Has the Government of Israel Returned to the "Holy Quiet"?
Dr. Aaron Lerner 7 January 2025

"The restoration of sustainable quiet that will lead to a permanent
ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and the
rehabilitation of the Strip."
A quote from the Israeli document that serves as the basis for the hostage
negotiation talks in Doha, including those currently taking place, which was
first published on 07.01.2025 in the evening news on Kan 11.

A reminder for those who may have already forgotten: the people of Israel
endured the greatest disaster since the War of Independence because of the
"holy quiet."

According to the "holy quiet" approach, our enemies are allowed to do
everything - and indeed, they did everything - to prepare for a major attack
against us, as long as they did not make too much "noise" before the day of
reckoning.

I am literally trembling as I write these lines.

How many of our best people sacrificed their lives, the integrity of their
bodies, or their businesses to free us from the disaster caused by the "holy
quiet"?

We are not the "people of the minute," we are the "eternal people."

How is it possible that we are once again returning to the "holy quiet"?
