''IDF is the most moral army in the world, i repeat, the most moral army in the world...'' Knesset member, May Golan
Deputy foreign minister, Idan Roll, in a webinar for Hesbara activists: ''One of the biggest challenges is to fulfill as many operational goals as possible and as quickly as possible before international political pressure requires the country to halt its campaign. This determines how much breathing space the world gives us to continue hitting our targets. This is where Hasbara gives us time and gives us legitimacy to act and protect ourselves.''
