The 6 Day War Vs. the Yom Kippur War, How Do You Account For the Dramatic Difference?

progress. >> Okay. So, Joe reminded me of something that I saw earlier in the week. I uh I got distracted so it wasn't going to be in the um in the in the schedule for today but Joe reminded me the of course says this is referring to the war against but I recently got a safer this past week it's called Mimi Mik's very interesting observation of the difference between the six- day war and the yummipper war. Why was it in the six- day war we had such phenomenal supernatural success and the yumipra war we were almost reeling and it was a miracle that the yeshub survived. How do you account for the discrepancy between the wild victory of the six day war and uh what happened during the yum kipra war and the gerba the base is said the difference is very simple and clear the difference is found in the opening of this week's para did you notice in the opening of this week's par what's the results Hashem, Hashem's going to deliver them in your hands. You're going to be victorious. You'll be you'll take spoils and you'll you could even take the a wild victory. You go out to war and yet you look in paral it says when war comes to your land you'll blow the trumpets. You'll be remembered before before Hashem, you'll be saved. I don't understand. In this week's bar, you go out to war, bam, you have this sudden instantaneous victory. And in a whole long drawn out process. If war comes to your land from the oppressor, you're going to blow the trumpets and Hashem's going to help you. Why all of a sudden in this week's part you have this sudden victory and ink you're lucky you escaped with with the skin on your back with the shirt on your back says the difference lies in where the war takes place. You were proactive. You took the first step. It's on your terms. you have the upper hand. They're reeling until they get their act together. By the time they get themselves together, you've struck decisively. And once you've so to speak got in that beach head and you you you came at the bottom of, you know, top of the first inning, you scored a run, you have them reeling already. So of course, you proactively went to war. Of course, the result is sudden and decisive. But in Paris, it says they struck you first. They came into your land. You were unprepared. Now you have to figure out how you going to There's an enemy in your territory. They've already been preparing. They've already been strategizing. They've already dealt the first critical blow. Now you need to defend yourself. You need to recover. You need to get your feet on the ground. No, it's not so easy. You're going to have to blow the trumpets. You're going to have to recover from that decisive victory. The difference between the Six-Day War and the Yum Kipper war is in the Six-Day War, we took the initiative. We took we made the first blow. We were proactive. The best defense is a good offense. Everybody knows this is just on as an aside. I'm not saying on the shear, but used to be back in the day, everybody was focused on the defense. Now, you know, in in sports, they realize that the best defense is a good offense. If the other team is reeling, then they can't even begin to game plan. the the the basel said the difference between the six day war and the yum war is the six day war it was but the war is and by the way you should know the United States of America was asked by Israel for help before the keer war and uh the United States of America said sorry we can't help you you know if we allow ow you to uh def if we assist you in being proactive then it's going to disturb our relationship with the Arab world. So what you what's going to have to happen is let yourself be attacked and then we'll we'll come defend you. Yeah. But by then it was almost too late. That's the decisive difference, the dramatic difference between and so this safer says likewise when it comes to the war against the sahara you're going to wait until the sahara starts annoying you and then you're going to say hm let me control my anger now you're done you're finished you need to you need to be proactive in a way where you avoid the situation you think you think uh you're going to let the Yates Sahara put you into situations and then you're going to try to recover and overcome. No, no. If you want to be successful in your war against the Yates, you must be proactive against the Yates Sahara. You got to strike first. It has to be on your turf. If you want to win a war, if you want to be successful in war, it's got to be on your turf and on your terms. But once he sahur is proactive and now you have to defend yourself. Now that's much more difficult. That's not as easy. But this is an amazing historical observation based on the theim and theim and it's applicable to warfare and it's applicable to uh the way we deal with the Sahara. So Joe for bringing that up. Okay. >> Recording. That's That's a
