Joe Scarborough Tears Into ‘Incompetent’ Benjamin Netanyahu, Declares Israeli PM ‘Responsible’ for October 7th Attack
Joe Scarborough demanded to know how long the U.S. will politically prop up Benjamin Netanyahu, going so far as to declare the Israeli prime minister “responsible” for October 7th because his leadership allowed the Hamas attack to happen.
Morning Joe discussed President Joe Biden’s warning to Israel that they risk losing international support for their campaign against Hamas because of their bombing of Gaza and the widespread killing of Palestinian civilians. As Biden calls for the Israeli government to change, Netanyahu has said that he and Biden are in “disagreement” over how Israel can reach a peaceful long-term solution in Gaza.
Mika Brzezinski tore into Netanyahu’s leadership before Hamas’ October 7th attack, wondering what the PM would do now to stay in power despite his massive unpopularity.
“This is exactly when they need new leadership,” Scarborough said, again referring to the reports that Israel knew of Hamas’ plans for over a year but thought they were beyond Hamas’ ability to carry out.
They need new leadership and the White House knows this. Because you have a guy whose politically existence has been centered around security. A guy who oversaw the greatest failure of intelligence in Israeli history, led to more deaths — because of his Intel failure — of Jews at any time since the holocaust. He knew that this attack was coming for a year. They had the plans, in his government, for the year! Written down how Hamas was going to do it! They knew this was coming for a year!
After slamming the money flow before October 7th that led from the Israeli government to Hamas, Scarborough declared Netanyahu “so incompetent” as he slammed the Israeli authorities for not reacting faster to Hamas’ attack.
You have a guy that allowed this to happen. It was on his watch. He asked Doha to fund Hamas. His government waited eight hours to go down and answer the calls of women being raped and children being gunned down. And he’s saying ‘We’ve got to get true through the war.’ No! He’s incompetent, and the Israelis don’t even like him. They want him out! The question is when are they going to get the guy responsible for the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust out and bring in responsible leadership that the United States can work with?
