When the mist of bitterness is sprinkled, a gem is revealed, which should excite all equality and multicultural advocates in Israel: the 35th government is the most eastern government in the history of the country.

What didn't they say about her? A government of corrupt, deflated, disgusted, detached, the government that would destroy the rule of law. And what do I see? The second Israeli government, as defined by my colleague, Dr. Avishay Ben Haim. "The gap between the Israeli public and his government has never been so great," MK Rabbi Michaeli tweeted. Just the opposite. There has never been a government so close to the public.

If I wanted to see some change in the system of government in Israel, I would love to see regional representation. why? Because then we had a Knesset, and by so did a government, which would embody the complex human diversity and so many different needs of Israeli citizens. The needs and interests of the residents of Dimona or Sderot are not comparable to those of the residents of Ramat Hasharon or Herzliya Pituach. Needs are different, and so is the level of representation. This was so until the establishment of this government.

In the current government, former Yeruham Mayor and Education Department director Michael Biton and Hilly Trooper can be found in significant and important ministerial positions. It's not just symbolic. It is significant and important that these two cannot forget for a moment where they came from, and I know with all my mental capacities that they will not let go of a job for a moment, taking care of every moment of the public whose daily lives are interwoven.

A government whose two members are members of the Ethiopian Jewish community, Pnina Tamanu-Shethe and Capricorn Jabarkan. Let us not be told of a disconnect, because it is clear to everyone who knows them both that they came to work for the public who sent them. Tamanu Shetah will continue to promote the recent immigration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, and as Deputy Minister of Public Security, Barkan will not rest until the detention curve of the youth of the community is leveled. 

True, it may have been "inflated" in a number of soils, and some of the office space has been roughly joined. But this is perhaps the only way to ensure that the many areas that were concentrated until yesterday in the Prime Minister's Office or under overly busy ministers will be awarded to a "projector" in the form of a minister whose entire resources, energy and prestige are invested in their promotion. 

The murky reactions to the unifying image of the first-second unity government between Israel reached new heights of racism. Things plagued by Uncle Amsalem or Orly Levi-Abaxis exceeded any sane norm of critical discourse. But the bout of disgust is nothing but a reaction; A reaction stemming from the concern of the first trustees of Israel, whose centers of power remain under their influence, are being "stolen" by the representatives of the second Israel. Thus became political success stories, which until many years ago could only be imagined, the object of ridicule and contempt. The limits of tolerance and pluralism have never been clearer. But the concern of government critics is justified. Here we have stolen the state for you, and now there are chances that the priorities will change. 

Now the second Israeli ministers must reach out to the third Israel: In the next few improvements, make sure you appoint an Arab minister.
