Discussion on Terrorism and Ideology

The terrorist who sets out, sets out to murder

Ella Guez, for example.

There was a committee meeting on the very day she was murdered,

they murdered her and her baby.

And I asked them in the committee, "So what will you do

tonight in Burqin?" That's the village the murderer came from.

"The usual procedure." The usual IDF procedure is called "mowing the lawn."

Every now and then, you have to mow the lawn.

Meaning, you'll enter Burqin, arrest his brother, his grandmother, whoever,

and of course release them after two days, because the system can't do anything with them.

They said, "What do you want?"

I said, "I want the infrastructure."

After all, this guy who came out of Burqin and murdered her,

he went to the mosque last week.

You know the report that I know.

The imam in this mosque says to murder Jews,

to destroy the State of Israel,

and to rape Jewish women. Why aren't you arresting him?

I want his school principal.

This guy who murdered, went to school.

What did he learn there, Gadi?

He studied Tawjihi, right? The Palestinian Authority curriculum.

It's an educational curriculum for the destruction of Israel.

Where did he go in the afternoon, this man?

Here, I'm telling you, he went...

There are two youth movements in the Palestinian Authority,

These are neo-Nazi movements,

like the Hitler Youth,

that educate for the destruction of the State of Israel.

This is the infrastructure. And I am saying all the things

that I can say, and if I could say everything, I would say even more.

So you have an ideological infrastructure, educational infrastructure, social infrastructure, economic infrastructure,

and finally, the military organization,

and finally, the guy who goes out with the Kalashnikov. And you deal with the Kalashnikov.

Now, why is this happening to us?

This is a war of beliefs and opinions, this is a war of ideas.

That's a gatekeeper.

Ultimately, the reason we don't attack the infrastructure is because we don't identify the enemy.

The enemy is not the terrorist or the rifle.

The enemy is the murderous ideology that has power.

Everywhere we give this murderous ideology power,

the result will be, no matter if it's a kitchen knife or a nuclear bomb,

the result will be the destruction of the State of Israel. That is its commandment.

And we, as you said in the definition of a human, neutralized all identities.

Meaning, there is a human, no religious identity, no national identity, no identity…

So the enemy is not identified.

There has been no enemy in the IDF for many years.
