The Battalion Commander Fighting in Gaza Criticizes the Radio Station: "Darkness"

Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Rabbi Maoz Schwartz, commander of Battalion 7007, said that today, after two and a half months, he listened once again to the Galei Tzahal radio station, and posted his impressions.

In a short post on Facebook, Rabbi Schwartz wrote: "For the first time, after two and a half months at least, I heard Galei Tzahal in the morning. Just terrible. How gloomy, dark, sad. How hopeless, so much death. A drop of consciousness of national strength was not there. Is this how an IDF unit wants to win a war? Or maybe it doesn't actually want to. Hello, Gali Tzahal!! What is going on with you? You have a weapon in your hand! Strengthen the national resilience or kill it... if you are not able to - replace yourselves! Quick."

At the end of his words, he wrote: "So what to do? Strengthen the people! Talk to them at the level of the soul and not at the level of the floor. Increase the aspiration for a real victory and not an imaginated one. Increase the aspiration for leading, eternal values. Accustom the nation to a deep and long-term view and not a superficial and short-term one. Don't say the people aren't there. The people are there! The people are thirsty for volume, for a horizon, for a sense of mission. That's how wars are won."
