How True is the Propaganda Item Revealing • The Three Colonels are a longing song for what was once here, the old Israel - towering, white and chauvinist
Blue and white ad
Take a deep look at this image: three colonels look at you, glittering ranks on their shoulders, their uniforms ironed and behind them the national flags and the army of the people. Below: "Professional Cabinet". On the other hand, in black and white and unflattering expressions, the images of the antithesis are embedded: the dos, the homos and the eastern beast. Who do you choose, the Colonels ask - in our rank-and-file cabinet or the "Amateur Cabinet"?
How much truth this propaganda item reveals. How much can be learned from him about the adoration of covert militarism, which the slogans of peace and civil society of the Israeli left have suppressed in the depths of consciousness. How visible is the subtle boundary between statehood and fascism, and what story does he tell us about a latent longing for a strong man to come, take command and make order here (and by the way, men did not go unnoticed by Yair Lapid from the testosterone collage).

The three colonels are a longing song for what was once here, good old Israel, towering, white and chauvinistic, but it looks like we like it, pretty and pretty. A beloved country ruled by our "officials", officers and politicians, before the "other" invasion, which destroyed every good part with their amateurism and democracy. But nothing to worry about. There are those who will do the damage of democracy and make sure to banish this non-strategic religious-eastern darkness. He looks at you fiercely from the chief of staff's office from which he has never really come out.

What about propaganda: have you demonstrated? no budget!
Three colonels are also looking at you, the citizens of Israel II. You, too, have to go to the stand and give them the keys, because you are not made of the right stuff. Trust them; While they may not necessarily have done their job in the past, but to purge the country of the scourge that stole the country, they will do what needs to be done. So salute if you know what is good for you, because it is us or them, and that must move forward in command.

And something else: Have you ever noticed that Israel has a separate sub-genre of propaganda, which can be called "Shabash propaganda"? His most prominent stars, in the Netanyahu era, are Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, who apparently feel that Netanyahu's tenure continues to dwarf his legacy as prime minister. The ultimate genre star was recently lightning, but this week ousted him from his standing, Olmert, who announced his intention to meet with Abu Mazen and to join him against Trump's century plan.
A former prime minister connected to the PA chairman in the midst of a wave of terrorist attacks against an incumbent prime minister is a shameful, stupid, insidious and narcissistic thing in itself. The fact that it comes from someone who at the end of his term almost gave up on the Western Wall, and that also failed to convince the Partner, makes the show far more unflinching and self-conscious. Where you went, you know.
