israelis and supporters worldwide waited and waited for idf to take care of the tunnels and to smash hamas guts to no avail except for tunnels at the very end. this was also the case with the hezbollah war where israelis took 10,000 rockets from nasrollah on the chin, they waited and waited.

in 2006, you had security ignoramuses olmert, peretz and livni aided by an arrogant one dimensional chief of staff who could not adapt. a push at the end to show some gain ended spillilng the blood of scores of idf soldiers because the poltical leadership tried to do it on the cheal. this is what really led to olmert leaving, not as much the llegal stuff. israeis realized he didn't know what he was doing.


this is not the first time with bibi as war leader. he had a chaance before with barak and not much was done. this time around, while the people tookk it on the chin, bibi and yaalon were fearful of casualties, so they counselled restraint and chased ceasefires. bibi was found to be a person with no leadership skills, just get by and do the least possible. yaalon compounded his problems erring constantly-egyptian mediation, hamas won't attack via tunnels, we can leave them with the tunnels, it won't be so bad etc etc.moreover he resented bennett going into the field to collect info;in other words, yaalon was protecting his turf. this is really bad. If I was pm, I would have fired yaalon on the spot, replaced gantz with turgeman, appointed bennett as defense minister and hatched an tough asymmetric plan to upend hamas whether gas, flooding, use of arab volunteers, robiots, missiles designed to explode in tunnel openings launched from a distance or sealing tunnel openings permanently etc etc.

that both in 2006 and 2014, generals and leaders did not adapt like sharon in yom kippur frankly ended the careers of halutz, now yaalon and gantz and soon bibi who has to step down in favour of new leadership. he is all a cover job like a 2500 new houses at some future point is empty to buy time to just drag out the process and then to offer an improved herzog proposal which will killl israel.

this report destroys the chances of lapiid who was even worse than bibi buying hook line and sinker from yaalon. yaalon is a no nothing on securitiy and will kill the state. if jsraelis want to die, choose lapid and for certain more of you will die in the next wars.
