Black flags on white nights

If there were real left-wingers here, what would really interest them these days are 500,000 Israeli men and women who lost their headquarters this month. Usually these people are the weakest in Israeli society as well: temporary workers, administrative workers, older workers or workers who earn a minimum wage.

These workers live in the geographic and social periphery of Israel, and for them the current situation is a state of existential uncertainty. What really worries them is what's going to happen in the next few weeks. These people (and I in them) have no great savings that can give us air to breathe, which will allow us to survive the next few weeks at the food level, pay rent, bills, etc.

Existential anxiety, which is of course accompanied by health anxiety, characterizes these difficult days when we are all housed in our homes with our children, with daily concern for our parents, our families. We keep our eyes on those who were supposed to care for us and make sure we don't fall apart.

And not only are we experiencing these anxieties. The truth is that a large majority of Israeli residents, even those on the face of what appear to be a bit more likely, already understand that what was not what it will be, and that we are all going to days of uncertainty and difficult struggles as a community, as a society and as a state.

And it is precisely these days that many of my camp decided to raise black flags, in the struggle I look at and realize that it is cut off - completely cut off from the way they should have been. Detached from the public, detached from the situation, a world war on a privileged fantasy of people who have nothing real to fight about. Once again the same slogans of democracy, of Erdogan, and of how they are once again stealing their country - and all this in a dramatic pathos, as if military rule would soon be established here.

In the revival of Avocum, we all know where we live, we all know the State of Israel and the way things are happening here, and right now it is a time of crisis. A difficult and complex time you needed, you were chosen from all corners of the political spectrum, resetting and transcending the personal tensions and political dramas that are of no interest to anyone at the moment.

You should understand that in the end, Netanyahu is managing things fairly well, as leaders from around the world who are aided by him and the professional staff around him tell us. You really needed to put Israel first and foremost to find a solution for the coming period that would allow an agreed government to formulate and execute a clear and clear plan in the coming weeks. One that everyone understands that shared responsibility must be accepted, so that we can get out of this crisis and rebuild and rebuild.

You have more time to reset yourself, Benny Gantz, Amir Peretz - you are the messengers of this great public, who are expecting you these days to put everything aside, ego, political interests, combines, and take part in the national mission that is ahead of us as the whole world gathers to deal with events The hardest we have known in recent decades. Take care of yourself, and one time look at us too.
