Part of the anti-Israel war effort includes attempts to demoralize Israel and its supporters. That is why Hamas, Hezbollah and others try so hard to kidnap Israeli civilians or soldiers, and even to grab dead bodies.
That psychological warfare is on full display in the media and social media. But it’s not working because Israelis know that Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups in Gaza, who fire from among civilians towards civilians, leave Israel with no choice but to fight in a war it didn’t want but in which so much is at stake.
Despite losses from infiltrators and in city combat, Israeli troop morale is high from all reports.
The video below has gone viral on Facebook, with over 30,500 likes and almost 20,000 shares as of this writing.
It shows Israeli soldiers on a break from combat in Gaza singing:
The song is “Who Believes” by Eyal Golan. This is a rough translation (thanks to our Israeli family friend Daniel for the link):
THE ONE WHO BELIEVES Every place, all the timeThe old and young hasBeautiful and less beautiful daysAmong them answers to all the questionsThere is one mighty GodHe gives us everything in this worldBetween darkness to a sun beamWe only need to choose the pathIt is known life is a giftAll is expected and is allowedThe one who believes is not afraidTo lose faithWe all have the King of the universeWho guards us from it allThis nation is a familyOne and one more is the secret of successThe nation of Israel will never give upWe will always stay on the mapIt is known life is a giftAll is expected and is allowedThe one who believes is not afraidTo lose faithWe all have the King of the universeWho guards us from it all
