"Let the IDF beat Hamas," scribbled some years ago. Perhaps it is a matter of time before desperate citizens print shirts with a plea: Let the officials beat the Corona. These two civil lawsuits are in fact suckling from the same root.

When European peacekeepers thought peace over them, Hobbes, Locke and all the honorable gentlemen asked themselves what a state actually is, they formulated - each of them at the time - their part in the social convention. The charter says there is an agreement between the citizens and the leaders to make this business of citizenship pay off: after all, we were born free but confined ourselves to people telling us what to do, that is, we were born human beings and chose to be citizens. That's why we actually tell our superiors: Take survivors, payrolls, sometimes limit our liberty, and at this wage you will worry about fighting enemies that we cannot repatriate when we are alone but only when we are part of a state, .

In recent years, it is precisely on the most critical issues that leadership has been trying to convince us that we should raise our hands. Not from today does the ruling elite transmit to us because it is not that they do not fulfill their duty, but that there is no solution. No way out. Once the left liked to say there was no alternative, it seems that in recent years the right has also been infected. For one thing, Netanyahu was right when he publicly reprimanded the plague's renewed aggression: The crowd did press the leadership to allow the closure on the eve of its previous opening. Then, when PM wished we had fun in the pubs, we were happy. 

It reminded me of the peace treaties to which Israel marched in Panan after the flood. And the ceasefires too. We knew it wouldn't be forever, but we got used to living round to round. We no longer strive to win the terrorists. At one time we thought they would be tired of fighting us and it would end on its own, then we tried lax solutions that of course failed and then - we stopped believing that terror could be subdued. 

It seems that with the epidemic before us the situation is starting to be similar: first we thought it would cease on its own, then we were ill-treated, and now we may give in - because of the same nefarious and illogical policy - to the thought that there is no right way to deal with it. We are on the verge of giving in to the Corona terror. We will soon begin to explain to ourselves that in the world, this is another expression of the virus, but here, with the Israeli climate, the bacteria attack fiercely and there is nothing to do. Of fate. There will soon be the coronation bereaved family and a day of remembrance for the coronation victims and those who have died the most members of the corona family will light a beacon. There will be Social Security benefits for these families that will turn into national heroes and also a rebate in property taxes. This is how the state will clear its conscience. 

True, those killed in wars will still receive a higher allowance but in relation to the victims of road accidents that the entire Corona will be prioritized. It won't be long before Bennett is considered a messenger not because he says Hamas can be dealt with but because he believes he has the right tools to handle Corona. Fantasy. 

If political thinkers turned around this week, they would propose that we suspend the alliance we made with the objects of our vote, just as the residents of Sderot did several years ago when the High Court filed a motion against the state not fulfilling its duty of defense against the enemy missiles. In the unwritten agreement with you, "was Jean Jacques Russo, towering over us," the leaders do not best utilize their governing capabilities to protect against the virus, strangely they seek to limit your freedom and demand your share of the contract. "But only in the history of political thought intervene. In the Knesset, in reality, Jerusalem is headquartered and the sky is closed.
