In the fight against a global epidemic, unparalleled since the turn of the last century, we need to unite forces - in a nation, but the current government fails to create cohesion when it unites "just not Bibi" - and treats at-risk populations like the Eskimos towards the elderly, just without throwing them into the plains The ice.
Unlike the previous government, which radiated cohesion and determination forever, the current government is a government of four heads or more and each minister acts, or interferes and opposes, according to his views and therefore no one, except the professional echelon in the Ministry of Health, tries to save and reduce damage.
Some of the members of the cabinet - the senior ministers in the government, did not appear in the corona cabinet at all.
For some of the liberal wing - who are the majority in the current government, the restrictions on movement and the duty of masks are contrary to the values of individual freedom (not to mention forcing vaccines) and they act that way, or do not act, in their own way.
Bennett canceled and folded
For example, Naftali Bennett was forced to cancel the green label in malls despite his will, due to opposition from ministers.
Although as a compromise, the restriction of occupancy in them was promised, and increased enforcement of masks - but as revealed in Maariv, in practice it is not carried out.
Similarly, it was stipulated that the control of masks in public transport would be restored, and "the directive of the Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, to supervise the Korona regulations and masks in public transport" was published as early as July.
But in practice there is no supervision of buses, the light rail carriages in Jerusalem look like the busy buses in India - Corona incubates in the absence of inspectors, and when they appear it is difficult for them to pass between the passengers due to overcrowding.
Density and lack of enforcement.

Instead of protecting the passengers, Transport Minister Merav Michaeli was engaged in a media fight and endangering civilian lives against the Ministry of Finance regarding restrictions on aviation.
And the Minister of Internal Security, Amar Bar-Lev, who is supposed to be responsible for enforcement?
Deals with the boys of the hills.
The chaos of Shasha Bitton
The most prominent of them all in the media is Education Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton, who fights regularly and no matter what.
Just last weekend, she again spoke out strongly against the government's actions, claiming that "the Ministry of Health is creating chaos on the issue of vaccines in schools."
Even when she was a MK and chair of a committee in the Knesset, Shasha Bitton came out against the restrictions in public spaces and demanded the operation of the closed and sweaty gyms - despite a wave of Corona.
Relatives of the director general of the Ministry of Education she fired, Brigadier General Yigal Slovik, for example, claimed in the media that one of the main disputes between him and the minister was that he was being vaccinated in schools, despite the minister's opposition, adding: .

It turns out in retrospect that Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked's statement about the inclusion of the dead and sick was not a whim but an economic ideology that was actually adopted by the government.
And perhaps it is the explanation for Naftali Bennett's great failure as prime minister and political partner - in leading the struggle that was not there, in the face of the plague.
Instead of Israel fighting the wave of the plague - as in the past, in practice it has moved to the model: "living alongside the plague."
Just as Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman is currently doing, preventing decisions on closures so as not to pay unemployment benefits - a panacea for a budget deficit.
And those who need to converge at home due to the health risk or age - will solve their financial problems or go to work - despite the risks.
Thus, distorted right-wing economic principles - of a 'man for his own soul', were combined with distorted liberalism values from the left, in which there is no enforcement, so as not to infringe on individual freedom.
Not in stadiums and not at New Year's Eve parties.
Even Bennett says this today realizing where we have come from.
Therefore, if you are at risk due to age or background illnesses - take care of yourself.
And go get vaccinated.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
