Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,

Firstly, I would like to congratulate and thank you for a job well done. I know that you truly understand the nature of the beast you are dealing with. I hope that Hashem will continue to give you strength and wisdom to continue defending the people of Israel. Regardless of the popular opinion and anti-semitic venom published by the world news outlets, your actions will show the world that Jewish blood is not cheap and will be defended at all costs.

The news is reporting that a ground incursion may take place, due to Hamas embedding weapons and military targets in schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure – creating a “double war crime” as the IDF blog has explained.

I write to you out of concern for our dear soldiers, who fight da y and night to protect the citizens of Israel. As Jews, in America and abroad, we pray for their safety always. It is sad to think that our dear soldiers must put their lives at risk, in order to minimize collateral damage on the side of terrorists. Why? If Hamas is committing war crimes, why must our soldiers risk their lives, to minimize their losses?

I implore you, please consider a heavy handed approach, decimating our enemies, their leaders and infrastructure in the framework of obliterating the name of Amalek. The risks they are taking are their own. They say it themselves – “they love death, like we love life”, so give them their wishes. No other nation would require their soldiers to risk their lives for the sake of their enemies’ lives. Jewish blood is simply not worth it.

May Hashem guide you to make clear-minded decisions in the best interest of Am Yisrael; and may He quickly usher in a new era of peace under the leadership of Mashiach, Amen!
