האנטומיה של קטסטרופה: עיוורון מכוון, יוהרה והכחשת טרור

הערכה

This opinion piece argues that the intelligence failure leading up to October 7 was not a lack of information but a cognitive failure: Israel believed a comforting falsehood about Hamas rather than confronting available warnings. The central stake is whether the security establishment and political leadership can break the pattern of wishful thinking that leaves a nation vulnerable to surprise attack. What bears watching is whether this analysis gains traction in official post-mortems or is dismissed as hindsight.
