WhatsappHundreds of thousands of brave Israeli Defense Forces soldiers are risking their lives to combat a culture of death and destruction that Hamas – and the Arabs in Gaza who support them – have built. There are literally tens of miles of terror tunnels underneath the entire Gaza region that are dedicated to one thing – killing Israelis.
The massive investment of time and money by Arabs to terrorize Israel into submission has shocked Israel into an unprecedented level of unity. The unity is based on one of the most basic and elementary causes that exist in life – the will to survive. The State of Israel is now filled with millions of people who are all united by one thing – to not get killed by our enemy. Israel’s frontlines are not far away from the frontlines like Vietnam or Pearl Harbor. Nearly every part of the country is on the frontlines. Nobody in Israel would be safe unless Israel completely destroys the Hamas threat.
When an Israeli soldier gets a furlough for a day or two, often their home is a mere one-hour drive or less from the frontline. Some soldiers live 20 minutes away from the frontlines in large cities like Ashkelon or Kiryat Gat. The terror tunnels that Hamas built are sometimes as close as 1 mile from Israeli communities. Could any sane person be willing to live within 1 mile of terror tunnels filled with terrorists armed with RPG’s? Rocket propelled grenades are perhaps the #1 threat to all of the Israeli soldiers who are sweeping through Gaza to clean out the terror threat. Israel simply has no other option. Either wipe out the terror threat or leave its citizens in mortal danger from RPG’s and missiles one mile away from their homes.
Israel’s politicians are not making brave choices these days to fight Hamas. They simply have no other option. Putting down our weapons is akin to national suicide.
