Israel on the way to the Banana Republic

In the banana republic, or hummus, every general (sometimes even a major) is a mother king in command of tanks, and every chief of staff - Caesar. This is probably the case with us, even without the tanks. In the banana republic, the "high security rank" states. In Israel he thwarted strategic actions Initiated by the political echelon, more than once. Because we have every sure general he is born to lead, and every chief of staff is convinced that he deserves to be prime minister, at least.

Otherwise, why was the former chief of staff, a kind but gray man who was one of those who served as chief of staff at a time when according to the crushing reports of Maj. Gen. Isaac Brick, the IDF had descended to the lowest level (there is no evidence, of course, that he was responsible for the decline, but There is some proof that neither he nor another cockfight chief of staff did anything to stop her) - dedicates every word that comes out of his mouth to attack a very successful prime minister arrogantly, and does not devote even one word to explaining to the public why no man has any political training and another, His attempt to run a business was a fiasco, and even worse, could he be a serious prime ministerial candidate while Israel was facing an existential threat like no other?

On the basis of what, in fact, should legitimacy be made to position himself as a worthy candidate for prime minister, and more so during a severe crisis? On what basis does he have the courage to evade his obligation to publicly present his positions and to persuade us to entrust our fate and destiny to our children? After all, even his record as chief of staff does not necessarily indicate that he will be able to lead the security system during an existential crisis, so what prepares him to lead the entire complex campaign? We have not yet heard what exactly he plans to do to deal with the crises that lie ahead. Alone repeating the obsessive mantras of the "just-bibby" camp?

In his book "A Long Way," Retired Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon wrote: Following the failure of the Oslo Accords, "leaders, officers, government officials and journalists, all senior executives, gave a kind of silent connection, which was intended to foster the illusion of Oslo ... This failure reflected To a large extent the failure of government systems to deal with the country's major problems ... The civilian system (and according to Brick's testimony, also the military, DR) tends to be superficial, amateurish and politically concerned ... The decision-making in Israel is influenced by the factors Power, having authority without being held accountable ... the owners of capital, the media and the Supreme Court and the senior officials ... Veron is totally in the environment, a blindness that senior officials in Israel systematically cultivate and preserve. "

Under this blindness, all kinds of transgressions, especially from the security system, can get to the highest levels of government as in the Banana Republic, even if they have not proven to be qualified. Enough if they, irresponsibly, raise the Bibi haters reservoir irresponsibly, which is the pathological hate camp that has poisoned Israeli politics for generations, since Mapai took control of the settlement in the country with the help of pathological hatred for those who divide it. Israel.
