Question: There is a war going on in Israel right now. It feels like everything is breaking apart.
On the one hand, there are hostages. Hamas detains hostages whose parents and relatives say: “We love our children more than we hate Hamas.” This is natural.
On the other hand, the parents of the dead soldiers urge those who are fighting to fight to the end. They write: “Our eyes are filled with tears, but our hearts are boiling, we stand up straight and say: “Continue bravely to victory! Eliminate the threat to our homes and protect our children.”
How should a decision be made in such cases?
Answer: We need to do what is best for the country. And what is best for the country, of course, is to destroy these animals. Because any weakness will later turn into tragedy later. We can already see this.
Question: So if you stand by this firmly as a leader, have decided, and are rigidly pursuing this policy, do you think that sooner or later…?
Answer: I do not know when “sooner or later” or what will happen, but I believe we simply have no other choice! Especially after we have just seen what they have prepared for and how they are preparing. Aside from Gaza, it is everywhere. This is in the north and the south, up to Iran and Yemen, and so on.
There are haters everywhere, and we must stand up and find a solution to the problem that is acceptable to us! Not to them. For them, we just need to be brought to a state where we are ready for anything. But we are not ready for everything. We must be ready for anything to give nothing away!
Question: Us means a country, a nation, and that’s it?
Answer: Yes.
Comment: The fact that this will divide the country is for you as a leader…
My Response: I don’t think it will divide us. I think in the end we need exactly this internal breakdown that will convince people there is no other way.
Question: Is this not a discussion, it is just a decision?
Answer: It is a decision. This decision may be bloody, but it must be such.
Question: Do you think any weakness will only lead to more and more victims?
Answer: Of course, naturally. There is no doubt about it.
Comment: After all, it was easier for King David. He seemed to be in full contact with the upper force.
My Response: I don’t think his state was easier, after all he fought for 40 years. So, it couldn’t have been easier.
Question: In order to make such a decision, do we have to somehow consider that we are in the holy land, that this is the land of our ancestors?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Should these exalted words be voiced?
Answer: All these exalted words should be voiced. We must use them every time, even though they do not come so much from our hearts. But we must get past this state where we are no longer visitors from foreign lands, but live here on our land long enough to know what we are fighting for.
Question: If we repeat even, as you say, mechanically: “This is our land, and we will not give up an inch of this land,” does it enter your heart in a while?
Answer: Yes, absolutely.
Question: What system is at work here? For example, a person does not feel it.
Answer: Self-persuasion.
Question: And the heart accepts, and that’s how I live. Does the decision become clear then?
Answer: Yes.
Question: It turns out that the way out of this is always to keep going along this line?
Answer: If you go forward boldly, like on the edge of a knife, you gain confidence, strength, and victory.
Question: What needs to be done to feel that the upper force is with us, that the Creator is with us?
Answer: To do this, first of all, we need to take a step toward the Creator and demand for Him to be revealed to us and the whole world.
Question: Is it a step toward the Creator to say, “You brought us here, and we stand for this land”?
Answer: Yes.
