From the incomparable Zahava D. Shapiro: #everyword #AmYisraelChai 🇮🇱 💪
About Ben Gvir and our politicians tripping over themselves to condemn him…
We are not dealing with petty criminals who simply made a wrong turn at sea.
We are dealing with people who applauded October 7th. People who openly support terrorists. People actively aligning themselves with those who seek the destruction of our people and our country.
And yet there are many among us who are worried about “optics”?
Seriously?!
This time there was no ridiculous PR video of us serving sandwiches to the aggressors. Instead, they were shown restrained on the floor, treated as security threats, which is exactly what they are.
And Ben Gvir waving the Israeli flag and displaying Israeli pride? Apparently that’s now the scandal. Oh my! "What will the others think?"
Maybe, just maybe, this will make future anti-Israel flotilla activists think twice before trying it again.
Maybe, just maybe, it sends a message that Israel will no longer tolerate Hamas-supporting provocations against our country.
Perhaps we should spend less time obsessing over international approval and more time restoring deterrence. Because endless restraint, and constant anxiety over “what others will think,” has come at a price - one paid by our soldiers and by Israeli civilians.
Ben Gvir has backbone. That should not frighten us. Let THEM fear US.
What should matter is ensuring that Israel’s enemies understand there are consequences for threatening us. And that must be the bottom line!
