Politicians, stop whining

There is nothing to pity them. Not on a benign fall, nor on July Edelstein and Bennett and Almond and a song container. There is nothing to say "Poor, see what they do" in a low voice and with veiled eyes. These people are politicians, not horticulturists. Their day is based on deals and combinations, flattery and treachery, threats and breach of promises - not compassion and tenderness plus a touch of pleasantness in the back. They are trained to swallow particularly heavy saliva; This is their job.

Autumn Shapir left the Labor party after losing the party's primaries. She weakened the party that was her home and gave her the first political opportunity of her life at a very young age, a party in which she reached a very senior position. Itzik that Molly could have made exactly the same move, choosing not to. So now she is paying the price of the political move she has made. Amir Peretz "kicked" her out, but hey - she's the one who kicked him first.

Yuli Edelstein has been working in close proximity to Netanyahu for years. He knows exactly who he's dealing with. A smart Edelstein man, sophisticated and accurate. Exposed to Likud's Wetsap groups and message boards, he has already seen what happens to those who do not align exactly with the prime minister's line or serve his needs. Did he really think to himself that in this survival struggle, does anyone have limits? Did he really believe that there would be no one to start distributing anonymous text messages that mentioned the fact of being a "son of a priest"?

And here's Michal Shir, who stands on the stage crying, hurting her because she chose to support Gideon Sa'ar. What do you think will happen, that the Prime Minister will call you and say he respects your decision and hopes for a clean and decent deal? That the people who came out of their homes the most filthy campaigns will turn their skin as soon as the fight is in-house? That we won't mark you and Saar as enemies and traitors? That this honor is reserved only for former chiefs of staff who chose to run against Netanyahu?

But the man who has nothing to feel about him and a bit of grief is Naphtali Bennett, the man who was ready to absorb all humiliation and contempt, provided he finds himself up to date on the Northern and Southern Frontiers, not through the newspapers but through the PA. And now he doesn't understand why Netanyahu is threatening to take him away because of politics: Oh my gosh, how does that play in state security, after all, security is above all, isn't it?

There is nothing more oppressive than politicians who claim they are not. Who use the system and tools and its warped value scale, then lined up when using the same tools against them. Anyone who can't bear the heat - who won't go into the kitchen. Because politics is the profession that sharpens the mind - but most destroys the mind.
