The viral enemy at the gate threatens and walks over us like a shadow. Cities across the globe are desolate, crashing economies and apocalyptic reports on television. And Israel? She swayes from side to side, murmuring unclear sentences about unity and a political crisis that should have ended in a temporary or other emergency government.

It is true that because of the Corona, attention and patience for politics are limited. But when all this is over, we cannot forget how, under the cover of the plague, the Israeli left crossed every red political line. Political lessons can be learned right now: how to really control, and how to shake off all inhibitions and hesitations.

These are not gilt red lines, nor are they clearly right. These are principles that even the left wing saw as the basis for political action, but have now been abandoned in the impotent and frothy campaign on the lips to take power.

The most obvious example, of course, is joining the terrorist common list. Whole volumes can be filled with tweets, speeches and statements by blue and white people about the subversive factors that have become their political partners. From Torch to Ya'alon, all the disgrace partners have strongly condemned Ayman Odeh and the members of his list, and have denounced coalition cooperation with them. It is an unprecedented disgrace that even in the colonial party have admitted that it is in complete contradiction to their promises.

The counterfeit war on corruption and racism has also been neglected. What is not said about Avigdor Lieberman from his new colleagues? He was painted and denounced as a corrupt racist and fascist, and as far as any government focus is concerned. From this week he is the protector of Israeli democracy and saves. And there were also the morbid conspiracies that began near the election, with Benny Gantz blaming Netanyahu that the Corona was nothing more than a game tool designed to disrupt the election. He was joined by journalists such as Osher Kotler, who said that the global epidemic was a plot aimed at controlling and frightening crowds.

And if that is not enough, this week bereaved families were treated with disgrace and unprecedented after they sin and dared to protest the collaboration with a list that supports the killers of their loved ones. They became "triggered" and "incited" and were marked as campaign campaigners. MK Ya'alon refused to meet some of them, and MK Karin Elhohrer called them "mercenaries" - and had to apologize.

And there are, of course, the personal laws that for years have been warned of the danger inherent in democracy. Blue and White and its new partners were in a hurry to marvel at three such laws already on Knesset's inauguration. State under siege? A global crisis? emergency? Trifles! The overarching goal is to switch power over the Titanic on the way to the Corona Glacier.

The Partnership of Generals and Terrorists may succeed and reach its destination. The personal and retroactive suggestions may be included in the rulebook. It doesn't matter now; The resources are supposed to be directed to the war against the virus, regardless of the political situation. But the besieged people in Zion see the sights and hear the sounds, and after the flood he will remember the running of the amok and the loss of brakes. And maybe he will even decide that he is also allowed to adopt the new rules.
