"A state, especially a democratic state in an era that challenges democracies, also needs other dimensions of strength," Bennett continued.
"She needs inner strength, cohesion and unity of purpose, she needs mental strength, that her citizens will not break from any LF or enemy consciousness, and she needs the ability to defend herself by means that are not just BRUTE FORCE - by quiet, sophisticated means, I would say even elegant. .
And for that we have the institution. "

But this is not the time to talk about We received, it's time to act so that the situation will be different. For me, you, together with the IDF of course - the address.
The task - on you.
