Netanyahu's Circle Blamed for Blaming Victims of Oct. 7

A columnist criticizes individuals close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who reportedly believe that victims of the October 7th attacks and the subsequent war should apologize to the Prime Minister, whom they see as having saved them. The author argues that this perspective is deeply concerning and indicative of a distorted reality. The piece asserts that Netanyahu consistently lies to instill fear, suggesting Israel was on the brink of annihilation and that he alone prevented it. The author counters that if Israel faced such a threat, Netanyahu would be solely responsible for failing to prevent it, given Israel's military strength.

Furthermore, the article refutes Netanyahu's claims that Iran possessed nuclear bombs, stating this is untrue and, if it were, would also make him culpable for failing to act during his tenure. The author contends that the very discussion of Israel's potential annihilation highlights the catastrophic failure of the "Mr. Security" figure, who allegedly allowed terrorist organizations to grow on Israel's borders while boasting of his capabilities. The piece emphasizes that the architect of the disaster, who promised to eliminate Hamas but acted otherwise, is primarily to blame.

The article also touches upon the issue of hostages, noting that some believe Netanyahu abandoned them. It dismisses the idea that victims should apologize to the person responsible for their suffering, characterizing Netanyahu as someone who consistently portrays himself as the victim, requiring apologies even after causing disaster or failing to fulfill promises. The author concludes that Netanyahu has failed not only the hostages but the entire country, a fact evident after 18 years of his leadership, and that the notion of him being the victim of October 7th warrants professional psychological evaluation.
