Walls Don't Work

I don't know the Times of Israel's point on the political compass, I haven't been able to detect it if they have one. While Haaretz I knew to be Israel's liberal media (they blame the Hamas Holocaust on Netanyahu) the Times here engages in an American football debate, the best defense is a best offense, that doesn't help me politico-locate them. It all began to go wrong back in the '60's with the purchase of the Hawk anti-missile system from the U.S. That's really what they say. Israel stopped playing the Air Raid vertical passing game in favor, eventually, of the Wall. It's easy (for me at least) to make fun of this argument, to employ this obvious (to me) metaphor, to spread the blame so thinly and so broadly over sixty years that there's no blame left. If you buy into the premise, offense over defense, then okay, you can splash the blame back to David Ben-Gurion or Levi Eshkol. Don't know why you'd want to do that besides you really, truly believe it, which is reason enough, but...where exactly does that put you on the political compass? It's a me thing, I'm just curious.
