The theory of betrayal from within continues to be propagated by people whose common sense has betrayed them and replaced it with a twisted mind.
The story according to which there were traitors among us who enabled the atrocities of the seven finds him a huge crowd of believers.
According to one survey, about a quarter of Israelis eat this bullshit as if it were marmalade.
Today it is already known, and can be proven, that this "theory" is just another Russian trick designed to sow division and hatred within us.
They made and are making use of social media and crazy media people to spread this poison pill, knowing that there are enough people here to swallow it.
And not only will they swallow - they will also spread further.
I never believe in any conspiracy theory.
I believe, and even know, that reality is always much simpler than the theorists try to paint it.
The various conspirators always tell a very complex story about why what happened, but for me there is only one rule - the answer to difficult questions is always the simplest, not the complicated.
And the only answer to the failure of the last disaster that befell us is simple - degeneration.
The process of mental degeneration that went through all the systems in the last 20 years was visible to all eyes, but the degenerates continued to put us to sleep because they themselves were lazy, hedonistic, corrupt, arrogant.
All the traits that bring people down have existed in the top tier for so long that everything has rotted away.
And when the blow came, it collapsed.
simple.
I remember my deep astonishment when the intention to shorten the regular service by half a year was announced, during Gantz's tenure as Defense Minister.
I did not understand how they would both qualify and enjoy the fruits of the training in such a short period of time.
I also remember the anxiety that gripped me when they took the weapons to the standby classes, and when they dried up the Rabbis. This also happened during the Gantz era. And when, in general, they convinced us that a homeopathic army was enough to meet the country's security challenges.
There was no betrayal.
There was a sunset in imaginations about a small and smart nation that could, with its computing power, protect its borders and live in the Middle East as if it were Andorra here.
The only betrayal was basically that you have to re-examine every day all the starting points for the world view, even if it is uncomfortable and requires effort.
And the truth is, it is much less convenient to understand that it was not betrayal but laziness.
Because if there was betrayal, there is someone to hate and you don't have to do anything.
But since we "just" got lazy, now we have to come to our senses and rebuild everything.
And the conspirators have no patience for that.
Because they have to upload another post.
contraction
And what is not discussed so much in the endless talks about the situation is the fact that our country has shrunk by seven, and who knows if it will return to its previous borders.
Also in the north, also in the south, not yet in the east, but it's a matter of time, we've shrunk by at least some ten kilometers, the settlements are deserted and the residents are afraid.
Many of them, after spending all their years near the border, suddenly feel the relatively safe warmth of the center and will never return to the fragile reality of before what happened.
Like washing a new garment that you don't follow the care instructions and put it in the dryer, and it shrinks and no longer rises above the hip line - so is this country, which was just the right size for us, and suddenly is really small for us.
The agricultural, open, green areas are as if they are still ours, but in practice they are occupied by the cruelest enemy of all - fear.
The main problem in abandoned areas is that there is no vacuum in the land world.
Every empty place, every depleted area, every abandoned settlement, will be filled by greedy land grabbers from home, those against whom we waged bitter battles of agricultural theft and illegal takeovers and invasions and deliberate damage, and now receive the Eid in our territories on a copper platter, with a small coffee and a klava next to it.
Gift.
Agriculture in Kibbutz Nir Oz.

For years the agricultural areas of the country have been neglected, as part of the general neglect of the Likud government for many years.
Even without anti-aircraft missiles installed directly on the balcony, it would not have been easy for the farmers in the settlements surrounding Israel to survive the decrees, the imports, the agricultural crimes, the lack of support. And now, what will leave them there to be our front line? It's more fun in the garden.
So we have to decide now what we want.
You can make a decision to give up.
Reduced to the borders of the Haganah, leaving the Galilee to the Arabs, the Negev to the Bedouin, in any case that is what they want, shrinking the entire people of Israel into high towers in the areas of demand and living like that, pressed against each other, like pigs in their den.
And it is possible now and immediately to revive the Nahal in its ancient form, the Settlement Corps of the People of Israel, and send soldiers and soldiers to man the settlements and keep them alive until the anger passes. And now shorten the service year for the Shinshins, and pick mechanics from their preparation for conscription. And it would be good to send this idealistic youth to settle temporarily all the moshavs and kibbutzim, and teach them manual labor, and let them hold the state, until we return.
China
I don't know why, it's too much for me to understand, but the Chinese have become yellow for us.
I understand that this is part of the global war that is heating up between the blocs, and they chose to be in the world's shit bloc, with Iran and Russia and Hamas.
It's not personal, so to speak, but it really offends me.
The fact that they did not even bother to condemn with a single Chinese word the atrocities of Hamas, and that Tiktok, the official application of the Chinese Communist Party, promotes only anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli content until a senior Tiktok Israel resigned in protest of this policy, and the halting of the operations of their shipping company to Israel, And many more displays of hostility insult me.
And the most offensive - the appearance for the first time of anti-Semitic content on social networks in China, something that has never happened in that part of the world, but since it was announced that the blood of the Jews is allowed - it will be very difficult to put this genie back in the bottle.
And now the question arises - who was the genius who gave our sea ports to a hostile power at such a level?
Who was so irresponsible not to listen to the warnings of the Americans?
Who thought you could trust a nation that lives under a violent and oppressive dictatorial rule, and that it wouldn't turn on us one day?
And another question is asked: what now?
Is it possible to leave the situation as it is, to let a close ally of the Iranians hold us both in the throat, in Haifa, and in a more modest place, in Ashdod?
And I'm not an expert on nationalization matters, but you may have to think carefully if it's not time to take back control of the ports.
And not only about them.
TikTok Israel should be shut down immediately.
It is a domestic enemy, and such a hostile guest should not be allowed to enter our living room.
And we need to think carefully about the Chinese who are building our country, truly the best workers in the world, but now it is not certain that it is safe to employ them.
And more than all of these - every Israeli citizen must stop shopping in China.
Although in the last few months the weaning has already begun, with the Houthi delays of the shipments from SHEIN and Maali Express, but now we have to cut.
It is not possible for us to provide for our needy, even if our purchases are one grain of rice in their menu.
National honor, this thing that we have a lot of difficulty with in the face of affordable prices, must be implemented now.
This week my shoes were torn in the rain.
I automatically entered my favorite Chinese website and wanted to order.
I stopped.
I closed
I went to the city.
I entered the store.
I bought a pair of shoes for three times the price in China.
But I didn't wait for the package and I didn't have a package of feelings of guilt settle on my conscience.
He will dwell with a nation alone, and from the Gentiles he will not invite at all.
