Analysis of Israeli Intelligence and Security

Suppose you're a head of state. Have you ever thought about that?

And, uh, all your intelligence services tell you, "Relax,

everything is fine in Gaza, they're responding well to the economic incentives.

They're becoming more moderate. They've become pragmatic. They're not interested in another round.

The problem is actually in Judea and Samaria." And they keep repeating to you

It's the head of Military Intelligence, the heads of Shin Bet and Mossad,

and they all tell you exactly the same thing.

Then let's say you get a call from MBZ, let's say you

get a call,

so you throw out everything all your experts are telling you?

Say, maybe we should ask how it is that the warning, if there was

a warning, which in Shlomi Eldar's report they know

reached Shin Bet first. Why didn't Shin Bet

change its assessment of the situation? Read what Ronen Bar said

a week before the massacre. "Everything is fine, we need to continue the economic concessions.

Don't worry, they'll become more moderate." Yes, they'll become more moderate.

The ones who became more moderate were the security services of the State of

Israel, the intelligence services. "More moderate" may not be the word, "atrophied" is

better.
