Focusing only on the point about the timing of Gallants firing exactly when would you fire the top military brass if the war isn’t going as you, as leader, would like? If you know anything about the American civil war then you know that Lincoln fired five generals, in particular the much heralded General McLennan, before landing on Grant. And if he hadn’t we’d likely be living in a completely different world today. There are undoubtedly many other examples through time. You may disagree as Gallant did with bibis objectives but that’s neither here nor there. Whether Gallant is insubordinate or incompetent from Netanyahus perspective he had to go, the political dimension a sweetener.
Bibi fired him because he was too popular; supported a hostage deal; supported a universal draft. 70% of Israelis disagree w what Bibi did. Tonight’s polls. He did not do what was best for the country. Totally self interest. If u know anything about Israeli politics (I generally don’t condescend like that but I’m just matching your tone…re Lincoln), particularly under Netanyahu , you will know that he makes decisions of great import that disregard best interest of country. You think men in their 40s who have already done reserve for more than 200 days are gonna continue to volunteer? The rage over this decision is intense. Soldiers are fighting and dying. Netanyahu fired Gallant to appease the haredim. Nothing to do with principle. I don’t care what Lincoln did or did not do. The crisis in Israel is very different from what he had to deal with. You seem to think there’s something noble in what Netanyahu did.
