Q&A: Stopping the War
Stopping the War
Question
I heard Amir Hetsroni saying that the war should be stopped because of its impact on the economy. He presented a figure from the Ministry of Finance that every day of fighting costs us a billion shekels.
I trust Bibi with my eyes closed (I know you don’t), and it’s clear to me that he took that consideration into account. But it did make me think a bit about whether it’s worth it. What do you think? At this stage, should the war be stopped?
Answer
I don’t have a position. I don’t know if the number is correct, and I also don’t know what the alternative is or what it would cost.
Discussion on Answer
According to your answer, you also trust the leadership; the only difference is that you don’t have the information, so there’s no choice anyway. I have a clear position: I trust the leadership. Another difference between us is that I’m not incited against Bibi, and that’s why I trust him too. And that’s based on experience: he advanced us economically in 2002, brought peace agreements, and moved the State of Israel forward.
The man deserves for us to trust him even with our eyes closed.
Correction: only with eyes closed (for relief).
By the way, trusting Bibi is only with your eyes closed.
