MY DEPRESSION AND MOURNING HAS JUST TURNED TO R A G E ! ACCOUNTABILITY! Are we paying attention? If this were a corporation, we would immediately fire our CEO (PM) and Project Manager (Min. of Def.) for endangering lives of our soldiers beyond what they stated would be necessary! Times of Israel quotes, on July 21 (today is July 24): On Sunday, Ya’alon promised in a nationally televised address that most of the tunnels used by Hamas “will be destroyed in the next two or three days.” Now, today (July 24) were being told it will take 10 more days or two weeks! In two weeks (August 7), WILL WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR SUCH STATEMENTS? WILL WE DEMAND ACCURATE ESTIMATIONS BEFORE WE CONTINUE TO ENDANGER OUR SONS, GRANDSONS, BROTHERS, OR FATHERS FOR LONGER PERIODS? HOW CAN WE CALCULATE THE COST OF OUR ACTIONS? HOW CAN WE BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR RESPONSIBILITY? FOR HOW LONG? timesofisrael/netanyahu-gaza-op-wont-stop-until-quiet-returns/#ixzz38MDakuVj Our leaders have the responsibility of not only protecting us, but also for making responsible statements and not lying to us and the world. This tactic is all too familiar, if we remember being told in 1982 that we would be going into Lebanon for 48 hours, which got updated in real time to: - only as far as the Litani - only two weeks - only to the entrances to Beirut - only east Beirut - and so on, after we reentered and took all of Beirut By 2000 (1 8 y e a r s l a t e r), when we left Lebanon, 931 IDF soldiers were killed there. 931! Today at 5 pm on Kibbutz Evron, I will have to look directly into the eyes of the parents, lover, and friends of Paz Eliyahu, zl and join them in their mourning, as I predicted someone would have to do only the day before yesterday. We were supposed to have destroyed most of the tunnels used by Hamas by today! Is our Hi-Tech nation so incapable of proper planning, or making more responsible statements to our citizens and parents of soldiers? Is our military intelligence so far off each time as to keep our soldiers in danger FAR beyond what they tell us? WHY? When will we demand truth, transparency, and accurate statements of estimated risk BEFORE we all just agree to go along? ENOUGH!
