From the field of obvious-alarm. In Israel, all the children of the elite and the military-political leadership of the country are now in the war. In Israel, all the children of the elite and the military-political leadership of the country-all, without exception, both young men and girls-served, serve or will serve in the army. It is impossible otherwise. Law. Nobody mows from the army here - it is not accepted, but to serve prestigiously.
After the events of the Black Saturday, October 7, 2023, those of the children of the elite and military-political leadership of the country who lived, studied or worked not in Israel, immediately took tickets, got into airplanes and returned home to go to serve. Otherwise, they would not be understood by the peers with whom they once sat in the trenches, learned to beat off attacks and protect the borders.
“War, do you have a dissertation in Cambridge?!”, “War, do you have a woman alone with children?!” No one will accept such excuses, ”the acquaintance of the acquaintance, who arrived after 7.10 to Israel from Europe, where he had a little daughter, wife and business, explained to me.
Here is just a list of children from very difficult Israeli families. These children are now part of the Dead Defense Army are involved in hostilities against Hamas:
The son of the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu Avner is 29 years old. Located directly in gas. At one time he served in military intelligence, at the military base Zimom in the south of Israel;

Eight family members of the Minister for Affairs of the settlements of Orit Structure: four of her children and four son -in -law.
The son of the former Minister of Justice of Yaakov, Neumann Eitan, died in a battle in the border area with gas on the third day of the war. Eitan, the father of seven children, in pre -war life worked as a pediatrician in the emergency department in one of the leading hospitals in the country - "Magpie".

The fighter of the Nakhal brigade died in battle, protecting the Kerem Shala (kibbutz in the southern district of Israel on the border of Israel, Egypt and Gaza.-Ed. ) . He was 21 years old. "
In the process of calling, there is an 18-year-old son of the Minister of National Security of Itamar Ben-Gvira, two convicts of the minister are called up from the reserve.
The son of the current Minister of Science, Innovation and Technologies of Orer Akunis serves in the Navy.
The son of the Minister of Justice Yariv Levin, and his daughter, is a private soldier, is called up to the IDS.
Two children of the Minister of Education Yoava Kisha are called up from the reserve.
Also in the war: the daughter of the Minister of Economics Nira Barkat, two children of the Minister Aliya and the integration of Outir Sofer, all the children of the Minister of Agriculture Avi Dichter, two brothers of the Minister of Finance Bitsalel Smoitsych and the son of the minister without a portfolio, Epheat Shashi-Biton.
The Minister of Diaspora himself in the current government of Amihai Shikli went to his part for the service of service.
The massive set of reservists in Israel was discontinued on the third day of the war: overkill. And so 400 thousand people scored.
Even ultra -organizational Jews expressed a desire to go through a quick call procedure and mobilize to war. Local media wrote that one such orthodox went to war directly from the synagogue.
... I and my little son has not yet been able to get acquainted with the children's therapist in the Tel Aviv Polyclinic-the doctor also left to fight. Getting finally the long-awaited local passport-also: employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to serve. And when I go to the girl-re-players from Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic countries in the salon for manicure, I find them rejoiced and aged: their sons were also called up. Someone protects the border with gas, someone with Lebanon. And some of the relatives remain in Ukraine ... And these girls (I call them that; in fact, of course, forced to be strong mothers and wives) know what sleepless nights are for several years in a row. They say to me by pouring tea: “It is good that your son is still small and does not understand anything when you carry him into shelter. From 4–5 years old, they are already beginning to understand everything here. On one of your mood. ”
And you have to understand the following. This was literally explained to me in the hairdresser, which Tashkent Jews hold - long -standing repatriates from Uzbekistan: “When you live next door to crocodiles ( under them, my hairdresser implies exclusively Hamas terrorists. - V. Ch. ), Sooner or later, these crocodiles will attack you. What happened was not there ... shock. ”
The mood and atmosphere in Israel are now: the nation has rallied. And this is not a vulgar phrase that is so often heard from the screen of Russian TV.
Israel, which the last year was torn off from protests due to judicial reform (now, of course, it was frozen-not up to it), a state in which no one could unite in Knesset and cursed, a state in which many were openly unhappy with a bastard and Kosterili, who was playing the power of Bibi (as the prime minister of non-Tanya is called), is a small state in reality) Remember. The parties left all the ranges and disputes. Citizens do not suit protests. There are no media scrames. The Israeli Internet segment and all networks are only about the dead and hostages. In cities - from small to large - continuous artistic installations about hostages and victims.
Yes, there are questions for intelligence in Israeli society (to put it mildly), namely, what did she do all year, how did she manage to pass the training, perhaps the most terrible terrorist attack in the history of the country? Why did not react to the reports of ordinary soldiers, which was on duty on the border with the gas and informed: the "neighbors" have some suspicious teachings ... But with these issues they do not go to rallies. Everyone somehow, without saying a word, understand:
First, you need to return people from captivity of Hamas, help the victims and families of the dead learn to live again and, of course, successfully finish the military operation in Gaza. All disputes and swearing - then, then the analysis of flights. And he will certainly be.
By the way, here is another obvious incredible Russians for us.
The head of Shabak (the general security service of Israel) Ronen Bar was immediately the first to take responsibility for what had happened. He sent a letter to his employees in which he wrote: “Despite a number of actions we have taken, on October 7 we were not able to warn the fierce attack of the terrorists. I head this organization, and the main responsibility for what happened lies with me. ”
Then the head of Aman (Israeli military intelligence) Arana Khaliv did the same. In his letter to the commanders and soldiers of the intelligence unit, it was said: “I always emphasized in all my statements: the beginning of the war is the failure of intelligence. The Israeli defense army under our command could not warn the cruel terrorist attack <...>. We failed our most important mission. And as the head of the intelligence unit, I am fully responsible for this. ”
And at the end of November, Araon Khaliva announced publicly: he will resign immediately after the fighting in Gaza.
... I will add: in addition to children of the country's military-political leadership, figures of show business and culture were called up from the reserve. Some were killed, such as the producer of the famous series “FAUA” (just about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict) Matan Meir 38 years old. The senior sergeant of the reserve, in early November, along with the four colleagues, checked one of the buildings in the north of the Gaza sector in search of tunnels of the Hamas terrorists. When the military entered the house, an explosion occurred, and they were overwhelmed by fragments. All five, including Matana, died.
Some actors and creators of this series are now serving ...
... Playgrounds in Tel Aviv, where I regularly go with my son for a walk, now look like this: half of the dads there on weekends with machine guns, but in civilian. These dads finally gave dismissive or vacations.
Here is a man, leg on the leg, in shorts and a T -shirt, on a bench and feeds a bottle of a baby, and a machine gun is nearby. Another dad swinging an older child on a swing. A machine gun on the shoulder. The third dad teaches his son driving on a three -wheeled bicycle. Automat with him.
A very familiar picture is already two months old.
So the nation, which was really attacked.
