Three years after the October 7 attacks, commentator Michael Lewis has released a video on social media fiercely criticizing the country's leadership. Lewis stated that to date, no one has taken responsibility for the events, nor has an investigative committee been formed, yet the same individuals continue to dictate the national agenda.
Addressing his followers participating in memorial events, Lewis urged them to be vigilant. "I ask you, today, at your commemorations, look right, left, up, and down and understand that there is no leadership here," he declared. "This country is collapsing and disintegrating. The people are the only thing holding this country together."
Lewis also warned about the future political implications, stating that failure to elect the right leaders in the next elections could lead to further October 7-style disasters. He reiterated his call for remembrance of the fallen, coupled with a clear understanding of the failure. "Remember again, no one has taken responsibility. This alone should sink in very, very deeply," he urged.
Escalating his tone, Lewis directly accused those in power of responsibility for the "abhorrent murder and insane massacre" and "betrayal from within." He concluded by emphasizing that as long as the same people responsible for these failures remain in power, no accountability has been established, urging people to remember this message.
