Starts off good. Israel will prevail against its enemies...Gantz is devoted to the Jewish people. Thanks Board of Directors of Aipac.
What we are fighting for?
We have the best army, best airforce, the bravist fighters...
Kochi veOtzem Yadi? My strength and my power? Where is the Almighty in the equation?
"For hope, we need unity.
For security, we need unity.
Unity is our past and future."
Sounds good. But Unity with Whom????
Securing Anwar Sadat on his visit to Israel was his first assignment.
Signing the Camp David Accords showed great leadership?
Ensured Israels safety? Sadat, Begin and Carter did a great service to Israel??? Tell that to the troops and residents by the Gazan border and Southern and Central Israel now under constant attack!
Rules of engagement and 10 Commandments is Israel's Moral code? So long as it is according to Gantz's own interpretation of the Ten Commandments. He doesn't seem to give much credibility as per the Traditional interpretation of the Ten Commandments.
He promotes a high standard of moral codes while rejecting the Traditional interpretation of Torah.
Was stationed in the Sudan desert. Jews of Ethiopia. Brought them back home. That's good.
Ethiopian girl. Candidate of Blue and white party. Ok.
Every Jew must be safe. We are our brothers keeper. Mentions Pittsburgh massacre. Good.
We will not tolerate racism and antiSemitism. Sounds good.
Until Gantz becomes divisive and suggests Kahane who was elected to the Knesset by the people is a radical racist.
Actually Kahane was banned by racist members of Knesset. They were afraid of his popularity. Gantz seems to suggest that it is a given that Kahane was racist and that if you supported Kahane you must be a divisive racist. Sounds like a true Democrat. If you support Trump you are Islamaphobic, racist individual against Blacks and minorities.
Nadav his son was an IDF soldier. He was so proud of his Paratrooper son.
We are as well. Loud applause!
His mother was a Holocaust survivor.
Strength and moral power coming together. Fine. A strong IDF is a proper response to the Holocaust. Great!
High Moral standard. Never Again to Iranian Regime. Sounds good.
He will use force if and when needed. Sounds good but in action he endangers the lives of Chayalim for his higher moral standard of protecting Arab Civilians on the Gaza front who are not there for peaceful purposes.
Says that Hezbollah, Al Qaida Hamas, ISIS...will get personal reminder as will all the terrorist...
But those kite, balloon arsonists throwing all kinds of explosives at the Chayalim and Jewish residents in the South, starting fires and destroying vegetation are dealt with kids gloves.
Sounds tough though in his speech..
Israel will keep security advantage. Sounds good. Not sure how the families in southern Israel feel this security advantage is to their advantage but it sounds good at the Aipac speech and gets lots of applause from an audience that is clueless of the facts on the ground.
We will strive for peace with any honest Arab leader.
Doesn't he know about Taqiya? How trusting will he be if he admires the peace agreement between Sadat, Begin and Carter that gave away Sinai so that today Southern Israel is under constant attack by Hamas at the Gazan border. I get it. As a General it kept him employed and keeps the IDF employed. Real peace would have put him out of a job.
Jerusalem will be a United Eternal Capital of Israel. Sounds good. Wonder what his views are of Temple Mount and East Jerusalem.
Jordan valley is Israel's eastern border. Great! He isn't interested in Jordan taking over the valley.
No mention of lack of security on the Gazan border
No mention of Judea and Samaria...
Is Gantz aware that Judea and Samaria is the high ground overlooking Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion airport and is overlooking very heavily populated low ground?
Not only the Golan Heights is situated on high ground...
Israel's security is in the hands of IDF.
We fight for ourselves he says. Sounds good but again, he forgets to give credit to the Almighty.
Without the Almighty's help, we are goners.
We won't withdraw from Golan. Sounds good.
However....
Unity is secret weapon
Excellent...but unity with Whom though?
Reform, Conservative Orthodox United. Enough space for all at the Western Wall.
Not into divisive dialog????
His dialogue is extremely divisive if you are traditionally Jewishly observant.
How many Reform and Conservatives actually pray regularly by the Western Wall? Gantz is a good sharer and shares the space with fellow Jews who don't come to pray, taking precious space from Jews who do. Very genourous of him.
He never checked for Kippa on his soldiers... well why not ..maybe Fear of G-d will help fight our wars. Works overtime to accommodate Reform, Conservative and Orthodox.
Perhaps he should take a census of how many Israelis are Reform and Conservative before he forces their higher moral standard on the entire population.
Against radicals, no Kahanists?
No racists? No corruption?
What is his definition of a radical or a racist?
Are radicals the Hilltop youth who were framed as Jewish Terrorists with no evidence? Their Duma charges sounds very similar to the witch-hunt Mueller investigation against Trump.
No Corruption? Check out the Israel Supreme Court who are self appointed and self serving leftist progressive judges biased against Jewish Settlement. Is he against the baGatz or will he call them the rule of Law?
Out for the best interest of Israel?
I have my suspicions. He is looking out for the ruling minority elite of which he wants to be a leader.
He thanks President Trump for Embassy move to Jerusalem and for USAs recognition of Israels Sovereignty on Golan Heights. Agreed!
Calls for bi partisanship? Last I checked the Democrats are anti Israel!!!
Reality check! Pelosi and Schumer are not Israel's friends at the moment. They have empowered junior members of Congress, leftist progressives Democratic Socialists who would love his rhetoric about unity. The only problem is that they wish to empower the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
Does he really want to embrace the cuckoo and invite him to Israel's nest? Soon he will have a vulture that has taken over the nest.
Is Gantz living in his own imaginary reality of unity and security?
