A Cat in Gloves - 2014–07–12

A cat in gloves catches no mice  (English proverb)


The Israeli Defense Minister put it the following way: "…we have taken our gloves off…"

I immediately recalled this English proverb.
 
In this respect, being one of those who suffer from Hamas rocket attacks, I cannot help expressing my viewpoint on the situation and sharing my expectations on the developments.

Yes, we are ready to patiently wait and overcome all the inconveniences of the war…

Yes, we are strong and fully back our government up in the attempt to eliminate Hamas power of launching rockets onto our heads.

Yes, we strictly follow the Home Front Command instructions (unless something unusual happens!).

However, we are NOT READY to the repetition of the following scenario:
"One day, a third party intervenes and tells our leaders: "Hey, guys, enough is enough…The so-called "Palestinians" have suffered a lot. Your military force is much more superior to that your foes possess. So, it's high time to wind your military offensive…You and they must sign a seize fire agreement and that's it…"
And our leadership would reply: "Yes, sir!"

And we'll retreat. We will claim  our victory again, we will try to persuade ourselves that we are the winners in this "survive-or-die" battle…

BUT… There is "ONE BIG-BIG BUT" in all that: when the next time comes, the other party will already be in possession Far More Sophisticated Warfare  that could cause a lot more damage, since each and every time the military capability of each party is enhancing…

So, let us finish up the solemn issue of defending our people IN FULL!!!

And DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO FOOL YOU!!!
