Intelligence

I'm trying to understand what I just saw on television.

Apparently Israeli intelligence had the battle plan (in detail) of the Hamas attack about a year in advance. And the suits were warned when the opening stages of the attack went into motion. But Israeli intelligence leadership dismissed all that. 

The political leadership likely knew about the plan. Yet, according to The NY Times, Netanyahu moved his military away from the Hamas attack site and sent them to the West Bank instead. 

The result was an unchecked, catastrophic onslaught of torture, rape and murder. 1200 defenseless civilians killed one at a time by Hamas. 

The failure needs investigation now.

And Israel needs new leadership.
