Incredible that these things are said by an Israeli newspaper. This is actually not an anomaly, Israeli newspapers harshly criticize Netanyahu. In particular, Haretz shows more freedom than Italian newspapers which take sides and not freedom:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has returned to his evil ways, inciting and wreaking havoc. If in normal times this behavior poisons society and state systems, in times of war it puts Israel in existential danger.
It was reported on Sunday that Netanyahu believes calls earlier this year for military reservists to refuse to serve should be investigated as a possible factor in the decision by Hamas head in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, to launch the terrorist attack. on October 7.
There is no plausible explanation for the prime minister’s statements in the most difficult moments in the history of the state. Netanyahu is like the scorpion in the tale of the scorpion and the frog: it’s simply his nature.
An entire country is waking up to everything it believed in, and only Netanyahu – the father of the doctrine that fell apart on October 7, the head of Israel’s security, who has been prime minister for 12 of the last 14 years, who has refused the defense establishment’s repeated requests to stop the government’s coup, ignoring them with the contempt and arrogance of a Greek tragedy – he remained as he was: an angel of sabotage.
Apparently, 1,400 deaths were not enough for him, 240 hostages had no effect on him, thousands of Israelis became refugees in their own country and entire communities were destroyed: despite all this, he remains the same. As he always encourages, he thinks of himself, defends his place and only cares about his own future.
“Netanyahu plants a knife in the hearts of the fighters during the war. The entire nation – the army (excluding your children), and you alone continue to tear the nation apart,” the Brothers and Sisters in Arms organization said in response. There is no more precise way to describe what Netanyahu is doing.
And as in a usual ritual, once again it was the head of the National Unity Party, Minister Benny Gantz, who invited Netanyahu to retract his statement (“Escaping responsibility and throwing mud during the war is bad for the country ”, he tweeted “The Prime Minister must clearly and unequivocally retract his words”); and again Netanyahu “retracted” and tweeted: “Hamas started a war against us because they want to kill us all and not because of some discussion within us.” He doesn’t mind retracing his steps. After all, the poison is already in the air and the contagion chain is already at its peak.
Netanyahu is interfering with the defense of the state from the disaster that he, in his indescribable nihilism, has caused it. His behavior at this difficult time adds insult to injury. We must not get used to this pattern of unhealthy wartime behavior. We must not allow him to remain in power as if it were a divine decree. The political establishment must find a way to end Netanyahu’s malign rule. The price Israel will pay for the continuation of his kingdom is too high.
