• Interpretation

The streets and roads are almost deserted.

An atmosphere that is more reminiscent of Yom Kippur than Rosh Hashanah.

The bush also mentions that the world is upside down.

But this means that in general the closure is maintained.

A few dozen protesters who defy the people of Israel more than against the government on Frishman Beach only emphasize that this is a marginal story.

Their friends who had a holiday meal in Shanty Town that hurts one of the most beautiful areas of Jerusalem, near Balfour Street, received angry reactions.

They, together with the demonstrators in the middle of the holiday in front of the Attorney General's House in Petah Tikva.

This is the most characteristic thing of a "protest" against the prime minister: the violation of all conventions and all that is sacred to the Israeli public.

But there should be no illusion.

This is essentially a "Balfour Protest."

This is not a message of protest but a message of violation of the existing order, with the goal of overthrowing the government by force.

This is the democracy for which the judicial system and the police are commissioned to build the outline of the quarantine violations in the license.

But it may be that the message of the quarantine still permeates.

"It's a dangerous virus. Stay in the houses."

It's so simple, said Meir Rubin, general manager of the Ecclesiastical Forum and coordinator of the Civil Corona Cabinet, in a radio interview. That son's son suddenly went into isolation and so did that one's daughter. And more children and teenagers.

Suddenly a recognizable pattern emerges: when one insists on opening the education system for a few weeks with the end of the first closure, the outburst begins.

When they insist on returning to school quickly on September 1 - boom.

There is a frightening leap forward in adhesions.

And it is no longer possible to say, these are the Arabs, these are the ultra-Orthodox.

The German Colony and Katamon in Jerusalem suddenly become red neighborhoods. 

Add to that the statistic that sets Israel apart from other Western societies: in all countries - Germany, Italy, France, Scandinavia - there are simply far fewer children.

Zero birth rate, not to mention zero.

We have a high birth rate and the social patterns of gatherings for all the reasons in the world make intergenerational infection a burning top.

What is important is that even if all of Israel is wise and prudent - and Moshe Rabbeinu thought differently: "with a villain and not wise" - the only thing that can be adhered to are the rules of good citizenship and solidarity.

It is probably impossible to "beat" an epidemic;

But one can learn to live with it and create a gradual increase in infections so that we do not reach out with the tongue the day the vaccine appears.

In one of the articles published in the United States and dealing with Israel, the basic values ​​of Israeli society were laid out: solidarity, equality, mutual aid.

is that so?

Do these values ​​outweigh the top value of "do not go out sucker" this time?
