Organized Harassment Won't Deter the Only Israeli Minister Who Cares About the Hostages

The past week saw a rise in the organized campaign of harassment against Gallant. During a press conference, Netanyahu presented a note written in Arabic which had been found in Gaza by troops back in January and was reported by Channel 12 news, that contained directives for waging psychological warfare against Israel. One section states to increase "psychological pressure on Gallant."

At the same time – and not by coincidence – four Likud party Knesset backbenchers sent a letter to the prime minister demanding he fire the entire Israel Defense Forces leadership and the defense minister with it "before beginning the war in Lebanon." Other fringe lawmakers like Moshe Saada and Nissim Vaturi and the Minister of Venom Shlomo Karhi joined the band. Gallant, they asserted, is weak, represents the opposition, and must go.

No one in the party or the cabinet has spoken in defense of Gallant. Even the minister's associates admit the situation is not good. The talk about his being weak is likely to grow. In the meantime, he continues to enjoy the public's confidence, the great majority whom refuse to swallow the poison machine's pills. Thanks to public opinion, Gallant has not been pushed out, even though he "adopted the Hamas narrative," to quote Netanyahu.
