Bennett refuted claims that Iran&#8217;s attack was merely a\u200d display for its citizens. He \u2063disagreed with the Biden administration&#8217;s labeling of Israel&#8217;s\u2063 defense success as a &#8220;win,&#8221; stressing \u200bthe severity of the situation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday for trying to pressure Israel into not responding to Iran\u2019s unprecedented attack this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett\u2019s remarks on social media comes after Iran fired hundreds of projectiles \u2014 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones \u2014\u00a0at Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said that claims that Iran launched its attack as a show for its own people were false.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you shoot 350 flying objects timed to hit Israel at the same moment, when you use three fundamentally different weapon types \u2014 cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and UAVs, you\u2019re looking to penetrate Israel\u2019s defenses and kill Israelis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett directly pushed back against the Biden administration for telling Israel that it got a \u201cwin\u201d and that they should take the win. The \u201cwin,\u201d according to the Biden administration, was the fact that 99% of the projectiles were shot down by Israel and its allies in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, it\u2019s NOT a victory,\u201d Bennett wrote. \u201cWhen a bully tries to hit you 350 times and only succeeds seven time, you\u2019ve NOT won. You don\u2019t win wars just by intercepting your enemy\u2019s hits, nor do you deter it. Your enemy will just try harder with more and better weapons and methods next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that the only way to deter further aggression was by \u201cexacting a deeply painful price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said that the attack was a \u201cbig mistake\u201d by Iran \u2014 which he referred to as \u201ca terror-octopus whose head is Tehran, and its tentacles are in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsrael\u2019s strategic mistake for the past 30 years was to play along this strategy,\u201d he said. \u201cWe always fought the Octopus\u2019 arms, but hardly exacted a price from its Iranian head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should change now: Hezbollah or Hamas shoots a rocket at Israel? Tehran pays a price,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said that Israel\u2019s enemy was the Iran\u2019s oppressive government, not the citizens of the country, and that the country would eventually collapse in a similar manner as the Soviet Union did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be clear: if these crazy fanatic Islamic terrorists get away with murder by hiding among civilians, this method will be adopted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congressmen-across-the-board-demand-biden-respond-to-murderous-terrorist-attack-keep-americans-safe\/\" title=\"Congressmen Across The Board Demand Biden Respond To \u2018Murderous\u2019 Terrorist Attack, Keep Americans Safe\">terrorists worldwide<\/a>,\u201d he concluded. \u201cWe\u2019re not asking anyone to fight for us. We\u2019ll do the job. But we do expect our allies to have our back, especially when it\u2019s tough \u2014 and now it\u2019s tough.
