War 2024
Shavua Tov!
I read last night before going to bed that the families of the hostages are speaking out harshly against the government, saying that Israel must end the war so the hostages can be released.
I went to bed and didn’t sleep at all.
I can put myself in the shoes of the families of those who were kidnapped. Yes, I know — the anguish is immense. I know this. But I think they are forgetting something.
Or maybe they don’t understand the danger our state is in — the danger for all Jews in the world, not just Israel.
We CANNOT stop this war — not against the terrorist group Hamas, nor against Hezbollah.
This is a war we cannot afford to lose.
Because if we do, we run the risk of being annihilated.
We are in danger of losing our only refuge: the Jewish National Home.
Do the hostages' families understand this?
Do they truly grasp the magnitude of this threat?
We don’t even know how many hostages are still alive. Every day we find more bodies.
The IDF is doing everything possible to rescue them — it is a priority.
But we have seen that agreements don’t work. They lie. They cheat.
And we cannot trust the intermediaries — they all lie.
They want to bring us to our knees and take over our country.
Do you understand?
They want ALL of Israel. Every inch.
We cannot stop this war.
We must eliminate the enemy NOW.
Tomorrow will be too late.
There might not be a tomorrow.
NOW.
I stand with Bibi in this resolution:
We will not stop the war just to bring the hostages back.
If there are still hostages alive — and may HaShem protect them —
our IDF will rescue them.
And may HaShem help us preserve our HOME: ISRAEL.
