Dana Zarmon, like many others, could not hide the storm of emotions and anger she was in when she was exposed to a tweet by the prime minister who claimed that he had not received any warnings from the Shin Bet and the head of Military Intelligence about the massacre that took place on October 7.
"It is impossible to wake up this morning and not wonder how Mr. Prime Minister, nicknamed 'Mr. Security,' whose election slogan is 'strong against Hamas,' finds the time to blatantly blame and reject the army and security personnel who have no life for three weeks just to bring life back to our home. After he made statements that 'this is not the time to look for culprits,'" Zarmon wrote at the beginning of her remarks.

She later addressed him directly. "Mr. Prime Minister, you are to blame. Maybe not the only one, but you're completely in their heads. You've been at the head of this country for 15 years, you're running it and you're supposed to oversee it, on all sides. You are the commander. And it's very convenient for you to mention that when times are good. But what happens in such horrific times? In the biggest security and political failure here? Suddenly you have no power or influence or knowledge about what is happening in your country? You're not only a liar, you're also very dangerous."
Finally, she addressed Netanyahu's supporters and conveyed an important message from her point of view. "And forgive me anyone who feels the need to advocate for him right now – open your eyes and see what's going on around you. Believe it or not, you are allowed to criticize Mr. Bibi as well. You are allowed to be disappointed in him and it is permissible and even desirable that you want better than him. For the future of you and the families in this country."
