In Italy, in Europe, in the United States, Israel is talked about as a huge success in treating the corona plague. In Israel, too, it was one of Netanyahu's rivals who in November and December last year defined the plague and vaccines as a matter of life and death. Instead of acting vigorously and feeling that we did it, it seems that a man's hand in his brother.
A year and a few months of epidemic pose several laboratories facing each other. There is the Swedish model, but this time not the myth of socialism and the welfare state. The most prominent process of Americanization is the European Union with the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Lane, who previously served as Germany's Minister of Defense, and there is the State of Israel. There is no point in discussing many large, advanced countries, where catastrophe is taking place these days.
In Sweden, Germany and Israel there is supposed to be some DNA of the social democratic infrastructure. It turns out that in the two northern countries there is almost no trace left of the influence of the old social democratic infrastructures. What characterizes Swedish treatment of the epidemic is carelessness, negligence, and disconnect between government and leader. What is happening on the ground? There are world-renowned experts who are supposed to deal with it. The result - a sweeping failure that largely stems from a too slow response, when it was clear that the previous policy was not working.
In Israel and Sweden, social democratic hegemony began in the early 1930s. At the same time, the Histadrut, the health insurance fund, community health care. In Sweden, this hegemony was first broken in 1976. In our country, the Mapai-Labor-Array lost it in 1977.
But something about the connection between the health system and the people, to the Israeli public, remains and perhaps even strengthened compared to the Histadrut years.
It turns out that the organizational memory of local socialism, welfare and health systems, remains valid.
In Sweden, according to the results, there are no signs of this.
In addition, Israel presents a comparison between a government, politicians, and a government of experts and professionals who are leading the fight against the epidemic in the European Union.
Politicians, even in the cumbersome bipartisan government, are knocking out von der Lane's expert rule.
She lost control and took steps bordering on robbery.
She instructed to take control of vaccine depots designed for different countries.
It has been shown that when the ranks below the vertices have no freedom for their own initiatives, bureaucracy and centralization are a catastrophic failure.
Yes, these are questions of life and death.
And when it is said that politicians defeat officials and professionals, it is because they are connected to what is happening and have a very strong motive to succeed and bring healing to the public.
On issues of society and state, questions of life and death, being a life-saving prime minister is moral and ethical.
To entrust a leader who at the beginning of the struggle transmits to the nation that democracy has been eliminated in Israel today, and when a way has been found through vaccines to overcome the epidemic, he presents the prime minister as a liar and deceiver - it is immoral.
Facing crucial political and security, economic and health problems, leadership is needed that has a proven track record of success.
This did not prevent President Rivlin from transmitting to the nation that he was forced, against his will, to impose the government train on Netanyahu, while Lapid called it a "disgrace."
While Rivlin complained of pain and tingling in democracy and Judaism, and moaned like the Queen of England after the Megan and Harry attack, Dr. Sharon Alrei-Price radiated optimism, confidence and even restrained joy: "The plague is fading," she said on Tuesday. Israel, of which we can all be proud. "
The only explanation for the phenomenon of blindness to Israel's real situation under Netanyahu's leadership is the prison of consciousness of those who are locked in the opaque resonant box of the Israeli media. Those who follow Netanyahu's long political campaign objectively see a deputy prime minister On a historical level.
Criminal is the best, man,
are Netanyahu's trials also tainted by external provocations?
When one recalls the exploits of the Harpaz report, one cannot think otherwise the
election results are the best proof of the distrust that large sections of the public have in the legal system that produced the indictments against Netanyahu. What suspects the system of attempting a legal coup is the initial invention of an offense Shai Nitzan attacked the prime minister for his statement on the issue, but in retrospect, Netanyahu and his wife have been persecuted by law enforcement agencies since 1996, for all the nonsense, for transportation and gifts, for the appointment of a legal adviser to a man who later became finance minister. Ice cream. For garden furniture and bringing an electrician and catering and laundry bags. In parallel with the trial, Netanyahu was persecuted by High Court hearings on his kosherness and the need for his imprisonment.
There are past affair, over the years of the state, which have begun as a result of increasing provocations.
Given that there are powerful forces in the world that have long wanted to remove the obstacle called Netanyahu, it is likely that the cases in which he is now accused are a co-production of internal and external forces.
Of course, those concerned will deny.
Only in the US and England and Germany and Ukraine does anyone intervene from the outside and produce currents of consciousness and misinformation. But in Israel it is not possible for forces to be activated not necessarily by the Russians, causing provocations to activate the Attorney General and the forces under him. The
two big provocations are cigars and tapes. He did not learn from the bitter experience of previous legal advisers, which caused Israel today to be divided politically and socially, and perhaps even security-wise, because of acts that should not have gone to court. Ilan Yeshua himself said that when things went awry, he did not think there was anything criminal here. In the
face of the challenges facing Israel, it is immoral and unworthy to disqualify Netanyahu on the basis of the petty offenses attributed to him. In the face of the Iranian nuclear issue, in the face of Iran's proliferation in the region, continued treatment of the epidemic Lower than 20.
