On October 7, Hamas terrorists invaded Kibbutz Be’eri. Avida Bechar held the safe-room door shut as jihadis tried to break in and murder his family. He stopped them from entering, but could not stop the bullets that killed his wife Dana and teenage son Carmel, who bled out in front of him. Avida was shot and lost his leg. He and his daughter survived. Few Israelis have paid a heavier price.
When Avida speaks, every Jew and every Israeli should listen.
After the recent murder of two Jews near the Arab village of Tel in Judea and Samaria, Avida asked the question Israel still has not answered nearly three years after October 7: “The question isn’t who is to blame, but what have we learned from this attack?”
For decades Israel measured success by tactical wins — terrorists killed, rockets intercepted, temporary quiet. October 7 exposed that approach as bankrupt. Avida says the only language jihadis understand is permanent loss of land. After October 7 the jihadis in Gaza should lose Gaza. After the Tel attack, the village that produced the killers should no longer exist.
“We never even defined what victory is. We never defined who the enemy is,” Avida said. “We have an incredible generation of fighters. Just define clear missions for them and let them win.”
Terrorists are not the full enemy. Hamas is not the full enemy. The enemy is a 1,400-year-old jihadi ideology that has been massacring Jews since long before 1948 in 1929, 1936, and in Khaybar in 628 CE. That is why protesters across the West still chant “Khaybar, Khaybar ya Yahud.”
Avida’s most painful words: “My biggest problem is that my son, my wife, and thousands of others will have died for nothing.”
That fear must drive us. Israel cannot keep fighting the same enemy from the same territory under the same rules. Victory means the enemy permanently loses the ability to attack again.
Listen to the survivors. Define the enemy. Define victory. Stop the denial.
Israel must be the model for the freedom-loving world in putting a stop to the evil jihadi Islam in our midst.
Am Yisrael Chai.
