Old Dog Old Tricks: Yadlin says Israel should make Hamas deal at any price
Dr. Aaron Lerner 28 August 2024

Major General res. Amos Yadlin, in his role as a talking head on Channel 12 TV in national emergencies, called for israel to immediately make a hostage deal.


Yadlin said that whatever concessions Israel makes to make the deal are “reversible” and that the Israeli security establishment will know what to do to prevent terrorists released in the deal from hurting Israelis.


It is important to note that Yadlin has been conscious for the last two decades and in fact served as the head of the top think tanks - INSS, and once headed Israel’s military intelligence.


Yadlin explained that Israel needed a ceasefire because America doesn’t support Israel taking action associated with a regional war (destroying the huge number of long and medium range rockets and guided missiles Hezbollah deployed in major urban areas in Lebanon north of the Litani River).


Why does Yadlin insult our intelligence?


1. We have already painfully learned of the human losses from the previous releases of terrorists who the security establishment proclaimed it “knew how to handle.”


2. We know that Egypt, either because it wants us weak or the bribe money reaches high enough, now denies that there were working smuggling tunnels and will most certainly adamantly oppose any return of the IDF to the Philadelphi Corridor when things inevitably go sour. The current and possibly future American administration would also most certainly do everything in its power to prevent us from returning.


3. The “mini preemptive strike” early this morning which Yadlin endorsed leaves Hezbollah with the huge number of long and medium range rockets and guided missiles Hezbollah deployed in major urban areas in Lebanon north of the Litani River while the Jewish State continues to deplete the inventory of interceptors we need in the event that Iran-Hezbollah decides to dramatically go beyond the ongoing escalating tit for tat.


Dear Reader: I don’t know if Netanyahu, following in Golda’s footsteps, is betting on Hezbollah’s having a success now which would compel America to support us destroying the long and medium range rockets and guided missiles Hezbollah deployed in major urban areas in Lebanon north of the Litani River.
