“Israel has been so prosperous and has been so normalized that I think there was a sense that this sort of horror was not possible, that they were set up such that they could catch anything that happened. … it is interesting to me that people who are the smartest at both intelligence and military intelligence in the world, in my opinion, essentially got caught looking the wrong way. I have no explanation other than they lost the sense that if you are a Jew, you are never normal. There’s always somebody trying to do horrible things to you. I think the incursion of Hamas should demonstrate that forever, I would think.” — Michael Gurri
