Columnist Criticizes Senior Officer's Handling of Post-October 7th Responsibilities

Columnist Ben Caspit strongly criticizes a senior officer, identified as the son of Yaakov Amidror, for his perceived failures in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks. Caspit argues the officer exhibited "terrible blindness," "hubris," and "unbelievable arrogance," comparing his attitude to that seen 50 years prior. Instead of taking responsibility, apologizing to families, resigning, and returning his rank after the disaster, the officer allegedly became entrenched in a personal battle over his pension.

Caspit labels this pension fight as disgraceful, transforming a mistaken officer into one devoid of shame or self-awareness. He suggests this behavior mirrors that of the "ultimate responsible party," who has been attempting a similar deflection of responsibility for three years. The columnist asserts that the junior officer's attempt to evade accountability has failed.

Caspit concludes by urging readers to ensure that the "ultimate responsible party," who he claims shifts blame onto others, also fails. He emphasizes this call to action is for the sake of the victims of October 7th, including the murdered, killed, kidnapped, and wounded, and for the benefit of all Israelis.
