Listen now | Believe me, our heads are spinning. Each week becomes more intense than the last. And there is a general feeling in Israel that rage is on a collision course with despair. Israel remains mired in conflict in Gaza with no apparent resolution in sight. Hostages remain in captivity six months on and the nation is absolutely dumbstruck.
I understand and share your distress and pain regarding the plight of the hostages. We need to “do something, move heaven and earth”.
What is never specified however. It’s much easier to criticize than come up with concrete suggestions. It’s the prerogative of a pundit and an armchair critic
“There is very little, if any, trust or confidence in the government or IDF leadership.”
Katz decries the Biden administration’s anticipated sanctioning, not of the State of Israel, not of the IDF, but of one unit made up of outliers in Israeli society including extremist “Hilltop Youth.” Is that unit NOT abusing human rights in the West Bank? If so then the leadership in which Israelis have no confidence will have to make the case. Shall we look to the minister of national security? Ok. Innocent until proven guilty. I’m awaiting the rationale and evidence the administration will present demonstrating systemic abuse of human rights. If it’s compelling, why should we send them our weapons?
I’m so glad that I subscribed. Each episode reassures me of the intelligence and concern for our people in Israel every waking moment. Thank you.
