Many good ones are left to wonder: How does a leading share of retired security officials place themselves on the political left, and sometimes even on the radical left? Toby our fellow, the elite Idit who devoted most of their years to the state defense mission and acted in the political echelons, now stands as the forefront of the various "anti" movements.

This quality group, which carries the Progressive Left's virtual flag and the "political correctness" culture, to which the Black Flag has recently been added, as a hallmark of protest and "out on the streets," is trying to take control of the public agenda by glorifying the "we", the enlightened, the fresh as snow , Humans, as opposed to the "them", the ignorant, the "herd", "people whose normative threshold is grassy," according to former head of the Shavit comet. This mood, which the innocent son seemed to have passed from the world, is sometimes echoed by media figures and even directed at Likud ministers and senior politicians. 

English thinker John Locke, who is considered the father of liberalism, has instilled in the world the principles of enlightenment, which guide man to favor the idea of ​​natural rights to life, liberty and property. In its modern form, liberalism aims at the connection between the citizen and the government, with an emphasis on freedom of movement, freedom of speech and the like. Is this the source of the conceptual authority that guides the activities of the leaders of glory? It is doubtful that this is so, even though it seems that a universal progressive worldview is portrayed as a cohesive glue, sufficient to stabilize a line that contradicts Netanyahu's right-wing ideology. 

The "anti" Enlightenment will mark Netanyahu as a multi-armed demon, who must fight against it by all legitimate means, even if the legitimacy stretches beyond the "gray realm", which is tangent to anarchism. From their point of view, as a second thread, a line that connects suspicions of corruption, a pig economy with the continuation of the "occupation", and of course the "annexation" program in Judea and Samaria goes through. Therefore, removing him from Balfour will break the dividing dam between all the evil on earth and another era, the realization of utopia, the longing of the longed soul.

It would be naive to attribute to the "Guild of the Shepherds" striving for "cleaning stables" for its own sake, in the aspect of integrity and the eradication of corruption, since it is clear that they are directed higher; Kerry: To cause a phase change in the political dimension, and more explicitly, to implicate the left's ideology, in the trend of separating Palestinians from the two-state solution in June 1967. This lofty goal is fueled by cheers from the side of liberal governmental officials. This approach may be characterized as a recent edition of Post-Zionism, one that gives way to universal values ​​over historical justice and national affinity for Israel. 

The path to the desired destination is paved in a planned way by embedding blatant and resonant messages in the media spectrum, taking advantage of the empathic approach of the leading media channels, which also reflect an almost inherent coverage bias. The method used in this context adopts Winston Churchill's assertion: "There is no rock in the rock by virtue of its intensity but by its persistence" (although the source of inspiration for this image is taken from Job Number - "Stones have watered").

Consciousness engineering is a laundered expression of a method of action from the world of military concepts, known as psychological warfare. It is reasonable to assume that in this dimension the "transgressions" have a substantial advantage, and their ability to utilize this operative tool as an elaborate means of serving their purposes constitutes a kind of multiplier for them. 

Given the solid majority that the political right enjoys among the Jewish population, and the trends pointing to the intensification of support for Prime Minister Netanyahu, the noisy campaigns of the enlightened "shabashes" leave their mark mostly on the persuaded anyway. This is to them cynical and a source of ongoing frustration, in a way that could translate into intensifying protest characteristics, to the point of designing "intellectual justification" for violating the rules of the democratic game.
