  "account": "Menachem Begin, after surviving a ship bombardment, decided to transform military defeat into a moral victory. He twisted the facts, claiming his cargo on the arms ship he led to Tel Aviv in June 1948 consisted of \"10,000 aerial bombs.\" In reality, the cargo included only a fraction of what David Ben-Gurion had already secured through an extensive arms deal with Czechoslovakia. Similarly, Sara Netanyahu, in a recent statement, exaggerated Golan's actions during the October 7 events, suggesting he was already at the scene, dressed and ready, while others, including the prime minister, were unaware. This is akin to Begin's attempt to shift blame from his actions to others, demonstrating a pattern of denial and twisting facts.",
  "summary": "Sara Netanyahu's insinuation was as transparent as it was flabbergasting. Golan, according to this “conspiracism,” had advance information about the enemy’s invasion and was part of it.",
