Failures Colossal

Nine months after October 6, 1973 PM Golda Meir of Israel was history For an intelligence failure colossal She became a political fossil… Fast forward to October 7, 2023 When Hamas went on a barbaric spree Killing more Jews than any day since the Holocaust ended Yet PM ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu’s had his term extended Where is the leader to end Bibi’s reign ~ flush him and his generals down yesterday's drain __________________________________________________ On October 6, 1973, Egyptian pontoons crossed the Suez Canal into Israeli-held Sinai, unchecked by Israeli forces, a colossal intelligence failure on the part of Israel's military. Prime Minister (PM) Golda Meir and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan were sacked nine months later---despite being heroes to much of Israel's populace.

Middle east politics is complicated -- never certain, peace and violence can break out in a heartbeat -- when least expected. Difficult for me to have an opinion, having to depend on mainstream news for everything. God bless Israel. I pray for peace.

I think the media makes M-E politics more complicated than they really are. Really. ~ gw
