Albanese and his friends lost; and How to win a war

Albanese and his friends lost

They can’t win.

Carney, Starmer, Macron, Merz can’t win.

Just like Hamas can’t win.

Just like Hezbollah couldn’t win. And Assad of Syria. And Iran.

Just like the antisemites protesting against Israel can’t win.

Not because Israel is a superpower. Superpowers aren’t invincible. Look what happened October 7.

Not because Trump is supporting Israel.

Not because the world knows, deep down, that Israel is fighting a just war.

Albanese and Carney and Macron and Merz and Starmer know, that if they were attacked, they wouldn’t hesitate to defend themselves. But they tell Israel to turn the other cheek, to be merciful. Only Israel is told to turn the other cheek.

The above is true, but it’s not the reason why the haters can’t win.

Here’s the reason: Because G-d is fighting for the Jewish nation.

Remember Egypt, when G-d drowned them in the sea? G-d was fighting for His chosen people. The Egyptians didn’t stand a chance.

And the sooner that Albanese et al realize this, the better off they’ll be.

Because when G-d is fighting against them, they can’t win.

How to win a war

Morale is very important. An army that is motivated, has a huge advantage over soldiers who are demoralized.

So besides physical robustness, soldiers needs to be energized heart and soul.

Generals, who sit behind desks and plan, need to be smart and capable. They often don’t engage in physical combat; rather they strategize and give orders to the combat personnel.

How did King David fight his wars? He sat and studied Torah, while Yoav the son of Tzeruya led the men into battle.

Both were important. Yoav and his soldiers needed to fight on the battlefield, but that alone would not bring victory. King David’s Torah study brought blessing and success to his soldiers’ efforts.

Right now there is fierce disagreement regarding whether those who study Torah should be drafted into the army.

But when you want to win a war, it’s imperative to remember, that not everyone should engage in physical combat. Generals and certain commanders sit at desks, planning strategy. King David sat at home, studying Torah. And so do Yeshiva students.

Israel’s army needs numerous things to win. Planning, shooting rifles, and studying Torah.

They complement each other. And they ensure that G-d blesses Israel’s army with success.
