The Hebrew newspaper "Maariv" - General Yitzhak Barik: In public debates they talk about "security", while ignoring the fact that the IDF's ground forces are suffering from a comprehensive structural and moral collapse. It no longer has the necessary operational capacity to protect the country's borders against simultaneous, external and internal threats, threats of a magnitude that the country has not witnessed since its establishment. The ongoing war - which failed to achieve any of its goals, and will never achieve them - has pushed the national debt to an unimaginably huge amount of NIS 1.4 trillion, a debt that is growing at an incredible rate and is suffocating the future of our children. - "Israel" has become a pariah state and a source of disgust all over the world. We have lost our legitimacy, we have lost our alliances, and our country has become vulnerable to a rising and unprecedented wave of "anti-Semitism" sweeping the world. The fate of every pariah state is to disintegrate and slide down the slope of history until it disappears completely from the map.
