SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot does a roll call of those opposed to an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities: „The President of the State, the former and present IDF Chiefs of Staff, the former and present Commander of the IDF Planning Directorate, the former and present Air Force Commanders, the former and present Mossad Directors, the former and present ISA Directors. God save us, what do they know that we don’t?”
Ma’ariv says that, „It is possible to blame all of the generals who oppose an attack in Iran of covering their asses, and it is possible to call the media Leftist, but it is also possible to understand that you erred
and to stop.” The author suggests that, „Netanyahu’s media tactics on the Iranian matter have exploded in his face. Is it not worthwhile internalizing it, to stop and to start walking in another direction?”
Yisrael Hayom believes that „We have gone mad, and we must stop. In the past weeks, more and more analysts, who haven’t the slightest idea, delving into psychological analyses, if what motivates Netanyahu and Barak regarding Iran is an addiction to action, political interests or an inherited psychological configuration. And it is all being conducted as if in the utmost seriousness and as if in the height of intellectualness. And in all honesty
all one big systemic folly. Because only one matter is not being discussed: Is there even a chance that they are right? And in the meantime, Iran gallops towards a bomb.”
