	Shmuel Gonen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shmuel Gonen (né Gorodish; 1930-30 September 1991) was Chief of the Southern Command of the Israel Defense Forces during the Yom Kippur War.
		Gonen's response to the Egyptian attack during the Yom Kippur War and his actions during the first days of fighting (culminating in the disaster attack on Hizayon on October 8) was deemed a failure by the army's General Staff, and he was replaced on 10 October by Chaim Bar-Lev.
		Gonen believed Dayan to be responsible for his disgrace and would tell reporters that he had considered walking into Dayan's office and shooting him.

	Yom Kippur War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On October 8, Shmuel Gonen, commander of the Israeli Southern front—who had only taken the position 3 months before at the retirement of Ariel Sharon—ordered a counterattack by Gabi Amir's brigade against entrenched Egyptian forces at Hizayon, where approaching tanks could be easily destroyed by Saggers fired from the Egyptian ramp.
		Because it was considered dangerous to morale to replace the front commander during the middle of a battle, rather than being sacked Gonen was made chief-of-staff to the newly appointed Bar-Lev.
		Shmuel Gonen, commander of the Southern front, was recommended by the initial report to be relieved of active duty (Rabinovich, 502).

		Gonen, who died several years ago, had entrusted the tapes to two of his wireless operators during the war, Amir Porat and Yitzhak Rubinstein.
		Gonen was singled out by the Agranat Inquiry Commission, which was appointed to investigate the war, as one of the officers responsible for the fact that Israel was caught unprepared by the invading Egyptian army.
		Gonen reportedly dropped his assassination plan after he saw that Dayan received bad press in connection with the war.

		These two adjoining quarters, Kiryat Shmuel and Katamon (or Gonen as it is named in Hebrew), were established during the British Mandate period and developed alongside - and as copies of - the more veteran neighborhoods of Rehavia and Talbieh.
		The copy however, was inferior to the original: as Kiryat Shmuel developed, it deviated from the original plan of a Jewish garden suburb, and Katamon could not match the prestige and status of Talbieh as an Arab upper-class neighborhood.
		The Kiryat Shmuel Quarter In 1926 a society was founded in Jerusalem with the aim of setting up a new neighborhood to be named after Rabbi Samuel Salant, the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of the city in 1878-1909.

		Gonen then informed him that he was thinking of linking up with the forts, and of crossing the canal.
		Gonen, who finally realized that he was nearer defeat than victory, turned Sharon back to give support to Adan's endangered left flank.
		Gonen was not in an enviable position with subordinates of the ilk of Adan and Sharon.

		He proposed capturing an Egyptian bridge and crossing the canal even though he had lost two-thirds of an armored division in the first 12 hours of fighting and had no response for the revolutionary tactics being employed by the Egyptian infantry to stop Israel's armored charges dead in their tracks.
		Instead, he ordered Gonen to carry out limited attacks against the Egyptian bridgeheads in Sinai, and not to attempt a crossing until the situation became clearer.
		Gonen would deviate from this sound policy and engage in a grotesquely botched battle that set Israel back even further.

		The tapes were made by Yitzhak Rubinstein, Gonen's radio man in 1973, who stored them in his attic after the war.
		Rubinstein, the radio man, said Gonen ordered him to make tapes, fearing he would be scapegoated for the war setbacks.

		Their Interim Report, released on 1 April 1974, caused a stir in the country by placing the onus of responsibility on Chief of Staff David Elazar, the Chief of Military Intelligence General Eli Zeira, and the Chief of the Southern Command General Shmuel Gonen.
		The Report determined that they failed to prepare the Israel Defense Forces for war and for the operations and intelligence failures in the days and months leading up to the war, which led to disastrous results.
		Although she was vindicated by the report, Golda Meir herself resigned one month later in response to public pressure.

		Schiff argued that the commission in practice did not allow Shmuel Gonen, who was the head of Southern Command when the war broke out, to defend himself against the accusations that were leveled at him.
		Gonen petitioned the High Court of Justice twice, but his petitions were rejected.
		In retrospect, it is clear that the commission's most serious methodological mistake derived from the limited mandate it received.

		Developed by Shmuel Gonen, an active inventor with many interests, the preparation has been found effective for as many as 80 percent of participants - both men and women - in controlled tests.

		Shmuel Sharabi, an elderly candy-store owner who claimed to "know the Arab mentality," said he didn't take the vote seriously.

		With the arrival of the reserve divisions, Gonen told him, it would be possible to drive the Egyptians out of Sinai and perhaps to cross to the West Bank as well.
		Annoyed at Gonen’s easy optimism, Dayan told him that top priority must be given to forming a fallback line that could be held if the current front crumbled.
		In the crowded war room at Southern Command headquarters, Gonen, the former yeshiva student, quoted to those around him an obscure phrase from the Talmud that contrasted the sweetly scented world of the spice merchant with the malodorous leather trade: "The world cannot function without perfumes and without tanneries.

		Incredibly enough, Gen. Shmuel Gonen, the commander of Israel’s southern front, dismissed Egypt’s canal crossing, a stellar feat, as a failure.
		Gonen’s faulty conclusion was in keeping with Israel’s arrogant underestimation of its adversaries.
		On the Golan, the Syrians achieved a stunning breakthrough, even though Israel had acquired Syria’s updated war plan a week before Yom Kippur.

		Later, when the public was looking for a scapegoat for the terrible initial defeat, the main blame was put on Gorodish.

	Ha'aretz - Article
		Although the chief of staff in 1973, David Elazar, is usually portrayed as an unfair victim of the events, which he was only in comparison to Meir and Dayan (and even that only for a few weeks, until their coerced resignations), he easily outmaneuvered Dayan and landed the first blow in the duel between them.
		The IDF History Department supports Elazar in his dispute with the head of Southern Command in October 1973, Shmuel Gonen-Gorodish, but is unsparing in its criticism of "Dado," the 1978 biography of Elazar by Hanoch Bartov, which has just been reissued in an expanded edition.
		The History Department avoids handing out grades to the Agranat Commission report - had it done so, it would have given it quite a high grade - making do with incidental remarks.

		For security reasons the IDF has always kept a close hold on identities - traditionally those in certain operations would be identified only by rank and first name or initial - pilots faces were never shown in still or video images.
		Even in the book The Tanks of Tammuz which came out after the Six Day War, 7th Armored Brigade commander Colonel Shmuel Gonen is only called "Colonel Shmuel," of course at that level it's no big secret, anyways pilots idents have always been very restricted.
		We started doing the same some years ago, for example a reporter on a carrier often would refer to a pilot only by rank and first name...makes sense really, there are enough "normal" crazies around let alone real ones!

		Chief of Staff Dado Elazar thought that 100 Israeli tanks facing Syria's 800 on the Golan Heights "ought to be enough." The commander of the southern front, Gen. Shmuel Gonen, and chief of military intelligence, Meir Zeira, come off as particularly incompetent.
		Nonetheless, Israel won the war thanks to the qualities of its soldiers and midlevel officers.

		Where do we stand, 30 years after that terrible war, in which more than 2500 Israeli soldiers lost their lives?
		During the summer, the two biggest papers, Ma’ariv and Yediot Aharonot, published previously unreleased transcripts of tapes that recorded the wartime communications of the late Shmuel Gonen, the general who headed Israel’s southern command and was singled out by the postwar Agranat commission as one of those to blame for Israel’s lack of preparedness.
		The tapes shed light on the strong differences of opinion among military commanders, with Ariel Sharon, who led the charge across the Suez Canal, wishing to move faster than the IDF’s top generals thought appropriate.
