Terrorism in Israel: The Need for Long-Term Solutions

293Comment: What is happening in the country [Israel] now, of course, causes pride. In response to the complete lawlessness of the terrorists, an army of 360,000 people was assembled in a matter of days. People left everything and went to recruiting stations, and they came from abroad. They left all their business.

Everyone has a feeling: “This is my house, and the house is in danger.” And everyone came.

We see how everything changes. Just prior to this, someone was left or right—now they are together, going into battle. There were different views; now there is one view. Such is the real unity of Israel. Meaning, the grief has connected everyone.

My Response: We must completely neutralize Hamas and destroy this organization to make sure that there is a normal life in the Gaza Strip as it once was.

Once it was even possible to enter the Gaza Strip. People went there to do shopping or to repair cars. They lived a normal life. And then because of this organization, Hamas, Gaza became the absolute enemy of Israel. So what we need to do is restore normal communication.

Question: What about the fact that the atmosphere of searching for the guilty is beginning? How do we live with it now?

Answer: There is no getting away from it. We need to look at things realistically. It lives in people. When there are so many lives lost and so many problems, it will not go away by itself, and time will not erase it. Therefore we must understand that we will have to deal with this for a long time.

Question: So if this feeling “how could this have happened” arises—and it arises in many people of course, since they see that things were missed here and there—then is it not necessary to suppress it within yourself?

Answer: No, you can’t suppress it. We just need to sort out all the plans for the future well.

Question: When did you utter such a phrase, “Everyone should have a sense of guilt!” How should we understand this?

Answer: We allowed ourselves to do everything possible to weaken the state with endless demonstrations and clashes among ourselves, and this gave the terrorists the opportunity to do what they want.

Question: So you don’t retreat from this phrase?

Answer: No, of course not. We are to blame for this.

Question: Are you saying “we”? Not the ones who went out on the demonstrations?

Answer: No, no. I also do not absolve myself of any responsibility. There can be no double standards here. Everyone is to blame.

Question: And how should we live with this, with this guilt?

Answer: How to live with it? Well, don’t live.

Comment: But when you see what happened there and you still feel guilty, it’s not that simple.

My Response: So what can you do? Close your eyes and say, “It’s not happening”?

Question: I can’t anymore. Is it possible to turn it all around? Is it possible now to get out of this feeling into another one?

Answer: Only if you constantly work on it. I mean, we have to restore the right relationships between us so that we stop these stupid demonstrations, which, in principle, do nothing but weaken the state and only benefit organizations like Hamas.

So we have a problem here.

Comment: Today we see this unity, all this help, mutual guarantee. We gather together during wars.

My Response: I don’t know. I personally am not sure that the people can draw such good conclusions from this. It will all pass, it will all change quickly, and it will be forgotten; they will hide their head under their wing and that’s it.

Question: Do you think that the horrors recorded by the prophets are possible and can come true?

Answer: They are possible. And we must definitely live in this way until we achieve final correction, to be with each other in absolute love.

If love is not above all disagreements, then in the end we will wake up in the sea, thrown out of here.

Question: Love rising above all disagreements—does this depend on us?

Answer: Of course. Everyone should say that it depends on him.

Question: So the differences remain, and I rise above them?

Answer: Yes, correction is precisely in this.
