An evil spirit has been passing through the left-wing camp in Israel since 1977. Everything that was steady and well-known up to that point was undermined, and new, better times came to earth. The left thought the upheaval was the result of a historic mistake that needed to be quickly rectified to return to power. In fact, the rise of the Likud to power has become a solid new political base, struggling successfully against them, and since the left, it has been necessary to deal with a united and stable public that rejects its patronage and paganism toward it and shows loyalty to the Likud's path.

Today, many leftists have abandoned the Labor and Meretz parties, which are slowly fading away, joining the Gantz Torch Party. Seemingly these will bring him back to power again. In return, the new Left agreed to close its eyes on the sale of democracy values ​​in the Gantz and Torch leader's parties, allowing those single-mindedly rejecting primaries in their parties. In front of Benjamin Netanyahu and Gideon Sa'ar and the Likud-led elections, Gantz-Torch presents us with marionettes on a string in the shape of their Knesset members. We have not forgotten former MK Adi Cole, the only and last dare to express a position that runs counter to the omnipotent leader of a democratic future.

Furthermore, the New Left camp clings to those arrogant cultural perceptions that led to its repeated failures. This is reflected in the outrage and hatred of a recent interview in Haaretz with Prof. Nissim Mizrahi, from the Department of Sociology at Tel Aviv University. Beyond the venom and the effort to inflict personal and painful harm on Prof. Mizrahi, the responses indicate that it is the same left who, in his view, always has the "problem of Mizrahi and Israeli society", in the words of Prof. Zeev Sternhell.

A left and a new left are coming, and the Mizrahim have the "problem". They once said that the problem was "modernization" and the Mizrahim. We were once called "tribulations in utopia," meaning the Mizrahim blocked the breath of '77 into the perfect and utopian world, and since our arrival in Israel they have been living their fragments of dream. Today, Sternhell and his friends claim that it is "liberalism" that Mizrahis refuse to adopt. Which Orientalist really believes in this nonsense?

Prof. Mizrahi has exposed the violence and hatred of the Left against Mizrahim. These have not changed since 1977. The amazing thing is that the most serious fault of the Mizrahi people is that they are "Jews". At the March conference, when they uttered the word "Jew" in the speech, the conference was about to explode and the speaker had to apologize: "It may be linguistically apologetic." And to those joined by Amir Peretz and Orly Levi-Abaxis? This is not a "technical block" for the elections, it is a conceptual and fundamental crash.

In the Likud, however, when the word "Jew" is spoken, there is no need to apologize. Judaism is an essential part of our culture, of the deep faith it creates between us and brotherhood and destiny. We are proud of that. When the Jews in Europe were taken to concentration camps and extermination camps, they were not taken because they were liberal, opposed to good rule or opposed to progress and equality. They were all taken to death because they were Jews. If the Nazis and their supporters came to Israel and Morocco, Iraq and Yemen, the same fate would have been for the Jews there. Zionism is the Jewish movement of refugees who have been defeated in Europe and in the Islamic countries and denied their integration.

The left wants a secular and universal state that represses or undermines Judaism's values. On the other hand, we see Judaism in Israel, which we have no intention of abandoning, a new spirit that was not before, which can be proudly called - a spirit of freedom.
The real political struggle of the left is not against Benjamin Netanyahu, but against Jewish, social solidarity that has formed around the identification with the Likud based on an equitable partnership. The left-wing struggle, Mashmashi '77, to go back and run the state while pushing the Likud and the eastern public supporting it, will not pass. The '77 must be stopped in the upcoming elections.