And the interesting thing is, we already had a similar affair and the case was closed. It was a much more serious affair, because the one who was suspected was the chief of staff, and not a political man who wanted to balance the media supremacy against him and his wife.
Chief of Staff Ashkenazi, according to the attorney general's report that closed the case, has collected a lot of material, intended for marketing among close journalists to hurt the political echelon.
It was an information fighter operation for everything, more serious and deeper than the requests and pressures exerted by the Prime Minister's Office at Walla.
The chief of staff linked some of the senior journalists to his camp by providing ultra-secret information, whose secret partners were few and far between. The attorney general was then the military attorney general, and fiercely defended the chief of staff and his actions.
The affair was closed, for public reasons only.
Even today, it is difficult to understand why the ombudsman, who maneuvered in favor of the chief of staff in the same case, insisted in the case of the prime minister to make the issue criminal.
Pazam's question
Will the "action government" that Netanyahu is planning survive four years? He is apparently much less open to it than
Netanyahu feels he has a reasonable option to form a government. The scenario discussed by the Likud is about presenting a government towards the end of the mandate. For those who will support the government that will be presented, it is estimated that the additional votes will be found to express confidence in the government, and perhaps this will still be a "new hope" faction.
This does not remove the question of Bennett's incessant activism in all directions. He intends to initiate a government. and reconciliation, have been infuriating terrible, as expressed in the conflict between Bezalel Smotrich. it would be a provocation, and not exercising will of the voters. it seems doers is an answer to that moment when it became clear that Gideon Sa'ar stronger bargaining position his own.
by Likud certain cards that are supposed to attract Bennett and assault coalition natural right. talking about the priesthood last of Netanyahu as prime minister. here lay the mine Netanyahu let himself that he maneuvered the Benny Gantz dissolution of the partnership. on the one hand, he saved the country a prime minister does not fit. on the other hand, was created around the problem of trust is difficult.
the solution Contains a point amendment in the Basic Law: e
government.
It is supposed to secure the agreement between the parties.
It will give Netanyahu enough time to establish policies with Iran and the Biden administration, as well as to establish the Abrahamic agreements that Bennett at the time dismissed with contempt.
Compared to the multi-legged horse-camel government planned by the "Change Bloc", this is a much better option.
After all, the alternative is merely a transition period whose main purpose is to oust Netanyahu.
It will be possible to invest that time in real action, in an "action government".
The best is a four-year government.
But Bennett and Saar can demand a shortening of the PZM towards fulfilling their ambitions. Netanyahu, apparently, is open to that.
The price of the lack of revenge The
death of one of the last survivors of Auschwitz raised thoughts about what continues to haunt the Jews
on Holocaust Day I thought of a certain woman who died a few weeks ago, at an extreme age.
One of the thoughts that came to mind was that she was one of the last survivors of Auschwitz.
I felt sympathy;
Maybe for the first time I could think that maybe I understand some of the feelings she once expressed in a diary passage she published.
I could think over the years that I understand the historical context and shock that the great generalizations cause.
But I do not remember ever really feeling a sense of closeness to the experience of a single survivor.
The source of the feelings, I think, lies in the knowledge that she had the option of not coming to Auschwitz and all that year of torture and slavery in the camps in Germany.
Voluntarily, she returned to her hometown in Hungary, to her parents, following the German occupation.
And when she arrived at the camp, the question arose that people like us would ask: How did I get here at all?
what am I doing here?
She was young, strong and beautiful.
The moment of liberation came abruptly, during the last death march.
Suddenly a column of American jeeps appeared, and the German guards immediately raised their hands.
The prisoners immediately became free.
When she returned, realizing that she had no more family, she decided to join a group that would carry out retaliatory actions.
And especially in German women.
These women approached them in the various camps.
But she met a member of the movement from before the war, and he instilled in her the desire to act and build, and to immigrate to Eretz Israel.
When it came to the realization of socialism, she discovered the rift.
She has no one to share memories with from the near past of the Holocaust, nor from the distant past of before the Holocaust.
Three things can be noted that continue to persecute the Jews, especially in the State of Israel, in the continuity of the Holocaust.
One notable event, out of many like it, is the Kasztner affair.
The initial reaction of the people of the land is that the man is a disgrace typical of the leaders of the Diaspora.
In retrospect, this is an affair that has created rifts and conflicts within us to this day, in fact.
In the international aspect of Israel's struggle to delegitimize, radical left - wing propaganda has created the false negative myth that the Zionists associated with the Nazis in order to destroy Diaspora Jewry.
So the Kasztner affair is also a misinformation operation.
The second aspect is that the neo-Nazi far right, like the Takuara movement in Argentina, translated its anti-Semitism into anti-Israel, and its leaders in South America became the leaders of a new left-wing terrorist.
From there the disease moved to the US.
The third issue is revenge which was not. There is a good Zionist reason for this. But perhaps the lack of revenge on the Germans is charging us prices to this day, the kind that are hard to pin down.
