9. I was furious after seeing October 7 carnage

Now I see it's not just Hamas who benefits.

And I seem to recall reading that Netanyahu had moved most of Israels security force away from the Gaza border.

To wit -

"In the early hours of Saturday, October 7, Israelis living near the border with Gaza awoke to the sounds of Hamas fighters killing and kidnapping their neighbors. As the hours stretched on and they hid, terrified, their frantic text messages contained versions of this question: where is the army?

To answer that question, we need to travel to the West Bank.

Watch the video above to better understand how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s obsessive focus on the West Bank has left Israelis everywhere vulnerable."
