"The Enemy Has Made A Huge Fatal Mistake"

Freelance journalist writes Why Our Enemies Will Lose in Arutz Sheva:

...Mistakes have been made by leaders in Israel, and will continue, but the enemy has made a huge fatal mistake. The composition of the Jewish State is very different from that which the outside world believes it to be, and as portrayed in the press. It is different from the copycat of a book-type democracy that many would want Israel to be. The majority of Israel's newspapers do not reflect the demographics of Israel. The media's agenda is mainly controlled by the few secular leftists privileged to be in key positions in politics, government, the press - but not the army. This will be the last generation to be in these positions of power. They are now a minority group, being overtaken by Middle Israel.

Middle Israel is a different story. The majority of Israelis are now of Sephardi backgrounds, due to their high birthrate; their parents and grandparents having grown up with Arabs. Their socioeconomic status has risen to the stage where they have equal participation, but not majority leadership, in the economy and politics. The army is the exception, where leadership is now held by a broad representation of Israelis.

Middle Israel understands how to deal with the Middle Eastern mentality. The enemy values death over life. It takes a lot of courage for a whole country to send their youth to the army when life, not death, is paramount, but when the very existence of Israel is at stake, it is done, no questions asked.

Maybe. But is the issue one of understanding how to deal with our enemies or just having the wherewithal to actually go ahead and do what needs to be done?

Will any Israeli leader be able to withstand the pressures of the West?
