“So spare me the search for the single leader who ignored the obvious signs or the one warning that would have changed history. From the chief of staff to the prime minister, all were trapped in a conceptual prison guarded by their own presumptions and upkept by groupthink that none escaped.”
True. Yet only one leader has up until now refused to accept ANY responsibility.
>>The fundamental problem was never a lack of signs, but a lack of understanding.
Very true. Conceptzia in 2023 is just another word for ignorance about political Islam. The 1988 Hamas charter, article 13, reads: “There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.” The Palestinian Islamic Jihad broadcast their motive in the very name of their organization. The Israeli political and military leadership should have understood that for Hamas and PIJ jihad takes precedence over economic prosperity.
“Conceptzia” -> Failure of Imagination. There’s no math for this kind of risk assessment- it relies on human judgment.
Why would Israelis want to have a leader who fails to acknowledge their responsibility and accountability for such a failure. That’s not just the individuals who were in office on Oct 7. It must include those leaders who were the architects of the security doctrine associated with the Conceptzia ! Israelis should also ask themselves, should Sr Leaders who were architects or who were Sr Leaders on Oct 7 be PM or Ministers that oversea nation security.!
Is the bench so shallow that there are no new leaders with appropriate experience? I would hope not.
Oct 7 was not simply a failure of leadership, it was a betrayal of its citizens by its leaders!
Exactly right. Step back and you see how horrific it is that almost the entire leadership class put (a cowardly) going along with the mob ahead of recognizing an existential threat. Especially galling given that every officer was probably drilled on the exact same failures that led to the Yom Kippur war.
Regarding the segment on J.D. Vance, stop trying to make ‘J.D. Vance is acktually a secret friend to the Jews’ happen—it’s not going to happen. At this point, there’s too much solid contradictory evidence.

Great contextual journalism.

So now you believe Ha'aretz? Shame on you.
