Protest against Netanyahu

The cycle of contagion: Netanyahu is strengthening the demonstrations against him in his actions

Hours of discussions in the government and the Knesset were devoted to one question: how to limit the protest in Balfour.

The prime minister claims that he is working for public health, but the practice of protest serves him politically and helps incite fire from criticism of the plagues of the plague. And the more he deals with them, the more he fuels them and proves their necessity.

Do you know the apps that measure screen time and mobile usage and especially the hours spent on social networks?

So if there was an app for segmentation and time analysis that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has devoted in the past week to a host of burning issues, it would have identified one winning word: demonstrations.

Millions of citizens are about to enter quarantine, morbidity has reached alarming numbers, hospitals and medical staffs are on the verge of collapse, and hundreds of thousands of unemployed and tens of thousands of businesses are about to be left without a livelihood.

Above all these millions, the 15,000 who demonstrated last weekend in Balfour were the ones who employed Netanyahu this week, to whom he devoted most of his time.

Hours of discussions in the government, in the Knesset plenum, the Constitution Committee and other limited forums behind the scenes dealt with one question: how to limit the protest.

Netanyahu says that the demonstrations strengthen him, and therefore do not really bother him, but everyone who watched him this week will see that the opposite is true: they annoy him, or at least his family, really.

Only there is no contradiction here.

The demonstrations could irritate the residents of the house in Balfour and at the same time serve them as a tool to deal with the growing criticism of the failure to manage the epidemic.

The corona is Netanyahu's biggest enemy to date, but unlike the political and geopolitical opposers he has become accustomed to over the past decade, the health and economic epidemic does not distinguish between right and left, and he cannot defeat it with puns and incitement and incitement.

Therefore, Netanyahu needs another enemy: the protesters in Balfour, the opposition that supports them, Blue and White and the Attorney General who fearfully defend the right to protest - are the daemon with which he crowds the ranks that keep the deep base.

With the help of the choir of Mickey Zohar, Osnat Mark and Shlomo Qara, he was able to brand them as celebrants at a hallucinatory left-wing nature party, and spread dubious theories with half-facts about outbreaks of disease and infection.

With the help of Aryeh Deri, he was able to produce a value parallel between the prayers and demonstrations, even though it has no epidemiological basis, and with the help of Miri Regev to sharpen the division between the advocates of the two values, Jews and Israelis.

Ministers who attended meetings with Netanyahu last week, from the Likud and Blue and White alike, describe his preoccupation with demonstrations as nothing less than an "obsession."

"This farce must stop," the Corona Cabinet meeting announced on Tuesday.

The following night he convened the government for a night meeting where it was decided to ignore the recommendations of the medical authorities and the warnings of the professional economic officials who oppose the imposition of a general closure.

In between, he fought relentlessly against the top blue and white, the father Nissenkorn and Gabi Ashkenazi, who backed the position of the Attorney General that the government can not restrict demonstrations against itself and that this decision should be made by the professionals only in extreme situations and exceptions.

Netanyahu would not close The whole economy, but on the condition that there be no demonstrations Blue and white did not agree to ban demonstrations except in an extreme situation where the whole economy is closed. Out of this political trap the hermetic closure was born: from the moment he discovered the only legal political way to stop the Balfour migrants is by almost complete paralysis of the economy But the farce did not really stop, it just moved from the government to the Knesset.

Reject the recommendations of professional bodies.

On Thursday morning the government approved the hermetic closure, but only 12 hours later the text was passed to the Knesset to amend the Corona Act that would allow it to declare a "special state of emergency" and exclude the demonstrations, and even then, it has not yet concluded the regulations and exceptions.

During the tumultuous and marathon discussion in the Constitution Committee, which lasted all night, the Likud and Blue and White continued behind the scenes in battles and struggles over borders and sects.

In one arena, Finance Minister Israel Katz tried - and succeeded - in reducing the damage to the economy by billions of shekels and expanding the list of industries and businesses excluded.

And in another arena, Nissenkorn and Eitan Ginzburg fought the Likudniks in the Constitution Committee who tried to make some improvements and tighten the restrictions on demonstrations even after leaving the general quarantine.

In the morning, when it became clear that there was no chance that the schedules would be enough for the law to be approved by the time the closure took effect and that the ban on demonstrations would have to wait until next week, Netanyahu began promoting the possibility of bypassing the Knesset and banning demonstrations in emergency regulations, although Blue and White's opposition is known.

Likud's statement accusing the opposition of endangering lives and delaying the law with 4,000 reservations B"aobssih allow the festival demonstrations ", but rather Likud MKs, scraps and Mark, they delayed the hearing in the Constitution in the last hours and prevented the law to pass.

Eventually, After all the political, media and public outcry over the past week, the government failed to close the Balfour protest in a timely manner, but amid all the chaos, Netanyahu manages to divert attention from the rest of the serious and serious corona failures, and divert negative sentiment to closure. The blacks, Nissenkorn and Mandelblit, Lapid and Lieberman, and let's not forget Shasha Bitton. All in one boat. "We shape the public consciousness so that it is clear who creates the anarchy and destroys our ability to get out of this crisis," said one of his associates this week.

Braking battle in the field.

The demonstrations this week also brought to a climax the tensions between the Likud and blue and white, as if there was no shortage of trouble on the government's table. Deputy Prime Minister Bnei Gantz, who was jealous of Netanyahu's detached visit to Washington, announced before his departure that the protest should continue under existing law, but then traveled and was absent at the event, discovering that even in politics, as in the military, things could not be controlled remotely. "Stop the disproportionate discussion of demonstrations immediately!" He said in a conversation he made in Washington with members of the Corona Cabinet from his party. And from there more discussion and more consultation, the discourse on the demonstrations only intensified.

Nissenkorn and Ashkenazi led containment battles on the ground, hours upon hours of loud arguments with Netanyahu, and were eventually forced to agree to change the Corona Law and restrict demonstrations. Ganz's original position became another principled statement that was correct at the time. And at no point did he stop the feverish conversations and inform Netanyahu that they were simply not talking about it anymore. He is dragged into Netanyahu's obsessions and fails to produce a different agenda.

Netanyahu claims that although the demonstrations strengthen him politically, he is working to prevent them for public health reasons. But in his actions he only fuels them and presents their necessity. After the unnecessary performances of the holiday dinner in Balfour and the pink bikini party in blue and white, the protest organizations received a cold wind from the public, and it was better that they did not take place and not just for solidarity and mobilization of support. But this is a reading that can only come from within. Once Netanyahu is the one trying to prevent the demonstrations at all costs, he proves the issue of conflict of interest. Towards the beginning of Shabbat, the organizers announced that this time they would comply with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and the rules of social distance. A convoy of cars will ascend to Balfour tomorrow evening, with thousands of bridges and other intersections organizing a protest a mile from the house, and on balconies across the country a contempt whistle event is being organized from balconies, which can be as powerful as thousands of protesters on the ground. It is a political cycle of contagion: when he pursues the demonstrations, he strengthens them, and as they grow - they strengthen him back.
