How Netanyahu Prolonged the War in Gaza to Stay in Power


Through interviews with more than 110 officials in Israel, the United States and across the Arab world, as well as a review of dozens of government records and other documents, we reveal how Netanyahu’s actions first made Israel more vulnerable to the October disaster and then helped to prolong and expand the ensuing war. Unexpectedly, the war’s expansion allowed Israel to defeat Hezbollah and bruise Iran. But its extension in Gaza brought relentless misery for Palestinians, led to the deaths of Israeli hostages and allowed Netanyahu to defer a political reckoning.

why does it take so **** long for people to recognize The Obvious?

Having spent much of his time in office appeasing hard liners to stay there, Bibi was on the verge of being nailed for corruption...then Hamas threw him a life line.

His response to Oct. 7th has been largely self serving, and as he spent the political currency, opinion in Israel shifted....

But you can always rally global Hawks and their dimwit minions against Iran....it's an easy sell to slack jaws, FOX demographic wind socks and other cretins. 

The Kumbaya Krowd is on board the minute you start talking "penetration" and "bunker buster"....

So Netanyahu wages war with Iran - enabled by The Big Dunce...whose participation is a Yuge Success, regardless of any actual damage assessment - or you are spitting on Sgt. York and America.

Let a steady breeze stoke the fire of the bolgia wherein those two yutzes spend eternity riding a rotisserie...





 

It appears that no one really cares about your claim without ANY real evidence it's true.

Where are the names and the actual interviews of these so called "110 officials"?? Either it's invented or your NY Slimes are liars. I suspect both are at play here.

Hitchen's Razon aptly applies here.

As Netanyahu convalesced in his pajamas in the hospital in July 2023, a senior general brought him a troubling intelligence assessment. The report warned that Israel’s enemies, including Hamas, had taken note of the country’s domestic turmoil, set off by Netanyahu’s divisive plan to weaken the judiciary, and were preparing an attack.

Netanyahu ignored this and other warnings, and his government went ahead with the overhaul, passing a law hours later that limited the judiciary’s power, setting off more unrest. Two days later, Hamas’s leaders once again noted the turmoil in Israel — and decided the time was right to proceed with a long-planned attack.

Minutes after the attack began in October 2023, at the nadir of his political career, Netanyahu was already planting the seeds for his personal survival act. “I don’t see anything in the intelligence,” Netanyahu said in one of his first phone calls that day. It was his first deflection of blame and an early hint of how Netanyahu would try to prolong his political life by blaming the security and intelligence chiefs for failing to prevent the attack

Anything else you want to add here to validate your claims?

Because you seem to think that your sources are God given gospel when in reality, they have been proven to be liars and propagandists more times than you can count on all digits on your feet and hands.

Not necessary.

That won't change the facts that you have ZERO NAMES of the alleged "110 officials" that you think makes it something special. 

Without that, you have bumpkis.

Either A, B, C, or D.

Let me break this down for your dumb ***. You see the 4 options to the question? Every option includes your definition, but only one is an example of survivorship bias. Your definition was half assed. Like all of your content.

When a sample fails to reflect "mortality" in the population being examined.

or

"Sampling error"

Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?

A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors
