  • Ami Ayalon, former Shin Bet head says that in the wake of October 7 attacks, "everything collapsed" in Israel's understanding of itself and the world and that "it is in our hands to change the perspective" for the future.
    He appeals to the leaders of the US, UK and the international community: “This is your role to help us if you really care about us. Yes, tell us our mistakes, but tell Palestinians their mistakes and help us to see each other.”
    The former intelligence chief added, "we are not at war with the Palestinians," and again renewed support for a two-state solution.

After all, if human life trumps any cause, then they should be applying the same pressure to Hamas as they do to Israel for a world-wide audience.

      There probably are some Palestinian civilians who have given intelligence information to the Israelis. And they aren't going to admit to that publicly because Hamas would almost certainly carry out a horrific reprisal against them and their families.
      As for those who don't give information to the Israelis, the logical answer is that many of those who might otherwise be inclined to do so might be afraid of reprisal, might not have a way to contact the Israelis (especially not without being witnessed doing so), and might not have any useful information.

      It is a cruel fact that as Hamas is a government (of sorts), a ruling body, a non-state entity, and a terrorist organization all rolled into one, it doesn't answer to anyone even if it's using it's own people as cannon fodder. But as a nation-state and a democracy, Israel is held accountable and is expected to uphold international law (rightly so!). Assymetry in every sense of the word.

      Seems that simple at first glance, but when you realize same commander should dismantle thousands of traps waiting for his ground troops because enemy didn't do oct. 7 without preparing defenses for retaliation. So if you don't bomb those defenses you are sending your ground troops into a bunch of traps, then weigh the potential loses of your troops against potential civilians on the enemy side, that's where the real moral math comes into play, they have to decide fast, before the military assets are moved. Without knowing intelligence that commander has it's very easy for us to sit and judge. Sad reality is that most countries with similar military capability would do something very similar (and have done). If someone claims they can do better, they probably have never even tried.

    but I can't comprehend the fact of ~15k civilians are killed...this is way too much . how many fighters/terrorists were created by killing of all these innocent people?
    the only way is a political solution . but sadly you has Abbas and the PA in the West bank and you built settlements in their future land .
    Can a future Israeli gov force a relocating of the settlers beyond the land of the West bank or trade land with the Palestinians?

      Men as reasonable if not more so tried to make the peace process work and failed. Israeli Labor Party, which founded Israel and dominated it politically for decades, banked enormous political capital into the peace process with the Palestinians. After Oslo they allowed the Palestinians to form their own government and gave them complete control of Gaza and large portions of the West Bank. Israel even tore down all the Israeli settlements in the Gaza strip. The Israeli Labor Party offered them numerous peace deals where the Palestinians could set up their own state and most of the land in the 1967 Border. In the last offer they even offered the Palestinians East Jerusalem which was a big issue of contention. The Palestinians refused all of them because they aren't interested in peace. Then the violently anti-Israeli Hamas was elected, a second Intifada was launched against Israel and a Civil War between the PLO and Hamas in the Palestinian Territories broke out. This destroyed any hope for peace among the Israeli public. The Israeli Labor party and the Left in general was politically decimated as a result of this failure and Netanyahu and his Likud party have ruled near continuously since. Focusing more on containment of the Palestinians and taking advantage of the situation to gain more land for Israeli settlers. The fundamental problem is that the Palestinians are just not interested in peace. No leadership change in Israel is going to work until there is a cultural change among the Palestinians.

      @@arak1973 What is fair exactly? I simply pointed out the Palestinians were offered a majority of the West Bank, all of Gaza and even some land concessions from the Israelis. In the 2008 proposal they were even offered most of East Jerusalem where as at Camp David they woyld only be allowed to set up their government there. The reason talks broke down was that the Palestinians wanted all of East Jerusalem, the 1967 borders and insisted on Right of Return which would decimate Israel demographically. Non of this is fair to Israel and jeopardizes their security and national integrity.
      The hard truth of the matter is that Israel has conquered the Palestinians and they could just dictate any terms they want to them, just as the allies did to Germany and Japan after World War II. The fact they offered that much would be a God send for any people so defeated. The problem is the Palestinians haven't accepted the fact they are beat. They're still fighting and holding out hope for victory. To them the purpose of peace negotiations isn't to establish a long standing peace, or even a Palestinian state. The PLO wasn't founded to opposs Egypt and Jordan who ruled over Gaza and the West Bank at the time. It was founded to end one particular country. Peace negotiations are meant to move pieces in place to advance the cause of ending their neighbor.

Ami is an outspoken former member of Israeli intelligence who validly criticizes every aspect of the PM's culpability in allowing the Hamas attack. It would surprise me if the interviewer is unaware of this but his questions repeatedly imply he thinks he is talking to Avigdor Lieberman or an ally of Netanyahu instead of the stark opposite. The interview could have been rich in substance if the interviewer had done better research or watched Ami speak with other journalists where his criticism of the Netanyahu government and policies is clear.
