Phone Call From Moshe
I was speaking with my former commander Moshe who had in fact voted for Olmert and Kadima in the last election because he was so desperate for change in the Knesset.
He told me "Yoni I wanted change but this is not what I had in mind. Besides Olmert being so corrupt and stupid that he thinks we will keep taking this".
I asked him so who do you see leading us out of this mess.
He answered who do we have besides Bibi and Ya'alon.
So I asked him how he expected these two men that have shown weak leadership in the past to solve our problems. Bibi caved under international pressure and gave up Hevron and went and sat at the negotiation table with the USA and Palestinians to give up even more land and only G-D saved us by having the Palestinians shoot themselv3es in the foot once again. I continued and asked Moshe who was the Chief of Staff of the IDF that allowed the highest degree of rot with the reserves and also used the IDF in a way that it should never have been used in Judea and Samaria and Gaza.
Moshe continued "Yoni you have to understand that Ya'alon says his hands were tied by budget cuts and other problems so you can't really blame him"
I interrupted him and replied,” Moshe tell me this is leadership a general who will not resign and go to the papers to tell the people of Israel that the Knesset is killing the major part of the combat arm of the IDF due to budget cuts. So when the State of Israel is killed along with 6,000,000 Jews because we no longer have an army that can fight the last Jew yells it wasn't the Chief of Staffs fault he didn't have the money to train the army. A real leader, a real man would have resigned and gone to the press and the people of Israel. If he had done this then he would be the man to lead Israel, instead he is just one more self serving politician in uniform that cares for his job and not his soldiers or the country"
Moshe replied, "We are in trouble because Hizbullah is rearming, Syria is getting ready for war and Iran will launch missiles at Israel the second someone acts against their nuclear program. Iran has submarines that will park of the coast and hit our cities. What are we going to do; I don't want to live like this with this feeling of weakness"
"Moshe we need to pray and work hard"
