Trump Says Netanyahu Deserves Criticism For October 7th

Yeah. Do you think it's time for him to go?

Trump: Well, I had a bad experience with Bibi. And it had to do with Soleimani, because as you probably know by now, he dropped out just before the attack. And I said, “What's that all about?” Because that was going to be a joint and all of a sudden, we were told that Israel was not doing it. And I was not happy about that. That was something I never forgot. And it showed me something. I would say that what happened on—the October 7 should have never happened.

It happened on his watch.

Trump: No, it happened on his watch. And I think it's had a profound impact on him, despite everything. Because people said that shouldn't have happened. They have the most sophisticated equipment. They had—everything was there to stop that. And a lot of people knew about it, you know, thousands and thousands of people knew about it, but Israel didn't know about it, and I think he's being blamed for that very strongly, being blamed. And now you have the hostage situation—

Do you think—

Trump: And I will say this, Bibi Netanyahu rightfully has been criticized for what took place on October 7.

Netanyahu allowed October 7th to happen.

Because obviously it's all Netanyahu's fault for not being able to predict the future and stop the attack before it happened.

And let's not forget that Trump is saying this while he's in the midst of his own legal troubles, so it's not like he's some kind of moral authority on the matter.

 @AdventurousAntelopeLibertarian from Illinois disagreed…3wks3W

They had data and plans of the attack before lt happened.

 @FinickyEqu4lRightsRepublican from Florida disagreed…3wks3W

Israel had intel and plans of said attacks for months leading up to it…

If informed thousands knew about the event in advance but failed to prevent it, does it indicate a failure of intelligence, leadership, or both?

 @9LZ93HCSocialist from North Carolina answered…3wks3W

both if the informed group is one of power and didn't attempt to stop it or at the least curb it then it is in fact both. What Netanyahu did and what he is currently doing is a war crime. the appropriate response was given and now it is genocide

Do you believe political leaders should always bear the responsibility for actions that occur under their watch, even if they claim to have had no knowledge of them?

Yes they are the leader of our country and anything that involves us should fall on them.
