With guys like this brokering peace deals you wonder why shit never gets fixed
And the idiot has been arrestedTurns out the Obama administration was his the fifth administration he worked at, and his last. Obama's first term was his last, not sure why.
Anyway, in NYC, locals supporting the vendor, first time I've seen a halal cart with a six top next to it.

They're hostages, you know, bargaining chips. When you are a government, you can call them whatever you like.Prison seems a bit harsh for the high level crime of flag carrying.
Honestly, how derelict Israeli intelligence was is up for discussion. What I do know, is that when you sit in that seat, with multiple inflows of info, trying to separate the wheat from the chaff, is not exactly simple.Further indications the IDF and government ignored clear warnings.

Hindsight is 20/20, but predicting what an adversary will do in real time, based on multiple, often flawed and often contradictory info flows, is no easy task, to put it mildly.
This is way worse than 1973.I think if they ignored multiple streams of intel indicating a possible attack and took no, even precautionary, preparations this is a fairly major fail. Not on 1973 level but certainly clear echoes of rather similar mistakes.
Frankly, given this specific situation (Hamas, Palestinians and Israel), it certainly isn’t nearly as difficult a situation as you may think. Certainly not at the level of gaining humint on the inner workings of the Duma or the CCP/NCP (Chinese communist party.Honestly, how derelict Israeli intelligence was is up for discussion.

Well, I'm certainly surprised this time!... you’d be very much surprised how well Israeli intelligence performs.
Grab your gun puffy and go get them! Maybe ask @imported_tajmahal for some hand grenades to chuck in the tunnels while you are there.Hamas should be smoked for taking Americans hostage. No Americans have been released yet. Time for JSOC to bring the pain to gaza and get our people back.
Absolutely agree. We missed warnings on 12/7/1941. Some intel info didn't go up the chain for some reason. We missed warnings on 9/11/2001. Our intel agencies didn't talk to each other. The different pieces of intel were siloed so we couldn't put it together. And, of course, there are many more examples. As with us, sometimes the information pipeline just breaks down - either due to human error or faulty systems. That said, some folks in the Shin Bet are going to be taken to the woodshed.Honestly, how derelict Israeli intelligence was is up for discussion.

We have at least one Seal team in place - who knows what else we have in place from JSOC. If needed for extraction - these guys know how to protect ours while coming down hard on anyone who tries to stop the (hammer vs nail and all that). It'll all about the available intel; and the Israelis' and Americans' doing their best not to harm the hostages. So, don't worry, our best are on it.Hamas should be smoked for taking Americans hostage. No Americans have been released yet. Time for JSOC to bring the pain to gaza and get our people back.
Thank you, KMFJD, for continuing here to drive home the point of Israeli subjugation of the Palestinian populace until I could not look away.
wow, probably will be arrested again after the ceasefire as has happened previously
The joy of the re-united families is something to see, pure happiness if only for a short time. Hamas has released 12 foreign workers that where abducted as well, they where not part of the deal but where released anyways. As much as we all hate twitter, it's ability to show and humanize Palestinians has been a god send for them and the tides of sympathy are turning for a lot of people, seeing them as humans who are no different than the rest of us.Thank you, KMFJD, for continuing here to drive home the point of Israeli subjugation of the Palestinian populace until I could not look away.
