Op-Ed: Can one soldier fell a government?
Arutz Sheva ^ | 1/5/16 | Leonie Ben Simon

Politicians should take careful note of the discontent in the street, as one woman from Dimona has as much voting power as the Prime Minister himself. She now represents many of the population’s feelings about how a young soldier has been dealt with.

Those who wish to stay in power and those who wish to head a motivated army should have their ears to the ground instead of blaming extremist right-wing organisations and "twisted ideology.".

A walk down the street in one of Israel’s major cities turned up the following comments voiced loudly in plain hearing range of everyone around:

From a businessman: “I chose not to join the army as my two older brothers did because one of them was sent to jail for six months for hurting an Arab who was trying to kill him. “

From a young soldier: “In our unit we are all completely ashamed of how this soldier is being treated. Of course he should have shot the terrorist dead. If this is the way he is treated why are we in the army at all?”

From a mother: “I do not want my children to go into the army if that is how one soldier is being treated.”

From a grandmother: “It is all the Supreme Court’s fault. They set the tone. They are pro-Arab and do not care what happens to us. It has always been like that.”

.....

The next election will not only see the whole country swinging to the right, it will see much more than that. Young and old now have an issue which is binding them together as one. ....

Put the supreme Court justices on the line and make them live and work under the ROE they expect the army to obey

The Arab loving leftists in Israel are out of control.

“I do not want my children to go into the army if that is how one soldier is being treated.”

I would not have believed this, but for the fact that I am an American veteran in the United States.

Israel has a Supreme Court problem quite similar to America’s Supreme Court problem

The real war is not with the Muslims or Arabs. It is with the traitors in our camp(s) that deliberately, and with malice aforethought, endeavor to see harm done to us.

We can defeat Islam, but can we defeat our own traitors?

Armies not in the business of destroying the enemy, will eventually fall to them. Liberalism is self defeating atheistic suicide. Israel joins the USA in this madness.

...And if a government falls in a uninhabited forest, does it make a sound?

Sorry. Just wanted to write that.

Seriously, 'tho. With all the external problems Israel has, it's sad they have to suffer internal ones as we do, too. Such is human nature/society and liberal ideology.

If we do not defeat the gods of our traitors our God will be forgotten. The traitors are our children. Their gods are the shibboleths we erected to protect them. They are: honor without achievement; love without respect; wealth without labor; wisdom without struggle.
Our children are stupid, vapid, worthless brutes who delight in their own pleasure and take without giving. They are creatures of darkness who do violence to the best that is in us. They must be cleansed of their sin and brought int the light of God’s sacrificial Love.
Sin can only be atoned by a broken heart. Contrition is not the fruit of a broken body but of a broken spirit. A spirit is broken when the demons that plague it have worked their evil. When all the false gods have shown their true nature the One True God can enter in and bring healing.
