If there were no protest…

Orit Hazzan

 

They say the war broke out because of the social protest

but

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t have a people’s army

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t remember why we are here

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t realize how much we love our country

 

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t be so familiar with the Declaration of Independence

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t have reconnected to our flag and to our anthem

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t know how to fight for a dream

 

If there were no protest, we wouldn’t know what Kaplan is and come support the families of the kidnapped

If there were no protest, who would welcome the families of the kidnapped at the UN?

 

If there were no protest, there wouldn’t have been a technological infrastructure ready for the immediate launch of the civilian War Room

If there were no protest, we would be really surprised by the government’s failure to function

 

If there were no protest, there would no longer be a strong supreme court to protect our soldiers during the war

If there were no protest, we would have forgotten that we are a people

 

If there were no protest,

so I believe,

when the war broke out,

we would not already be in the midst of a battle for the existence of the state, prepared for war and ready to fight for its spirit

and maybe it would have been too late,

and we would not have been able to save it.

 

But,

there was a protest…

and so thanks to the protest,

we will win the war and rebuild our country and nation.
