7/7 🕯️ Today, "Shovakh Yonim" stands as a chilling reminder of how innocence can be shattered. A song about a safe home became the name of a plan that left the home vulnerable. We remember the "doves" who never came back to the dovecote.

#Israel #YomKippurWar

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.

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.
