What am I supposed to do now about Bibi taking my entire Saturday night panel?
Translated from HebrewNovember 01 cohort. I was almost always last in the basic-training runs, with grade-2 stress fractures, but I never gave up for a single moment. My brother fought in Golani, my father served in Egoz, my grandfather served in the Palmach, and I am part of this chain of generations. I will be a Border Police fighter. I served in the toughest sectors of the Border Police - East Jerusalem, Hebron, the seam line. The period of the Second Intifada. An attack every two days. And despite that, nothing is more fulfilling than the daily realization that I chose to defend the citizens of the State of Israel. A man recruited for a combat role is obligated. A woman chooses it. Every morning anew. She can get up, decide that it is not for her, transfer to a staff role, and no one will ask questions. And yet she stays. This daily choice, which no one sees, is what makes us such good female fighters. An appreciation evening marking 30 years of women Border Police fighters, and what a privilege to take part in this evening. I salute you.
Translated from HebrewI recommend listening to Mansour Abbas’s full speech to understand what he really means when he talks about a Palestinian state
