This government never grasped the concept of chayecha kodem. Not during covid, certainly not in protecting the south and apparently not now either.
With an air only campaign all these men would still be alive. Those who hate us arround the world, already do just for defending to stay alive.
THIS IS NOT FOR POSTING. ITS A MESSAGE TO YWN
Our soldiers are fighting the enemy, upon whom we declared war. The enemy is being attacked by our soldiers who are aiming to kill them. Much as we want our soldiers to prevail bez”H – when the enemy fights back, it’s now in self defense, and in context of war. Sad and painful as each loss is, this is not murder. HaShem yishmor.
