Netanyahu, Conscience, and October 7



Before the next Knesset elections, in the article “When conscience is silent” (1), I warned voters about a possible mistake, referring to Netanyahu. Let me quote an excerpt from that article:
“As is known, the People need their servants only during the one month preceding the elections to the Knesset.
They say about us that every nation has the government it deserves. And don’t doubt for a minute that this is not so! It is thanks to us, the voters, that criminal elements, deceivers and liars found themselves in the Knesset. It is thanks to the voters that the Knesset does not exist for parliamentarians to work in it, because for the most part it is empty, but has turned, like Paradise, into a lifelong abode for them. Yes, they have found Paradise here in the Knesset, and maybe this is the reason for the uncleanliness of the people’s representatives; they no longer need to take care of their souls if they are already in Paradise. This is especially noticeable among representatives of religious parties, who seem to be supposed to take care of the soul by virtue of their position. And the fact that most of the deputies ended up in prison from among them is nothing other than the machinations of Satan, who is known for his partiality towards God’s servants.
It was only thanks to the voters that nepotism and corruption flourished in the Knesset.
Citizens of Israel, don’t you see that over many years of continuous care for you, the family roots of your deputies have grown so deeply into the foundation of the Knesset that if you start to uproot them, the very building of the Knesset will collapse. It’s probably easier to build a new building than to carry out such a thankless and painstaking job of clearing it of weeds.”

“... is it worthwhile to understand all this before the elections itself, to appeal to the conscience of the deputies, because we should not ask them, but ourselves, why this is happening. Do not turn to the conscience of others, turn rather to your own conscience, it will not deceive you.
Conscience, this difficult-to-explain thing, is more significant than Love and Faith. This is what makes us blush when we are crafty. It may happen that before the law you will be pure and impeccable; laws, after all, are created by people. You can bypass the law, but Conscience - never. You can make a deal with Faith, Love, but not with Conscience. People have different thoughts, different views, but there is no different Conscience. This is a misconception, it is the same for everyone. Conscience is patiently silent if you do not address it, because it is not she who needs you, it is you who needs her. If you do not want to turn to it, having driven it deep into yourself, then when it gets out, it will incinerate your soul like a volcano, turning the last moments of life into an unbearable Hell, which may be the same Hell that people are afraid of. Conscience is the substance that will give you the final score before going into oblivion, decide to leave a good memory of you or consign you to oblivion. Conscience is God in ourselves.
A person who lives in harmony with Conscience is always open to people, he has nothing to hide. People are involuntarily drawn to this. Find them.
Before you cast your vote, look into the eyes of your chosen one, so that it does not turn out that you have elected to parliament a person with the most sly look in all of Israel, who will not try to deceive you again. Do not act rashly, do not make a deal with your Conscience.

I’m not a religious person, although I’m not a materialist, and this is not a sermon, this is just my view of the situation in which we all found ourselves on the eve of the elections.”


It is known that the Constitution long promised to the people of Israel with a clear separation of all three branches of power, legislative, executive and judicial, as well as with the indispensable separation of the Faith from the state, as required by Democracy, did not take place for a demographic reason, namely the unresolved issue with the Palestinians, who are formally within the state borders of Israel. Such an abnormal situation for a country that deceptively positions itself as democratic and with a flawed election system inevitably leads to the emergence in power of unprincipled and cynical people who are forced to deal with issues very far from those that they declare in their election programs. In this regard, Netanyahu, of course, turned out to be unsurpassed in the art of political intrigue.

If at the origins of the emergence of Israel in a hostile environment in power stood such strong personalities as David Ben Gurion and Golda Meir, guided by the famous saying “It doesn’t matter what the goyim say, it’s important what the Jews do,” then over time, when Israel increasingly fell into dependence on the United States, and therefore forced to reckon with an overseas ally and patron, the need for such leaders has disappeared. Confidence in its safety from external enemies lulled Israel's vigilance towards internal enemies, which, it is true, had to be pacified from time to time, which became an inevitable, habitual tradition for the country, but which, as it turned out, turned out to be mortally dangerous.
Everything changed on October 7, Israel was shocked by an unprecedented terrorist attack, more than 2,500 Hamas militants freely penetrated from Gaza into the border kibbutzim and the city of Sderot, brutally killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 242 hostages. The attack was accompanied by a massive bombardment of missiles and drones into Israel. For Netanyahu, always busy with quarrelsome internal coalition squabbles, what happened was a complete surprise, which was the reason for the failure of the country’s political leadership and the army command dependent on it, whose response actions were not timely, which ultimately led to such a large number of victims.

There are no words, Netanyahu’s guilt is undeniable, but we must not forget that precisely, as I said, the vicious system of power needed people like Netanyahu, who were well versed in the current conditions, but were not capable of solving global vital government tasks. Netanyahu, who has set his sights on the unattainable end to Hamas at once, does not seem to know how to do this, considering that every Palestinian is a potential Hamas member, including, to be honest, children, and most importantly, Netanyahu does not find an answer to the question of what to do with Gaza after the war.

The war in Gaza has been going on for half a year and is accompanied by a large number of civilian casualties, which causes outrage among the international community. The convened UN Security Council calls on Israel to immediately cease hostilities. Moreover, America, which has always turned a blind eye to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory, suddenly spoke out about the creation of a Palestinian state as the only way to end the Arab-Israeli conflict that has lasted for 75 years.(2) This is truly a stab in the back of Israeli politicians, who even in a bad dream could not imagine an independent state of Palestine. From all that has happened, one can come to a very unexpected conclusion - thanks to the terrorist organization Hamas, a state called Palestine will be created.
If this happens, Netanyahu will have a difficult explanation with the parents of the soldiers who died in vain. How can one not recall the words of Golda Meir: “A man who loses his conscience loses all.”

Biden condemned Netanyahu's actions in Gaza. In Israel itself, many people went out to demonstrate against Netanyahu’s policies. The likelihood that Netanyahu will have to resign is high.

The Regime has shown no willingness or ability to say no to Israel...they are the tail that wags the dog so far....and there is zero evidence that this will change.
 
Netanyahu is dragging his feet on negotiations in the hope that Trump, who he believes is more favorable to Israel, will become president and then Israel will crush Hamas.
 
The Secretary of the Israeli Security Council is against a truce with Hezbollah, believing that only a complete victory over this organization can end the war. I wonder what he considers a complete victory? Is it the occupation of Lebanon? But the fact is that the complete occupation of Palestine did not put an end to the resistance of the Palestinians. Or maybe he considers a complete victory the murder of all those who oppose Israel's policy, which is to prevent the Palestinians from creating their own state.

Hamas doesn't want their own state they want to destroy Israel.

Yes, occupation is the only solution; yes killing everyone who tries to kill you is the only solution.

Prolonged war is almost always worse. Enough rockets. Enough starving children. Going for total victory is the only moral course for Israel.
 
It is well known that the Israelis knew all about the Hamas plan, and had a good idea of the date...they let it happened....and then killed over half the people who died Oct 7/8.
