Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial is set to begin this Sunday. Among the left, a great feature and excitement. Their vigorous activists began to mobilize and prepare for a demonstration in front of the court to see the "victory of democracy". The usual democratic tools of election and persuasion of the public in their righteousness failed, and they remained in a broken trough. The first day of the trial became a consolation prize for a long line of losses incurred. You can understand why they are excited for a holiday, and promise to come with their black flags. 

My friends and I will be waiting for them there, with blue and white flags, in the courtyard in front of the court to express their support for Netanyahu and the hope that he will be acquitted of all guilt by the court. The recommendations of the "fight against corruption" and "the defense of democracy" do not impress us. Anyone who is not alarmed by the lies and threats and intimidations that were spread during the last three campaigns against the Likud and Netanyahu should also stand firm in the current struggle. Those who come from Ashkelon and from the Incidents, from Tiberias and from Be'er Sheva, are not "cult" or "personality worship" partners, and certainly are not "enemies of democracy." These are critical citizens, who recognize 

the deep sentiment and rationally analyze the part of the trial in a long and ongoing move against the right. They want to protest. 

The left and its partners have tried every possible way to dismantle the camp led by Likud and Netanyahu. Things came to light so that from the left they sent pages at the bottom of which were signed and all it took was for the right-wingers to fulfill their demands as they pleased. That didn't help them either, and they were scornfully rejected. Moreover, what they wanted to do to the right bloc occurred to them, in the great fragment of a crash that sounded from one end of the country to the other. The new government was established only with Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, the left descending from one to the other is an assemblage of alien sections, devoid of any common core. Is Amir Peretz's Social Democracy or Meretz's Liberal Concept? Is he Yair Lapid-based neoliberalism or Ayman Odeh's nationalist-Arab communism? With regard to the Islamic Movement and the Balad, one can only marvel at the left's conceptual flexibility and inability to form an independent identity. In     

the political arena, the backbone of Israeli-middle-class politics in cities, towns and settlements has repeatedly rejected the option of adopting the left. This group, which is gradually taking an active responsibility in the conduct of state affairs, has absorbed the lies and truths of those who seek to harm them when they come up with a clean, idealistic self-image, and in fact seek to bring us back to the pre-197 days. And reject it and all the idle exercises They seek to do to disintegrate us and establish a divide and rule within the Likud and the rightist camp. 

A whole list of individuals wanted to smash the right-wing camp and failed - Shelly, and Tzipi Livni, Isaac Herzog and Yair Lapid, Avi Gabbay and Benny Gantz - each of them and the fiasco of his. Never were impressed Each and every one of us understood that the "White Tribe" wanted to restore its old age and harm any middle-class achievement. Look at them these days, as they oppose, deliberate and explain to anyone who wants to hear them, because they don't Want sovereignty over the valley and other parts of Judea and Samaria populated by Jewish settlement. 

They once set up development towns and settlements, outposts, kibbutzim and moshavim without floundering and without asking permission. Today they express slackness and loss of way. For them, less is more. Israel's convergence and shrinkage is their ideal. The descending leftists will continue on their way to the islands because they will leave the country and leave us alone. They are educated and we are ignorant. They are talented and we are gifted. For decades they have been repeating their threats, and we have stopped worrying about them for a long time. 

See you in Jerusalem, opposite the court, with Israeli flags. Each one to bring one flag to himself. There is no need to go through the lobby of Ehud Barak's luxury tower to receive a flag of any kind.
