The situation of the Israeli right has never been better - on paper.

There has never been a greater danger of losing the right-wing government, as in the fourth election campaign imposed on us.

The Likud and Netanyahu are not challenged on the starting line, not the bankrupt Oslo school, nor the supporters of the disengagement, nor the demanders of the convergence.

The political debate is over.

The public, and it's just amazing to see it in the polls, is on the right.

The political left has vanished.

This is why there has never been such a great and tangible hope for a real possibility for a profound change of government, for the long-awaited restraint of legal and bureaucratic tyranny in Israel.

The Israeli bureaucracy has never found itself in a similar state of helplessness in the face of the will of the masses wanting, believing and demanding change.

The clerk raises her eyes in hope to the left, in vain.

The Israeli left has disintegrated from its ideological path, the ignorant generals who can be pulled out and sold are running out, and the limited power of the beauty of the crystal has never been so exposed.

But the left-wing head invents patents for itself.

In the absence of a general and in the absence of an ideology, there is always a simple, low, but effective common denominator: venting frustration and the cult of hatred.

In recent years, the fantasy of a state of all its citizens and the dream of a Palestinian state have been replaced by an old-new ideology: just not Netanyahu.

It has always been there, below or above the surface, but never as a clear cause of existence and as a declaration of political identity.

"Just not Bibi" in the vernacular.

It's catchy.

Right-wing knights like Ya'alon and Lieberman were recruited for this ideology, who usually lost interest in the vision of governance and legal reforms;

Slowly, they are also getting used and accustomed to the idea of ​​forming a government with the support of the deniers of Zionism and the supporters of terrorism.

Ya'alon even voted against regulating the young settlement in Judea and Samaria. 

The policy of personal disqualification

The winds of just-not-bibi have thus managed to wash away quite a few right-wing knights - enough to stop a right-wing government, but not enough to get the Likud out of the game and fulfill the left's big dream: "the end of the Netanyahu era."

But this corrosion knows where to spread, and it eats away at growing sections of the right - including figures whose face advocates settlement, and especially leading governmental and legal reforms.

Most of the people support the right, believing in the urgent need to lead changes and corrections before the bureaucratic authority.

The right enjoys priority in every poll.

On paper, we live the dream.

A dream of fixing Israel's character as a Jewish and democratic state, restraining the justice system, separating the authorities.

But this dream may very soon turn into a nightmare like we did not know, in the name of "just-no-bibi."

The left has lost the battle for public opinion, but it will win the war on shaping politics.

Its central ethos, the one around which the entire system revolves, has taken a strategic stance.

He is on his way to an electoral-party loss, but to a substantial victory.

Saar: "I will establish a party and I will face Netanyahu" // From Facebook

Will the policy of personal disqualification led by Gideon Saar on the way to collect the votes of the disappointed of the left be the nightmare of the right?

time will tell.

The line between dream and nightmare has never been so thin.
