 October. That is where Major Change Must occur — in the IDF High Command. There is a word they use regarding sports teams which I can’t recall just now. But the word relates to a collective mindset, psychology, attitude and applies to a military high command. They either have no concept as to how to win, or their lust for power and the continuance of such power that they would jeopardize Israel’s security in the name of perpetuating their sector’s hold on power at all costs. Gotta wonder why General Winter hit the glass ceiling regarding promotions and was retired. read more
