Blue and white against the Middle Eastern class

The long-term importance of the Gantz and Torch parties is that they eliminated the two leftist parties. These parties - Labor and Meretz - were among the political foundations on which Israeli society was based, and now we see the bourgeoisie of Ramat Aviv and Ramat Hasharon and their kibbutz members, whose privatization has enriched them, spearheading the White on White party, as Ravit Hecht called it in Haaretz. .

Because of Gantz and Torch's tremendous success in eliminating the political left, they feared they might lose some seats if the two left-wing parties did not pass the blockade. Gantz and Torch were the ones who encouraged and created the ridiculous combination of Orly Levi-Axis and Tamar Zandberg. With this miracle cure, Amir Peretz comes to the neighborhoods and the development towns to fumble voices, with the theories of post-Zionists from Meretz's seminary, which reduce Jewish nationalism to a vanishing point.

Peretz, next time, when Gantz and Torch's need for your political existence goes away, see what they think of you. Those who are now breathing you in absurd combinations will be the ones to hurt your party in every way possible. If you really wanted to get out of this flounder, you would wholeheartedly and spiritually join the Likud-led bloc. Your name and Levi's place.

The long-term importance of the Likud and Benjamin Netanyahu in the leadership of the state is in the creation of a class series aimed at creating a new social solidarity between Mizrahi and Ashkenazi that did not take place in Israel. The Likud was the one who created the Middle East, the nose and wrath of the academic establishment, who opposed it and blocked its creation.

50 years after the establishment of the state, in 1998, most sociological studies found that the socio-economic gaps between Mizrahi and Ashkenazi in the second generation are similar to the gaps in the first generation. Despite the expectation of reduction, education and wage gaps have not diminished, and sometimes have increased.

In Israel, as in other developed countries, the acquisition of education is the main route through which to obtain high-level jobs, which will be professionally prestigious and, more importantly, high wages, at their side. Therefore, blocking the access of the university to Mizrahi universities has become the central explanation for maintaining the wage gaps between the groups. And the one who implemented this process was the academic establishment, which under his control at the universities was responsible for maintaining the wage gaps between the Ashkenazi and Mizrahim.

These were not just institutionalized mechanisms of "indirect discrimination" in Mizrahi universities. These were neat mechanisms of deliberate planning that led to the exclusion and exclusion of Mizrahim from the universities and created the lost generation of Mizrahi students in the academy.

Whenever the subject of Mizrahim came up, the academic establishment called for alienating the "sectarian demon"; It is, after all, solely responsible for "academic excellence," and any form of corrective discrimination could adversely affect scientific Israel in a way that cannot be surmised. Alternatively, a president or university rector, one or the other, declared a "generous" program of assistance for five to 10 members of the periphery, claiming that they had sacrificed the tithe worthy of rectifying the situation. Another move of ridicule to Rash.

The same academic establishment that opposed the Mizrahi is now walking hand in hand, intertwined with all its capitals, with blue and white. See the scathing letter of 120 professors weighing themselves against the 120 elected Knesset members, who call on the president and the Knesset to ignore the will of the people in the coming elections, ie to ignore the presumption of innocence and the law and prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a government, even if most citizens support a coalition.

If the same academic establishment comes to power, it will come back and hurt the Likud-led process to reduce gaps in Israeli society. They, the professors "raised from the people," said their words clearly. Now we have to give them an equally clear answer. The state of blue and white is intended to bring us, the Mizrahi, through procedural and legal means, to places of weakness, silliness and obstruction of access. We will not allow that.
