Only our unity can cover our “weaknesses!”
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
While we keep torturing ourselves with such impossible and unenviable decisions, we need to try to think with the minds of our enemies.
Our enemies are very shrewd and pragmatic; they fully know Israeli society and our “ideology” of saving and protecting lives at all costs.
This is why their most important action on the 7th of October was abducting over 200 Israelis.
Thus, if they get what they want, cessation of fighting and the return of thousands or even hundreds of terrorists from prison, their calculations will be fully justified and rewarded.
As a result, next time, they will abduct not only 200 but 2000 or even more. Our enemies will start abducting Jews and Israelis all over the world to force the Jewish Nation on its knees.
Hamas or even Hezbollah cannot defeat Israel on the battlefield; probably no country or army can.
But they can defeat us through psychological warfare when they shrewdly and cynically exploit our “weakness” of wanting to save each and every Jew.
They can defeat us only if they drive a wedge between us and cause the “pre-war” infighting, internal hate, and undermining each other to return.
And the “left” side of Israeli society, with its relentless media bombardment, is ready to help them!
We need to keep and strengthen our unity above all our differences at all costs! That is the only way we can defeat all our enemies, even those who pretend to be our allies, while stabbing us in the back.
