Civil Society Response on October 7

I think that on October seventh, we saw this generation that went out to fight,

the young people who founded the state. But we also saw something very,

very beautiful.

We see civil society coming out and also going out

to fight, not with M16s and not with, uh, vests

and flak jackets, but it came out and sustained the State of Israel.

The image of civil society, of ages— You can say a kind word for me,

I won't.

A kind word—

I, I, I. Wait, I want to— What can you say? Just wait.

One second, I can say many kind words.

I want to focus for a moment on the kind words I'm saying.

There are many people. If I go through them one by one, I have a kind word for every

citizen. Everyone who contributed to the State of Israel on October seventh,

I

say thank you to them. Thank you very much. I—no problem.

Look, uh,

Uh, okay, you can give them some too. No problem. Wait, the microphone is with you. That's perfectly fine.

Okay, fine. In any case, I'll pause my sentence for a moment.

I think civil society organizations proved to us on October 7th, okay,

Uh, they turn out, and it's thousands of young people, thousands of boys and girls from all across

the country.
