For you people who don't understand the title, this post might make you disagree with me or make you think I'm trying to defend Israel but that is not my aim. The title means good job IDF and is used quite often to show the respect to the soldiers and your sympathy.
At the moment there is a war outbreaking in Israel and Hamas declared war today. For most people this is just like any other day, Israel and Hamas are fighting, so what? But other people will get involved and comment on the situation. Some people will say that Israel is killing innocent people and some people will say that Israel is just defending themselves. I am usually one of those that try to say that Israel has the right to defend themselves which I still stand for. However, I want to say that I will never try to defend innocent people dying since that is unfortunate whether it is in Israel or anywhere else but is the terrible result of war.
The situation in Israel is not easy. Many people suffer on both sides unfortunately but this has lead to people all over the world being worried and lying awake because they don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. I am not trying to tell anyone which side they should take because I'm taking the innocent people's side but I'm trying to explain what makes this conflict more complicated than many of you thought of.
In the south of Israel people are now in bombshelters and hoping to get some sleep with the hope that they tomorrow will be able to return to their homes. They are sleeping there because they have rockets fired at them constantly. Their kids won't go to school tomorrow because they can't risk having 30 kids only having 15 seconds to run to the bombshelter to stay alive.
All around the country there are mother and fathers lying awake thinking about their 18 year old kids in the army, having to defend the country and risk their lives for Israel. Some of them have to kiss their kids goodbye without the security of seeing them again.
In Petach Tikva a woman 8 months pregnant with her first child is going to bed with the fear everytime the phone rings that it is the army telling her husband that he needs to go to war. She is afraid her husband won't be there when they have their first kid. The fear that the child won't have the father there in the beginning of its life.
In Netanya a 23 year old boy is sitting up studying hoping to start university next year and start his life but is trying to get all the time he has to learn since he doesn't know when he needs to leave his home and fight against terrorism. And all around the world friends and family of Israelis are worried about losing their loved ones, not necessarely forever but guaranteed for a while when they are risking their lives to keep other people safe.
These are just a few examples of what Israelis are experiencing at the moment.
My thoughts go out to all these people, the soldiers, the innocent people and everyone connected to them. What they are doing is honorable. They are risking their lives for you and me, I thank them for that. Kol hakavod leTzahal! PLEASE STAY SAFE!
