The October 7 massacre in the western Negev gave Israel a nightmare picture of what the destruction of the state looks like. The citizens understood this, and apparently not only the Jews but also the Muslims and the Druze understood it and internalized the magnitude of the threat posed by Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah and the other organizations organized in a circle of fire around the Jewish state.
The haters of the State of Israel understood this as well. Hamas revealed to the hedonistic postmodern world that a way had been found to destroy the Jewish state. The October 7 massacre became the Woodstock of America's younger student generation. This is an outburst of jubilation in the streets of cities in the West. This is the reason for the shock that gripped American Jews. There was once a powerful Rolling Stones song, "Paint It Black." Someone, and we know who, painted us the picture of our lives black.

Our friends understood this, too. These are first and foremost the Americans. President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken. All the analyses on the psychological warfare conducted by Sinjan are not serious, because Sinjan's entire game is based on the dual encouragement that the United States gives Israel, but also to Iran and its proxies.
In the past, the administration did not stop Israel when it fought on two fronts. What other country waged a surprise war on two fronts? But Biden and Blinken are blocking and limiting us, turning deterrence into a joke.
Facing us is the most barbaric movement that humanity has established since Nazism and Stalinism. In Israel, they understood this, but for some reason they soon forgot. Perhaps because the media smelled the danger of victory. Signs of support and encouragement for the soldiers were torn down near the supermarket on Agnon Street in Jerusalem, and in their place, 'Bring back the abductees!' This is not how a nation behaves that seriously thinks that Hamas must be destroyed and Hezbollah and Iran severely harmed. It is imperative to listen to the words of Haim Yellin of Beeri: Stopping the boycott war means the end of settlement in the western Negev.
Therefore, the great test of leadership will be at the end of the days of respite. The IDF has no choice but to return to the fighting, even though the desire to see some of the hostages return violated the basic principles of war. You don't stop an army in its momentum when it's about to break the enemy. We are human and that is part of national resilience.
The pause in the release of the hostages is understandable. Its price will be accepted if we return to fighting. The return to fighting should be surprising, and what is more surprising if Israel returns the IDF to the offensive immediately after the five-day pause. Without allowing the tugs and drags and psychological terror. Israel will have no existence if there remains a terrorist army across the border that has demonstrated its destructive creativity.
On the right, there are those who join the movement to oust Netanyahu and do so in a stupid way: Netanyahu is Chamberlain. Not. At the moment, Biden is close to that title, and Israel must prepare itself for a clash.
This does not mean that Churchill's words should not be heeded when he became prime minister with the option of peace negotiations with Hitler: "As soon as we sit at the negotiating table, we will discover that we cannot get up from it." Since there is no temptation of "peace," Netanyahu, Galant and Gantz will have to lift themselves up from the diabolical negotiating table and return to the war room.
