Elections on the Future of Revolution

Two weeks into the elections, and the left also seems to recognize this: neither the path of blue and white as a governing alternative nor the leadership skills of the Gantz are at the heart of the current election campaign. The things that are at stake, and around them all the parties in the election campaign, are the status of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud's path.

It took a long time before they even agreed to express this simple truth on the left, but here it comes out, mainly because things have reached a level of transparency approaching fraud. When Lieberman is ready to sit down with Zandberg, who called him the most corrupt and racist man a week ago; When the "Fifth Corps", according to Lieberman, work in a hiding with blue-and-white people to avoid; When Handel-Bogie-Gantz's White Tribe closes a deal with Orly Levi-Axis - it is clear that there is no deep essence that creates minimal coherence between the "left-center bloc", other than the joint effort to end Netanyahu's tenure, and stem the Likud's change of ten years The latest.

In statements by members of Blue and White, the contradictions came to an absurdity; One MK demands that the gas be left in the ground, and then another, to direct the gas profits to investment in education. Public appearances show the unwillingness to commit to a decisive position. "If required, if necessary, if requested." This is not only an inability to consolidate Saying, but about the lack of ability - and authority - to make practical decisions, one may, and perhaps should, suspect that control of this party is done from the outside; not in the conspiracy sense, but in the simple sense: it is a party that will allow officials to determine the furor, which will allow non-elected bodies to shape policy. This means "statehood" in this context. The symbiosis between this party and the military, legal and Histadrut officials is well known. A blue-and-white victory will be clearly credited to those entities that, without their intervention through Netanyahu's files, would not have created the conditions for turning blue-white into the alternative from the outset. The civilians who "suffered" from allocating budgets to the periphery, and earning the justice system, which can breathe and know that its big threat has been removed, and its excessive power is not in danger.

It is also clear who will lose. If it is already agreed that white blue is a party that blows alienated spirit into "Second Israel," then one should be honest to the end and ask: the blue water is meant to stop, and why. And the answer: those who most deeply represent the social, general and political interests of Israel II today: Mizrahi, periphery, immigrants from the USSR - and if the discourse is ignored for a moment, so are non-Jewish citizens. This is a decade of social mobility that is about to end.

Israel is therefore going to the elections, not on the road, but on whether the revolution will stop or continue. With all the difficulty that Netanyahu may cause, he stands to be chosen not only as a leader, but as a means of triumphing over the officials. It is through the Likud versus the clerical way, whose victory is largely the end of the Jewish state as we knew it.
