Meir Ettinger – "The honor has been exiled from Israel"

 “The honor has been exiled from Israel"

Cheeky and mocking, has become one of the strongest armies in the world to (?) mop the floor (or ‘like a shmatoot’). For the first time since the establishment of the state, the general public feels that it cannot rely on the army.

The feelings of yesterday when the first news of the cease-fire came, how predictable it was, how much we knew in advance, and how much we never expected and did not think that those humble leaders standing at the head of the establishment would be capable of fighting and defeating the enemy - it can not cure the sense of humiliation, Led by this failing government, led by the establishment lost this way.

The thoughts rush to the verses of the Bible that will allow us to express our angry heart - they are deliberating between "Do not say in the Garden of Gods not to be informed in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines be entertained, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised mock them." And the verses that describe the fall of Israel And the ark against the Philistine-Gaza, which are expressed in the unique name "disrespect” that is to say: show respect from Israel.” (this last line needs comparison to the Ivrit for exactness of Meir’s thought. )

Where is the honor of the people of Israel, which is the dignity of the people? 

Where is the dignity of the people that brought out Hasmonean Maccabees who won an entire empire? 

Where is the dignity of the people that is the glory of God?

In the face of the loss of the way of the security cabinet, the members of the government, of the wretched and insulting establishment, the loss of our path is also evident - those who wish to fill the void of lack of leadership and lack of faith, and again fail to be able to reach the heart of the people, The honor to Israel.

And again the question arises: How do you raise the banner of rebellion? 

How do you get out all the anger and frustration? 

How can we turn this disgrace into a moment of hope, in which we will all go out into the streets and demand a different leadership, a believing leadership, a leadership that will take care of Israel's honor and the dignity of heaven.

The truth is that we do not lack any solutions - the market is filled with ideas about what to do and how to do it, whether it's the army itself or various parties that want to offer an alternative - all have advantages and disadvantages, but that's not the story here. It is impossible to buy the hearts of the people with plans and proposals (not that it is not important to deal with it), boldness and courage are required.

The secret of Gaza is its boldness. For the first time since the establishment of the state, the general public feels that it can not rely on the army, no one believes the word of the IDF spokesman who conducts a psychological war against the citizens of the state, and everyone mocks the "special assets”(?)  of the aggressor.

To win Gaza - courage is needed, heroism required. We need heroes like Shimshon, who will all sing together, "Remember me, please strengthen me, but this time" It's time to change direction, it's time to shout and yell.

We need the lights of chaos in the tools(?) of the diction(?), the spirit of rebellion in the desire to change, because until we overthrow this failed government, until the entire elite of the army is changed, we will have no security and no honor.
