ISRAEL HAS LOST MANY MILITARY PERSONNEL. MEN AND WOMEN, CHILDREN, CIVILIANS. !! IT IS TIME TO THINK A LITTLE, MR. MINISTER, AND THINK ABOUT LOOKING FOR DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS TO RECOVER THE KIDNAPPED PEOPLE. AT NO TIME SHOULD WE LEAVE SECURITY ASIDE, EVEN THOUGH FOR THE REST OF THE ISRAELI POPULATION WHO WANTS PEACE AND NOT WAR. WE ABROAD ALSO WANT EVERYTHING TO END BECAUSE WE ARE SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES OF A STRONG ANTE-SEMITISM THAT GROWS DAY BY DAY. LET’S THINK ABOUT THE MOMENT WE ARE LIVING IN AND THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL AND THE JEWS ABROAD.
In the style of King DAVID… he anticipated events through inspiration from the Heavenly Father…That's how it's done.
