The Israeli people (notice the adjective) are currently in a war on two fronts: Against Hamas, obviously, but also against our own government, which is MIA at best, mostly obstructing the urgent needs of a population and economy at war, and at times downright hostile:

Since the war broke out on Oct 7 our government, already humiliated by being caught with its pants down like that, has been shockingly conspicuous in its absence, abandoning its basic responsibility to ensure basic necessities not only to the populace, but even the troops,

troops amassed on the southern border since the week of Oct. 8 have been getting hot meals, socks and undies from Brothers and Sisters in Arms, whom you might remember as recently being called traitors by the PM’s poison machine, for their prominence in the protests against Netanyahu’s regime coup legislation (remember when that was the “Israel in unprecedented turmoil” news? Fun times).

Anyway, not only have Netanyahu and his toxic troupe of incompetents abandoned their basic responsibilities, they are also actively impeding and sabotaging the efforts of private, ad-hoc organizations to fill the void.

Examples are numerous, from the education minister ordering that licensed suppliers of education system content, who opened all their content free of charge for the benefit of students all around the country who can’t go to school – the ministry ordered these suppliers to put the paywall back up, even though many parents and educators were screaming that this was their only lifeline.

There are many other such examples, and meanwhile Welfare Ministry personnel are turning to Brothers and Sisters in Arms – remember them? The lefty traitors? – to obtain necessities for the thousands of displaced residents of the south, which Netanyahu’s government can’t seem to come up with.

All this, my dear and patient reader, was but a prelude for the sabotage outrage du jour.

The excellent Amir Tibon (the next Barak Ravid, to those of you who follow such things, and the son of the retired general whose heroics on Black Shabbat you may have heard of) reports in detail on Haaretz.com how the Netanyahu government apparently doesn’t give a good goddamn about freeing the 200 or so hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

How can we say this? Because when you’re appointed in charge of the hostages and missing persons issue by the Prime Minister, and you convene a meeting with the ambassadors of European countries, the expectation, however naive this may sound, is that you dedicate the meeting to finding out how various countries, with their various contacts with the enemy, can help as intermediaries in negotiations for the safe return of said hostages. But that’s not ret. Brig. Gen Gal Hirsch’s way. Nah.

This dumbfuck, who was the commander under whom Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were abducted, triggering the 2006 Lebanon War, convened the European ambassadors – all looking to help with bringing children, elderly, women, and their own nationals home – only to yell at them for their countries’ support for the Oslo Accords (back when they were all in college or thereabouts) and to tell them that their mission, once he finishes talking, is to “immediately call your leaders and tell them that they have to decide what side they’re on.”

The meaning of this conduct couldn’t be clearer: The PM and his circle and his government don’t give a flying fuck about the abductees. They would prefer that Hamas execute them all on live TV right now – much more fuel for the hate machine, and no more impediment to mass slaughter.

The government that deliberately weakened the defense of the south at the expense of the hills of Samaria is announcing it has no intention of mitigating the horrible damage its negligence and debunked conceptions have caused.

Simple conclusion:

The government of Israel’s Jews is acting as an enemy of, and is a clear and present danger to, all the people of the State of Israel. Every day Netanyahu and his cabal of malicious incompetence stay in power causes more damage that will take decades to repair.
