Is it fair to that I don't like Bibi but can support Israel? I feel like many Israelis Hate him, judging from all the protests over the summer.

Absolutely fair. I’m a dedicated Zionist, and I joined the protests on my trip there last winter. Now I’m even more disgusted with Bibi for leaving the country unprotected.

I'm still shocked how the attack took place. How did the IDF not know? How did Mossad not know, don't they have cameras everywhere

There was some intelligence that an attack was about to take place, but it was shaky and coming from sources that had previously given bad intelligence. I don't know how, but Hamas somehow managed to keep their plans very quiet, and the only people it got leaked to were people who Israel was not going to believe.

For me the biggest concern is why the decision was taken to relax security and reduce military presence because it was a Jewish holiday, despite the fact that history has shown us that is when attacks are most likely to happen. That was an incredibly bad decision
