Yes, but in this case, there's an element of truth to this. Bibi's been on the throne for a long time. He has made some powerful enemies, gotten himself into legal trouble. The last time he was elected, he had to share power with Benny Ganz, a pretty staunch Leftist. And of course, his most recent drama with trying to change the rules of the Israeli courts to shift power away from them and to the electorate has been... contentious. His approval ratings were poor heading into this attack. There's some merit to saying he really needed a unifying crisis when he got one. That's also why many think he knew the attack was coming and didn't stop it so he'd have an excuse to divert attention from his political troubles and clean out Gaza at the same time.
Wow. Why would ANYONE want to downvote this comment?
Whether one agrees with your conclusion or not, the comment itself furthers discussion and raises some points worthy of consideration.
Dang. I hate it when villagers on the board downvote just because something disagrees with their view. The real question should be, does this comment further the discussion? If so, then it deserves an upvote.
