Today Israeli society has changed. We have increased investment in protection by hundreds of percent. If you are in an unprotected vehicle and you are attacked you are finished. But if you are protected you can counterattack. You can see this in the recent incidents in south Lebanon.
Protection is a means of battle.
It does not mean we are cowards. The fighting spirit is something else. We draft wonderful boys who volunteer for combat units. But like every society there are developments that we have to cope with. People have to understand that we have not reached the stage of repose.
