The ink from the lamentation for the schism that we all need to recover from has not yet dried up and we have not finished being excited by the cries of reconciliation, and in the second that the right bloc is a little small, once a diminutive skylark has opened and an opportunity to embark on a new campaign against right-wing and Netanyahu-the left has returned. Because, as always, they are reconciled when they are about to lose, they yearn for unity when they cannot form a government, and they only care about the will of the people when they represent their position.

Democratic elections ended, and the undemocratic campaign began. In other words, the dubious exercises that are all aimed at trying to override the voter decision, at the cost of changing the rules of the game throughout the game, and to a great extent at all costs - got underway.

It began with a re-appeal to the High Court, which was apparently awaiting written, like ammunition in the arsenal awaiting the firing, so that immediately after the election, it was already filed. What we did not write and say about these petitions, the attempt to repeal a de facto basic law and the unreasonable demand High Court to intervene in the post of President of the State. But beyond the legal matter, it is just as interesting the "moral" justification that suddenly emerged as a reason, namely the need to "balance" the voter's decision in the face of the need to maintain the purity of dimensions.

Simply put, the requirement to "balance" is based on the assumption that the people's choice is unbalanced or logical enough, and the High Court is called to decide between the democratic decision and a minority's desire to impose its worldview on the majority. The elite group that holds in its hands a crystal ball with the definition of purity, Along with new rules that she believes should be applied in the name of the same definition, she assumes that her origins outweigh the people's decision.

And if we thought we had already seen and heard everything from the left-wing anti-democratic creator, a new ingenuity came to her. Knesset members of Blue and White are considering initiating a bill that specifically states that Netanyahu cannot form the next government. In other words, they, who oppose personal and personal laws (such as French law), seek to change a fundamental law in Israel, for personal, retroactive and distorted needs, to effectively cancel the election of more than 2 million people in Netanyahu as their prime ministerial candidate.

To that end, they are building a dubious coalition that relies at the same time on Handel, Hauser, Lieberman, Tibi and Wezbeck. Because they have no problem that a party that opposes the existence of the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people will determine who the next prime minister will be. In the name of "morality," of course. And although they already had the majority needed in the previous Knesset, they waited with the decision until after the elections, effectively deceiving the public and concealing their intentions.

What's new? We remember personal and retroactive legislative changes led by the left. So did Rabin in Oslo (about Goldfarb and Segev), so Olmert did for the appointment of Peres as his replacement. But this time the personal change is even more severe, as it is not only beneficial to one person or another, but it is grazing with much of the people. He trampled on the democratic people's decision in the name of hatred for one person.
