Israeli Newspaper: The illusion of absolute victory: the biggest lie in the history of the army and Israel

By Isaac Brick

The State of Israel is disintegrating in all areas: security, economy, society, education, medicine, and our international relations, and is turning into a “zombie” - a human being without a soul, unsympathetic, and acting automatically. Only stopping the war in Gaza now can stop the state's deterioration.

We must take a deadline, return the hostages, and prepare the army for the great regional war that is considered a real existential threat to our survival on this earth. The army and the home front are not ready at all. We must restore the Israeli economy and our international relations, return the displaced to their homes, restore unity in society, and save the state from collapse.

Continuing the fighting, which has lost its purpose for some time in the Gaza Strip, is the best way to ensure the continued disintegration of the state. Illusions, narrow interests, petty politics, and big egos, as well as internal disputes, must be abandoned instead of resorting to dialogue. We must all stand up and save our country from its destruction because we do not have another country. This is still possible.

We must maintain our military achievements so far in the Gaza Strip. We will not achieve any better. The opposite is true: the longer the fighting in Gaza continues, the deeper we sink. Dismantling the four remaining battalions in Rafah and “completely dismantling Hamas” are the biggest lie in the history of Israel’s wars, which the political and military levels are selling to us.

Unfortunately, the majority of the public falls into this trap, and believes these lies that are spread to buy time for the sake of political and military survival, and to cling to what exists as long as possible. Only recently, the Americans announced that the plan for the army to enter the Rafah camps was inappropriate and would lead to the largest famine of the century. Therefore, they would not agree to enter.

Now, we are on the brink of the abyss, and if we remain standing without taking any action and believe the lies spread by our leaders, we will not stand, we will have no way back, and we will lose the state for another 2000 years. As I mentioned previously, one decision without calculations from Netanyahu, or Gallant and Herzi Halevy, will ignite the Middle East, because I do not depend on the opinion of these three, and I have a feeling that they made this decision. We are in the hands of irrational people who pushed Israel to what happened on 7/10, and they may push it to the destruction of the Third Temple. This group is playing with fire at the expense of the citizens of the State of Israel.
