Why did the esteemed Israeli international security agency, Mossad, and Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet, ignore 3:00 am evidence that Hamas, a ruthless terrorist organization, was preparing to cross from Gaza into Israel? Where were the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and why did it take several hours to come to the assistance? Why weren't the exposed and vulnerable people of the kibbutzim protected? Did it ever occur to Prime Minister Netanyahu or anyone else serving in his regime that the ruthless brutality against Israeli victims was intended to elicit the very same vengeful and bloody response by the IDF? Open and blatant antisemitism has spread throughout the U.S. as never before with elite university campuses becoming scenes of violent protests causing the cancelation of numerous graduation ceremonies. What lessons should Israel have learned from the war in 1973, otherwise known as the Yom Kippur War? What changes must be made and enforced by Mossad and Shin Bet? What other lessons could be learned from this war?
