Even before October 7, most Israelis were aware that the current prime minister was empowering an extreme ultra-religious coalition with an agenda of reshaping the character of Israel more like an Orthodox Jewish state. , was seeking a new prime minister. This is despite the fact that the secular majority values diversity and the freedom to think and act as one chooses.
It was at this point that people began to look for alternative leadership, mainly centrist, as left-wing Israeli politicians had been somewhat irrelevant in recent years. Despite each candidate’s potential, each candidate possessed the charisma required of a public relations professional: exceptional moral clarity, fearlessness, and the ability to lead unapologetically, as well as We didn’t have anyone who could understand the complex makeup of our country on these issues. group.
Without this right man or woman, nothing will change. But there is no question that Israel still needs a leader whose identity is strong and who knows how to move our country forward and benefit all 10 million of its citizens and residents.
With that in mind, I highly recommend that you set aside 20 minutes to listen to a recent recording of Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan’s address to the United Nations General Assembly. He accuses the GA of being the biggest obstacle to peace by criticizing Israel and refusing to identify the real terrorists and nation-states that brutally oppress people.
He begins by telling the history of Israel and how each generation had to overcome those who sought to destroy Israel as a people. He shattered the characterization of Jews as oppressors, as portrayed by many of the woke pro-Palestinian protesters who occupied college campuses across the country.
Referring to the absurdity of the current debate in the hope of formally recognizing a Palestinian state, Erdan said that there is nothing better than making terrorists believe that their evil efforts have paid off and given them the coveted prize. said that it is not possible to send messages out loud. It further motivates them to continue their heinous goals with impunity.
Eldan says nothing
Erdan paused, accusing the United Nations of promoting yet another rogue state. This state agency will be allowed to do whatever it wants with impunity, like all other terrorist states that will not be reprimanded by United Nations agencies.
Mr. Erdan details all the peace plans presented to the Palestinians so far, explaining that this is not about land. Just as they simply don’t want Israel to exist, protesters on the same campus are calling for the destruction of the Jewish state through chants of “From River to Sea” that erase all Jewish presence in Israel. It’s like listening to what you’re asking for. .
The ambassador is fearless and says it like it is, blaming the United Nations for all the seeds of hatred that are now in full bloom and spreading their poison. He says what is happening today is a direct result of the escalation of anti-Semitism by the United Nations, which believes attacks on Jews are acceptable.
This, he says, is the result of the justification they have consistently given as they continue their anti-Israel stance while ignoring the atrocities of other countries. He boldly confronts them to see the damage they have caused through the brainwashing they have advanced, and to an audience forced to listen to his stinging words in captivity, he declares himself I’m not trying to sugarcoat the message.
He said it was hard to believe that nine sessions of the United Nations General Assembly had been held since the horrific Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terrorists and no one had ever condemned Hamas’ actions. Stated. He’s tired of this organization, he said.
Here he highlights the real failures of the United Nations, pointing out its inaction to stop the war in Sudan that has left tens of thousands of people dead and millions on the brink of starvation. It is said that Myanmar is entering its fourth year of war. Like Pakistan and Iran, Yemen also causes great suffering to its people.
In neither case has the General Assembly convened to find solutions to these many crimes against humanity. Probably because, as he says, he is too busy desecrating the Jewish state.
After all, he called the United Nations a disgusting joke that has no regard for the lives of millions of people around the world, the wars that are being waged, and the death and destruction that is going on, not to mention the Palestinians. I’m here.
Have you ever heard a politician express these things so clearly, clearly, and to the point? If so, I can’t think of one.
Gilad Erdan, 53, has been politically active since 2020. Although he has held various government ministerial positions, he appears to have found his true calling as the most effective Israeli spokesperson, rivaling former government spokesperson Eilon Levy. He was recently removed from his post over petty political considerations.
But Mr. Erdan, who has already served as minister of communications, internal defense, interior affairs, public security, environmental protection, strategic affairs and public affairs, and regional cooperation, is also aware of the complexity of the country’s problems and diverse constituencies. Familiar. .
These many qualified roles, along with his ability to accurately represent the truth in the face of corrupt institutions that have contributed to the world’s chaos, make Erdan the best and most effective person to lead Israel into the next phase of its history. can become.
A job like this requires a strong and steadfast person who can withstand the slings and arrows that will no doubt continue to come our way. Just because we’re fighting the next enemy that will come our way doesn’t mean the world will suddenly change in favor of Israel.
Confronting evil players and their protectors requires confidence, without timidity or difficulty in identifying the true purveyors of oppression, pain, and chaos that are executed and promoted by evil people around the world. A leader who is full of will be needed. On that point, Eldan doesn’t seem bothered by not being able to call a spade a spade.
