Netanyahu lied and lied again to escape his responsibility for October 7th
JVL Introduction
Michael Hauser Tov is clear:
Netanyahu has manipulated the facts, lied, and presented half-truths in what he presented to the public.
This behaviour will shock no one, Netanyahu gets his headlines and the careful comparison of his words with the contemporaneous documentation which discloses the mendacity, comes later and attracts much less attention.
The hard work of investigation may seem a useless task but laying out the scale of the fraud is a valuable public service and we must hope that it will count in the long run.
Of course this article only covers the way Netanyahu lies to attempt to avoid being held responsible for the pain caused to Israelis. It does not attempt to deal with the lying over a period of two years to try to deny war crimes in Gaza and justify genocide.

Haaretz Fact-check: Meeting Protocols Show Netanyahu's Lies and Deceptions About October 7
Minutes reviewed by Haaretz prove that Netanyahu lied, distorted and omitted facts in his version of the events of October 7 and the decision-making that led to the intelligence failure, which he published in a 55-page declassified document.

From Mishlei, the Book of Proverbs:
Pr 12.17: An honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies
Pr. 12.19: Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
Pr. 12.22: The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.
Pr. 21.6: A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.
All of which demonstrate that Netanyahu has no more respect for the Judaism he is so dedicated to defending then do either the Devil or Donald Trump have for Christianity.
