For too many years, the security reality has been enveloped in cellophane, which is good for us, but beneath the colored cover, a real existential danger is bubbling up.
The way in which senior members of the defense establishment have joined the politicians' campaign of denial is disturbing and dangerous.
Adherence to the defense, giving up the initiative, trying to find an excuse for every attack and every threat, fuel the intensity of the fire in our enemy's barrels of motivation.
This is not individual terrorism, this is not a wave of terrorist attacks, this is not an escalation, this is a war of attrition imposed on us by Hamas, Hezbollah and those of us who do not recognize the right to a state for Jews.
To defeat our enemy in this war of attrition will not suffice sophisticated aircraft, talented cyber fighters, iron domes and defensive walls.
In order to stop waking up and reacting to any incident, and to raise the level of vigilance as expressed by Defense Minister Bnei Gantz, daily initiated and sophisticated offensive activity is required.
The transition from defense to attack should not be made against crime in the Arab sector, as Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was quoted as saying.

To shape a different reality, of power, of deterrence, we must become the creators.
Our enemies must get up every morning anew and fear for their lives and their future.
We are supposed to move freely anywhere throughout the Land of Israel without fear, maintain a normal life routine and ensure our children a future of opportunities instead of a future of dangers.
For too many years we have not won, we have not decided.
The elected and security leadership consciously chose to avoid paying the price of victory, and as a result we lost the deterrent.
Each of the leaders makes sure that there are no casualties in his shift.
They deal with intelligence for purposes instead of intelligence with intentions.
Hamas, Hezbollah and some of the Arabs among us continue to work to realize the vision of establishing an Islamic state on the ruins of the State of Israel.
It's time to re-plan your route.
This is perhaps the last opportunity to ensure the continued existence of the Zionist enterprise on the land of the Land of Israel.
The smuggling from Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt, the Hamas takeover of Judea and Samaria and the precise armament to Hezbollah, we will not stop at compromises, concessions and defense.
It is impossible to continue with the same policy of helplessness and hope for a different outcome.
The electricity connection of tens of thousands of illegal homes in the Negev will only increase the intensity and extent of crime and the potential for nationalist threat.
Allowing security prisoners to develop, educate and dictate which prison guard will work for them in the wing will continue to encourage them to enlist in the Hamas army.
Riots such as those that occurred during the "Wall Guard" reinforce our enemy's desire to fight.
There is not a single developed country in the world that would allow such contempt under the authority of its government and the power of governance.
If we do not prove with strength and determination that we believe in the righteousness of our way and in the right of our existence in the Jewish state, we will not be here.
We do not have a second date.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
