It is the patient communication, not the health system

Amnon Abramovich was important to make it clear to the nation the only reason why the mortality rates and the corona virus in Israel are among the lowest in the world: Israel has closed borders. In doing so, he conveniently canceled the vast rescue efforts of the medical system and the rescue forces in the country, because, if God forbid, God would creep into this welcome equation, the human factor as a factor that places Israel as a relatively safe place during the epidemic - someone else might give credit to Litzman or worse - Netanyahu is hated.

Abramovich's argument - in the absence of any other definition - is a failed argument, not only because it is easy to disprove, but mainly because it has a logical failure: Have Israel's closed borders also worked within hospitals? Did Israel's closed borders treat the Corona adhesives? Were Israel's closed borders wearing a mask and gloves, risking their lives, saying goodbye to their families, locking themselves in hospitals, and making nightly days to save those who are in moderate or severe condition? Here are two undeniable factual figures in the world: Israel is one of the safest places in the globe, and the corona mortality rates in Israel are, so far, among the lowest in the world.

These two figures, for some reason, anger Abramovich in particular and the Israeli media in general. The false narrative that the Israeli health system is collapsing from "starvation" is important to these people, and they do not intend to give it up even when reality hits them hard data.

We heard the phrase "starvation of the health system" in the endless news of the weekend, especially in the strange article by Yossi Mizrahi about the Minister of Health Litzman. Mizrahi gathered from the winery and from Goren every possible gossip about Litzman and interviewed renowned medical authorities such as Ofer Shalah (who is just a political opponent who consistently represents a harsh and anti-Haredi position). But that was only a small part of the daunting puzzle put together by Channel 12 News Company in recent days, a puzzle that consisted of wild incitement against the ultra-Orthodox sector and against those who head it.

A short note detailing the false data from the studios to the Israeli public - Litzman did not violate the regulations when he prayed in the synagogue, did not refuse his telephone, most of the ultra-Orthodox public is not lawless, and the Israeli health system is not starving - if not the other decade - not only Netanyahu Didn't starve the system - he fed it for a fortnight, almost defeated it, because here's the figure that no studio would dare reveal to the people of Israel: The health budget has grown quite a bit in its decade.

The efforts of Litzman and Netanyahu bore fruit and made Israel one of the safest places in the world right now. This is true in an epidemic and it is true even nowadays - in Israel, life expectancy is one of the highest in the world, a direct result of a good and functioning health system. The political loathing of the studio's residents towards the right and the ultra-Orthodox produces an interesting phenomenon - the people are convinced that his excellent health system is disrupted, when in fact, who is really sick is the media.
