Speech Given to Golani Brigade's 13th Battalion Company by Captain Ori Lavie

As reported in this morning's Ha'aretz:

"It's our turn now... It's our turn to protect the border. And we'll carry out any mission we need to, against any force, in the best way possible. If we don't, we have no right to exist."
"We will not lose this war... We did not start it, but it's our duty to protect the Jewish nation and see to it that the residents of Metula and Haifa can live in peace. If we don't do it, no one will. We waited 2,000 years for our own state, and we won't fold because a group of terrorists think that they can scare us."
"Someone who cannot protect his freedom does not deserve it... When missiles and rockets land on all the northern cities and reach Haifa, and when two of our soldiers have been kidnapped and ten have been killed and dozens have been wounded - this is no time to talk, it's time to fight. From the moment we cross the border, you must be super alert, super sharp. We are threatened from every side. Each of you is responsible for his comrades."

Eight soldiers from a different Golani Battalion (the 51st), lost their lives on Wednesday, protecting Israelis from the openly genocidal intentions of Hezbollah.
