There are deserters with guns and this concerns us. I don't want to blow this out of proportion.

It's the whole testosterone thing. We like to shoot guns and blow things up.

It's not hard at all. We're both able to do it. Let's just not blow it way out of proportion. We were able to go out for the first time this preseason and be able to get our chemistry and our timing where we want them to be. There's obviously still some time for us to work on that. We were both excited, if we celebrated together or if we celebrated with our other teammates, whatever it may be. We communicated in a way that was suited to both of us.

We will not allow you to escape your responsibilities. We will not tolerate terrorism and the primary objective will be to guard the border.

We are leaving with our heads held high. The decision to leave Gaza was made out of strength, and with it comes a hope for a better future.

Reckless declarations could be given erroneous interpretation and be taken out of context, which could drag the army into an unnecessary public debate over the army's and the state of Israel's policies.
