This time we can not say we were surprised and did not see it coming.
The riots within the borders of the country during Operation Wall Guard, and what has been going on since the end of the operation and does not seem to be coming to an end soon, countless red lights are lit and a large red inscription is written on the wall.
The findings of the commission of inquiry into the failures of the next war are being written these days, and there is no need to be familiar with classified intelligence information, or a graduate certificate from the College of Command and Staff, to understand the magnitude or significance of the threat. All it takes is to listen to the news and listen to what senior officers are saying, drawing a bleak picture of the face of the next campaign. Only about ten days ago, General Itzik Turgeman was interviewed, declaring that during a war in the north - the IDF will not transfer forces to the front through Wadi Ara. The IDF's forces.
Turgeman was preceded by Major General Aharon Haliva, who recommended the establishment of a National Guard to deal with the expected riots, and the outgoing Deputy Chief of Staff, Major General Eyal Zamir, who more hints that the IDF must be redeployed in the face of the possibility
The police are also well aware of the danger.
This week, an officer in the Northern District said that Hezbollah is working to infiltrate Israel with a lesson from the Wall Guard, in order to use it for terrorist activity in the next round.
And these are not just officers who make almost apocalyptic predictions - this is the daily reality.
Acre continues to be a city where Jews are regularly attacked, and even in Lod the order has not yet been completely restored.
Demonstrations in support of the defendants in killing and harming Jews during the Wall Guard are a matter of routine, and take place unhindered.
Israel seems to have lost its survival instinct, and the ability to make it clear to those who want to harm it and its citizens, and to those who help the enemy in time of war, that the consequences will be severe.
The reasons for this, of course, are many and varied.
Maybe it's the addiction to silence, maybe it's another conception we are trapped in, maybe it's the fact that it's currently holding party governing positions, some of whose members support rioters and identify with terrorist elements.
And maybe it's just repression.
One thing can be said for sure.
Instead of dealing with the disturbing reality, Israel is pursuing an ostrich policy - burying its head deep in the sand, and sinking into false thoughts that if we just let the threat go and die slowly - it will disappear from the face of the earth.
This, of course, is not going to happen.
Among the Arabs of Israel there is a group, and it is growing, which explicitly says: "We are interested in harming you and your children, and we will be very happy to help you lose the war."
We treat it with disapproval, and refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem.
So here Jews are beaten in the street, and there is stone-throwing or documentation of weapons caches on social media.
The last disturbances were only a small crisis.
An episode, not an alarm clock.
A fleeting moment, and not a huge red light.
We'll look at everything in the post-war inquiry committee.
