We have to be careful about the motives that drives us in the counteroffensive against Hamas in Gaza.

I know, that there is a LOT of hate and resentment. But if this takes over, the signs of unity between left and right will be imperilled, and we could end up in discussions again in the middle of the offensive. If that happens, you can imagine the trouble we will be in.

Just because we have unity now, does not mean, we will continue having unity.

The way to create that background of support from left and right is to find common ground.

Common ground is a wish to eliminate the threat, but not to hate or punish, to deescalate the situation, and make sure, that this does not happen again.

After the Second World War, the SS was disarmed, and all the very hard fighters of the SS, that would have been a great threat to all Jews, were disbanded

After this, Nazism stopped being a threat to all Jews.

The same aim should be the fight that is coming in Gaza, not revenge, but disarmament.

Make sure that the Gazans are unable to fight on this scale again. Make sure, that it does not happen again.

I know, that the feelings are raw, and the wounds are open. I know, but we still need to do what is wise in the situation.

We need to keep the peace within the Jewish community, in order to accomplish this mission.

I know, that that is hard and annoying, but unity of forces rests on a moral basis. That morale has to be positive and upright. Honour rests on doing the right thing. The honourable action is to protect and serve, with the least casualties.

Giving is to be honest and upright in action.

G-d bless the will to keep a VERY clear head in the next few weeks. G-d bless Israel.
