"A Time for Peace and a Time for War"

(Times of Israel) Carrie Keller-Lynn - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, announcing Israel's national emergency government on Wednesday, said, "The Jewish nation is unified, and today its leadership is also unified." "We saw the barbarians that we are facing. We saw a cruel enemy. An enemy worse than ISIS. We saw boys and girls, bound, shot in the head. Men and women burned alive. Young women raped and slaughtered. Fighters decapitated....In one place, they set fire to tires around them and burned them alive. How staggering the atrocity. How great the pain." He also cited the acts of heroism of those who fought the terrorists. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, "Hamas - the Islamic State of Gaza - will be wiped from the face of the earth. It will not continue to exist. There will be no situation in which Israeli children are murdered and we all go about our business." National Unity party head Benny Gantz, a former IDF chief of staff and defense minister, said, "Our standing here, shoulder to shoulder, is a clear message to our enemies, and more important than that, a message to all of Israel, we are together, we're all enlisted in this." Gantz said that "extraordinary actions" will be taken, and that "this war will provide security for years ahead for all of Israel." "The enemy will be destroyed. Security will be restored. The killing grounds where our heroes fell will be rebuilt. The entire State of Israel will thrive again. There's a time for peace and a time for war; now is the time for war," Gantz said.
