Her gnarled face and teary eyes reflected to us from every screen of the past week. Even those who did not tolerate her - and there are many on both the right and the left - managed to sense for a moment a touch of empathy for the agitated redhead that lay before her eyes. Shapiro Fall is the big loser of the March 2020 elections; The one that was dumped as unnecessary waste by the side of the road and crushed under the wheels of the left-wing parties.
There is no question at all that she herself has to do urgently for a home and soul check. She managed to quarrel and annoy quite a few colleagues at the Mishkan. In the Labor Party, she became a red sheet when she left the party, and in the short period she joined Meretz, there were complaints about her arrogance, condescension, labor relations and raised nose.
But all this does not contradict the simple fact that Shapir received a one-off glass from her friends. Use and throw. Just a few months ago, under the fear that she would not pass the blockade, Meretz filed for leave, and conditioned the union with "Democratic Israel" in bringing the energetic MK to the Democratic camp. And so it was. The Democratic camp stood, excited about the podium between Nitzan Horowitz To Ehud Barak, and his new party members received high praise for their courage and political sacrifice, Shapir left a strong and secure place in the Labor Party (second place in the party's primaries) and rescued Meretz, which is at least the story they sold us. She is betrayed by her friends, begging for her life and about to find herself thrown out in the new connection Gene Habodh-gsr Meretz. Even if at the last minute found a solution for her stress, anguish and humiliation trip last - sent a message indelibly.
Benign is not alone. It is the Torah example, one of many, of the abyss that extends between the lofty values ​​that have engendered the flag of the left parties and their actual conduct. Beautiful words like decency, statehood, solidarity, camaraderie and equality do not reflect much of the reality in these parties, in which their behavior demonstrates cruelty, treachery, revenge and lack of compassion. No sentiments for anyone.
This can be attested to by any "former" head of the Labor Party, already nicknamed "a party eating its heads." She felt this on her flesh, too, Tzipi Livni, who was dismissed live in a disgraceful and humiliating ceremony. Testimony to this is Issawi Fridge, who saved Meretz in the First A elections (thanks to the votes he brought from the Arab sector), and as a thank-you was thrown into the unrealistic sixth place and pushed out of the Knesset, and now, on the third, he found himself, much to his astonishment, Far from the bottom of the list, place 11. And this is another party that preaches to the world about Jewish-Arab equality and partnership.
In politics, the message conveyed in actions and actions is stronger and clearer than beautiful words. But in the kingdom of the left, words separate and deeds separate. The left is constantly boasting of moral superiority, land, humanity and basic human decency. But in his behavior he proves endless cruelty and vengeance.
