To the British newspaper The Sun he explained that, in the Israeli army, 20% of soldiers are women. “I read about a female commander whose unit killed 100 terrorists,” he said. «If it comes to a situation where I have to shoot, then I have no doubts. I have no other choice. Hamas has declared war and therefore we have no choice but to fight for our lives.”
And, to those who think it’s “strange that young women like me go to war”, he explains: “We grew up hearing sirens all the time, knowing that we would be doing national service and knowing that we are surrounded by people who educate their children, from the age of six to kill Jews. I am fighting not only for my life, but for all those who value life.” According to Kinneret, Israelis are sacrificing themselves not only for their country, but also for the West. “That’s why world leaders like Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak have been here. They understand that if Israel does not defeat Hamas, the West will be next in line».

The young Israeli reservist has already lost a friend in this war: «He was murdered in the days after the attack on October 7. But I haven’t cried for him yet either. I’ll find time to do it later, when we win the war. There is a part of me that will always remain a soldier. I may become a lawyer one day, but I will always be an officer of the Israel Defense Forces.”
