These days, the 8200 alumni association, which has thousands of graduates across the country, held an alumni meeting in Haifa. The meeting, in the spirit of the title "In Haifa remembers", was held at the "Haderim" center next to the Reali school in the estate on the initiative of Moshe Gan-Zvi.
At the meeting, the same discount Eran Dubovi, about 70 companies and members of the association participated, during which a film prepared by the alumni association, named after the unit in the early days of the state (S.M. 2 - Shrout Modi'in 2) was screened.
After the film there was a discussion about the October 1973 war and the intelligence failure in starting the 'Iron Swords' war. The discussion was moderated by Noam Shapira, head of the heritage field at the association.

At that time, the 8200 unit was very valuable. They worked in the unit more than the Mizrach witnesses who spoke and wrote Arabic at a high level. There were no leaks or betrayals. A thousand times higher level than 8200 today. Who do not know Arabic at a high level.
I once had contact with one of the 8200 graduates and he told me what really happened in the Yom Kippur War and what is known as the 'intelligence failure'; I assume that this is not what was discussed at the said conference of some of the 8200 graduates, and I have nothing and nothing against them, except that they are busy with the wrong narrative, if you will, with the wrong 'concept' regarding the matter of the Yom Kippur War - really about the Yom Kippur War and the so-called 'Modini failure' It happened that no one is ready, even today, to interfere, even though there were attempts to do so; Did the same thing happen in the October 7 disaster? The chance of being able to find out, in other words, what really happened on October 7? it is small; On the face of it, according to the gut feelings and the findings from what happened on October 7, it could be that the operating mechanism was similar (clearly not the same) - it is worrying, it is not good, most likely the public will not know the truth, perhaps only a few, with the exception of those who managed all The thing is, I wish I was fooled and it's just a bad gut feeling.
Hope the graduates are different from those who serve today in 8200
Leftists who betrayed the country on the Black Saturday of 7/10
Dear Tami Mikel, it is important not to make generalizations. In unit 8200, as far as I heard there are more than 2 or 3 soldiers. Some of them are leftists, most probably some of them have done serious things and maybe they are even 'traitors', some of them are leftists - one thing I am sure of - the great majority of them are soldiers and female soldiers - human beings - loyal to the Jewish state, their country and their homeland and they are making efforts, even before October 7 And after that to realize their vocation and role - so in no case should generalizations be made, and still everyone can make a mistake - and certainly everyone made a mistake; The many soldiers in unit 8200 also have commanders, including senior commanders and they are all human; It is clear that the events of October 7th would not have happened if commanders, especially senior ones, in unit 8200 had acted differently; Certainly and certainly some of the commanders in unit 8200 and possibly no small part of its soldiers were not made of the right stuff and should not have been appointed and served in their position and it doesn't matter if the nicknames you gave are correct or not. Indeed, in unit 8200 there were scandals that should not have happened - there were too many and/or too senior people who got the wrong position and those who appointed them were also wrong; Indeed, a problem, complex and difficult.
Dear Tammy, I would just like to add another background; At the time, near the establishment of the state, there was a great and strong power, the Soviet Union, which had an influence on the region and also on the socialist state that was established, the State of Israel. The Soviet Union employed many agents and spies in Israel and had a certain sympathy among small sections of the public who considered themselves communists who worshiped the one they called the 'Sun of the Nations', aka the righteous one in their eyes - Joseph Stalin - some of them even owned shacks in which they accumulated weapons and means of warfare in order to carry out a coup d'état and seize power - all of them as fools and delusional who lost their Jewish identity and harassed their people and country, later most of them opened up; Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion was aware of the problem and managed to deal with it, with God's help. Since then, as the cliché says, 'a lot of water has passed in Jordan'; However, the Jordan is partially dry and the flow in it is not as it used to be, the Soviet Union no longer exists, at least not in the same format, there are no longer any worshipers of the 'Sun of the Nations' who later turned out to be a strong leader - a master chef - that few of the leaders were responsible for such great death and suffering Lou - although he was not number 1 in this regard. Another strong influence arose - the United States (and there are also additional influences of anti-Semites from the European Union, and today we are more and more aware of the influence of the main financier and generator of terrorism in the world, especially against Israel - it is Qatar - which some of the influential factors in Israel feed on and rely on); The American influence (the Biden administration is leading its conduct today) and it itself obeys the 'Muslim Brotherhood' who are among the biggest perpetrators of terrorism in the world, mainly against Israel, and Hamas is a part of them; The United States began to mobilize support and agents inside Israel and not from today. Already in the 80s of the last century, the United States or in fact its agents found themselves intervening and influencing Israel's wars and the Israeli security system; The impact has been devastating over the years and October 7th is a public indication of conduct subject to external influences and the loss of a significant part of the country's Jewish character - and it is only one of many indications of what has been going on here for decades - especially since the disaster of the Oslo Accords - and you are indeed right - we must address the matter If we are objects of life. greetings
