On #ThisDayInHistory in 1973, Egypt and Syria made a last effort to regain lands taken in 1967, launching the #YomKippurWar. Below are the #ceasefire lines from that final Arab-Israeli War. To-day Israel ignored #Hamas accepting Trump's terms and bombed hell out of #Gaza again.
#YomKippurWar
So, Golda's War Diaries was pretty good! Considering almost every documentary is heavy on negativity about her, I'd heard that this would be some grand redemption of her legacy.
Well, it does have some big revelations about details of decisions, but she doesn't come up smelling of roses. Really, this was an exclusively war-focused film, her domestic agenda was unmentioned - and considering the title, fair enough!
It felt more like a story of Israel needing someone who could make the least worst decisions in a shitty situation where there were no good decisions, and Golda was the best option of a bad bunch. It achieved making this point by totally throwing Moshe Dayan under the bus, who is given less of the benefit of the doubt.
Worth a watch, for sure, but I feel it's unlikely to change any minds - although it might soften a few hearts.

I can't help but see parallels between this threat by the state of #Israel and the #YomKippurWar. Making threats like this and tying them to religious holidays is vile and wrong, even if the motive (freeing hostages) is good.

The Lessons #Israel Failed to Learn From the #YomKippurWar
when appointing (#FarRight politicos) Bezalel Smotrich & Itamar Ben-Gvir to key positions, while embracing a #ForeignPolicy that openly ignored the existence & #rights of #Palestinians.
#Netanyahu will certainly try to evade #responsibility & cast the blame on the heads of the army, Military #Intelligence & the Shin Bet #security service who, like their predecessors on the eve of the #YomKippurWar, saw a low probability of war w/their preparations for a #Hamas attack proving flawed.
- #Haaretz
Palestinians in #Gaza expressed disbelief at the infiltration into #Israel. "It is like a dream. I still can't believe it," said one Gaza shopkeeper.
The attack came a day after Israel marked the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war that brought the country to the verge of catastrophic defeat in a surprise attack by #Syria and #Egypt. #YomKippurWar

השיר 'ליל חניה' של אלתרמן נכתב על מלחמת הקוממיות. אבל באוניברסליות שלו מתאים לכל מלחמה, גם למלחמת יום הכיפורים שפרצה לפני 50 שנים.
שיר אלמותי.

The Yom Kippur war happened when I lived near Barksdale AFB. The C 5s flew over house, so low a model rocket would have landed in their wheel bays. The line of munitions going into the base stretched as far as the eye could see, including tanks. If my memory serves, they were M 41 Walker Bulldogs. But I have never heard of Israel ever receiving M 41s. So what happened to them? #yomkippurwar #ramadanwar #Coldwar
