Corona? This is another Netanyahu spin

A strange event took place this week on the quiet and pastoral beach of Tel Aviv. A bustling and successful hotel has within a few hours turned into an impromptu hospital for those infected with the virus that is spreading in the context of a global scale on a historic scale.

If anyone had read this opening sentence three months ago, he would have been convinced that this was the beginning of a science fiction story, not news. The dimensions of this rolling, frightening event become clearer every day, and it is very difficult to digest them in real time.

But this alarming story, which looks like a fictional scene from an apocalyptic horror movie, is completely real. And in the midst of those days, not far away, protesters gathered to cry out about the real state of emergency in Israel: the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu is still prime minister and the fact that he took advantage of this marginal virus called Corona just to get Israel on the fast track to dictatorship. Because it is known that the emergency measures taken around the world are aligned with Netanyahu and are intended to serve its purpose: to bring fear to continue to control us, the subjects.

The people who fell in love with the "Netanyahu tyrant of Erdogan" have decided to turn a blind eye to a global epidemic that threatens every possible aspect of the lives of billions of people, and remain committed to the one thing that defines them and gives them a sense of belonging and meaning in times of emergency - just not Bibi.

It is almost as if the Corona virus has unintentionally revealed the true virus that has been rampant in Israel over the last decade - the hatred virus for Bibi. A dangerous virus with almost delusional outlines - the people who suffer there place their health and health close to them in second place, with the magnificent hatred for Netanyahu in the first place.

When examining the arguments coming from there, a turbulent emotional world of hate is revealed. Prof. Rivka Carmi, a valued physician and geneticist, argued that the Corona crisis would disappear immediately after the election because he was nothing more than a Netanyahu manipulation. It is a woman of science and education, which raises suspicions that the political position ("just not Bibi") has completely disrupted the need to produce at least a semblance of professionalism and business?

It's been everywhere, on Twitter, in newspaper headlines and street protests all day. While Netanyahu is working to flatten the infectious graph, the "only non-Bibi" virus attackers explain that there is a coup here. Fact: Secret and suspicious meetings converge "in the dead of night," the tyrant exercises a means of monitoring every citizen, and even his sentence is rejected. Is there any point in explaining to them that seven deadly outbreaks of nocturnal meetings are a necessary matter? Should they find out that the trial rejected the composition of the judges, and not Netanyahu? Is there any reason at all to make it clear to them that if we do not take any possible intelligence action to trace the paths of infection - we may weep for generations to come?

Is there any point in making rational arguments in front of people who prevent such incitement and logic from hatred? Great question. So far the Corona crisis indicates that the answer is negative. The hatred of Netanyahu is a force of nature greater than the desire to survive.
