In Israel, lies are an industry, a very popular commodity. Anyone who wants to tell the truth is considered part of the depressing manufacturers of depression, such as the leftists, Haaretz, and the like.
This is what an Israeli writer said in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, pointing out that the main goal of the appearance of the occupation army spokesman, Daniel Hagari, is to “put lipstick on nonsense,” and whoever believes him should remember “the euphoria we felt after we struck the tunnels of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). ) in Gaza in May 2021.
Chaim Levinson recalled that bombing, saying, “One afternoon in May 2021, during an operation in the Gaza Strip, I posted an audio message on a very large group on the WhatsApp application, and this message was attributed to the commander of the Israeli Air Force at the time, Amikam Norkin, in which he described “Allegedly, the bombing of Hamas tunnels in Gaza.”
to lie
The message continued: “Last night, the Israeli army turned everything upside down. We tore them to pieces in one of the largest air force operations ever, sending 160 planes in less than half an hour into a very narrow space, one of the most “We eliminated 450 armed fighters and destroyed all their tunnels and firing pits, and they still have not recovered from the horror of what we did to them.”
The writer commented on this by saying that they want to convince us that our army is formidable, that our air force is unparalleled in the world, and that “Hamas” received a fatal blow. This is a word that the Israelis love, and they also love another word, which is “deterrence,” as in their saying: “We have achieved Deterrence.”
The writer highlighted that politicians, reserve generals, and journalists all agreed to confirm these lies until the October 7 operation came to refute all of this, “but we can only blame ourselves, as we Israelis are a people who love to be lied to,” according to the writer.
This is what made Levinson define the main task of the Israeli army spokesman as “putting lipstick on nonsense,” as “in the end, no one wants to hear that we have a mediocre army with failed intelligence services, an army that has been brought to its knees by a terrorist group,” as he claimed.
hallucination
The writer wondered, “What did they not tell us and what hallucinations did they tell about the bombing of the tunnels in May 2021?”, adding that Israeli officials described that operation as incomparably wonderful.
Here, the writer advised Israel to rehabilitate itself from many things since October 7, especially “lying to ourselves,” saying: “We enjoy public relations campaigns, videos, and messages, but we ignore that we are the only target audience, not those outside.”
For 15 years, the writer says, we have had a prime minister who is a master of lying, and one can understand the human tendency to believe that everything is good, not bad, and people’s desire to hear about the amazing Air Force planes, artificial intelligence, cyber hackers, and special forces.
It is reassuring, Levinson adds, to dream of the Mossad assassinating the head of the Iranian nuclear program, and it is more enjoyable to wake up to happy analysts than to wake up to pessimistic critics who tell us that the Israeli army is not ready for escalation, and that we are not as strong as we would like to be. Our leaders are somewhere between mediocrity and failure.
But he emphasizes that drug use has a price. The day the substance of consumption ends, the need for rehabilitation arises, indicating that lying has a short lifespan and selling illusions must be exposed one day.
