Rabbi Wallerstein zt”l had beautiful words on how our first cheit was lack of gratitude, being kafui tov, and how we need to work hard on this mida/mitzva in order to bring moshiach. While most of you are pontificating about all of the IDF mistakes, (using the volumes of data, knowledge and evidence you must have received from the front considering the confidence in which you post) they themselves stand face to face with barbaric pseudo humans, responsible for figuring out how to keep a country of people alive and well. Perhaps we can stretch ourselves waaaaaaaaay beyond our comfort zones and think of something positive to say about the people who are presently responsible, as Hashem’s shlichim, for the physical aspect of the war. Or just acknowledge the huge responsibility they presently have. Or just actively refrain from spreading negativity and criticism based on nothing at all but ignorance and speculation. Humility goes a long way in making you a better person. Hakaras Hatov is an obligation. Learning to hold your tongue can give life. They haven’t even finished IDing the bodies yet, maybe give it a week.
