Tests are an inescapable and necessary fact of life. Can you imagine allowing anyone who has not proven that they know the rules of safe driving to have access to our roads as a driver? Or perhaps an even more extreme illustration…Who would allow a surgeon who had not mastered the required anatomy classes to operate on their body? Yes, tests are necessary to demonstrate proficiency.
The nation of Israel is often misunderstood and misrepresented in the global media—many times deliberately. For example, when speaking of Israel’s efforts to bring an end to a deadly wave of terror attacks in Judea and Samaria, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir made the comment, “The right to life precedes freedom of movement.” The outrage in the press was palpable. Ben-Gvir’s statement was interpreted—and communicated—as Israel punishing the Palestinians with increasing restrictions in the form of additional checkpoints in Judea and Samaria.
It became so intense that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement of explanation. “Israel allows maximum freedom of movement in Judea and Samaria for both Israelis and Palestinians,” he said. “Unfortunately, Palestinian terrorists take advantage of this freedom of movement to murder Israeli women, children and families by ambushing them at certain points on different routes.”
