"Ruler status" is a familiar and common concept in Western countries, but in Israel it is said in the dark, and describes a carpet of consciousness, wall to wall

Earlier this week, Yoel Estron called on Twitter what Avishai Ben-Haim was saying and writing, "Avishai Ben-Haim's racist rubbish." These things cause him "shock and disgust", "the man is sick and sickening ... do not help spread his poison". Defense Minister Bnei Gantz responded to Health Minister Yuli Edelstein's attack on the delay in vaccinations, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of endangering human life out of self-interest. He is the prime minister's "partner in crime". MK Gideon Saar states that he will not sit in the government under Netanyahu and no one demands that he explain such a step.



It is an atmosphere of psychosis. Only in such a climate, political measures that contradict all common sense and public morality can be accepted as natural. This atmosphere was created by the media. The horror shows in the studios are a reflection of what is happening in the political corridors: a group of commentators, polytrucks, four, maybe five, sits and scolds in a hoarse voice one guest commentator who thinks otherwise.All five think the same - left! left! Against Bibi!



This is how terrorism is created among the Polytrucks, and they are in competition with each other. In order to survive in studios, which have become psychic-style torture cells, you must scream louder than your own partners. As in the days of Stalinist terror, if you do not achieve the quota of confessions, you will soon join the line of defendants.



The cruel and verbal attack, like that of Esteron, is Only the reverberation of previous attacks by Baruch called for example. And after Estron - how is it possible without him - Ben Caspit: "What you are doing is a historical crime!" Again "crime". What is happening here? The first "and" the second Israel "? What is annoying? The phrase" white Israel "? Ben-Haim's Torah can also be criticized; no one claims that it is the doctrine of the secret police, of which the tweeters and interviewers and their assistants are members. But from here to the attack is full of venom and violence multi. 



By and large, Avishai Ben-Haim is right: the coalition that is trying to form unnaturally between the seemingly "right-wing" factions and the hard left and the Arabs is on a socio-economic basis. But the main explanation is that accepted in the US and Britain - the organization of the ruling class to impose its rule without Egypt on the state. In the 



past, Israel probably did not use the term "ruling class"; but in developed Western countries it is a common concept. And the talk of the Deep State and the State of Clerks, etc., as R. Shulam Stisel says, add to this the European-funded NGO network and other bodies affiliated with the US administration and the Democratic Party, as well as the security, academic, and media establishment and the high-tech industry. Tech of all kinds - and you get a floor-to-wall carpet. 



The reporters connected to the State Attorney's Office and the police, the trumpets in the studios, two newspapers are considered whose articles are considered day orders, all of which exist today in Israel as a "ruling class." These are not elites. This class has a dominant ideology, and it is left-wing. It is not even a Zionist left, but a left-left. And as Haim Ramon wrote in his book, the road is stronger than those who walk it. The class is not willing to allow the "despicable", the middle-class people and the small independents, most of whom are Mizrahi, Likud voters, to set foot in power. 



Religious Zionists are experiencing dissonance. Somewhere, in memory, they are still reciting ideological mantras; But in addition to their conditioned sectoral reflex, sociologically they are already integrated into the "ruling class." Apparently it is the same with Smutrich, but there the religious-ideological anchors are stronger.



I have been looking at well-known people for years: Yoaz Handel, Zvika Hauser, prominent right-wing journalists I know well, the successors of the late Bnei Alon. All of these are Netanyahu's opponents, but when did they not oppose him? Handel, who was a prominent and successful leadership figure at the institute For nearly 15 years, he has been looking for connections to Tzipi Livni and later to Boogie Ya'alon, and has always explained and justified his opposition to Netanyahu since he returned to power in 2009. What is interesting to him, and to others, is that no matter what Netanyahu's achievements as prime minister were. He never changed his mind about him. "Statehood" and "gatekeepers" are just other words for political repression.

The myth is shattered, if you asked



the Saidian affair, it also leads us to the fall of Madhat Yosef, and the trauma that an entire generation carries in its



book "As if it were a hidden wound" Dr. Irit Keinan writes that Madhat Yosef's fall is a watershed in breaking the IDF ethos of rescuing , And had an impact on battle shock levels in the wars that followed. It was also the founding military experience of some of the senior commanders who reached the top of the IDF in the following years, and today the top of the state. 



"The then prime minister, Ehud Barak, instructed Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz to refrain from military action to rescue the wounded soldier and to act through Jibril Rajoub, then the head of preventive security at the PA," Keinan writes. "Despite the repeated requests of the paramedic and the compound commanders (Tomb Yosef, October 2000), who saw Yosef bleeding to death, the security leadership adhered to the decision not to forcibly rescue him. Leaving the wounded dead in front of the prime minister and senior IDF commanders (including "Brigadier General Bnei Gantz, commander of the Judea and Samaria Division," aroused astonishment in the IDF and outside it, "mainly because it stems from a conscious decision."



The then chief education officer, Elazar Stern, vehemently rejected the criticism and spoke of "a considered choice between the value of saving one injured person's life and the value of preventing the lives of many rescuers ..." Ignoring the price wish, as well as environmental conditions, is obligatory Misunderstanding of the essence of the command. " Keinan writes that Stern's words, as someone in charge of spreading IDF values, were perceived as a fundamental change, as a "myth shattering" that everyone believed in, but according to him - never existed.



"Soldiers who participated in the Second Lebanon War testify that Madhat Yosef's character returned to consciousness In the face of a postponement of hours in rescuing the wounded, "Keinan writes in her book." 'Wound Rescue' has become a new concept of 'delaying the wounded.' "The new ethos from Bnei Gantz, Barak and Elazar Stern's seminary has become a direct cause of post-trauma and battle shock. Between the abandonment of Madhat Yosef and the affair of Itzik Saidian. 



Even if there is no smoking gun on this issue, Gantz's removal from his post as commander of the forces in Judea and Samaria less than a year after taking office indicates that the prime minister who replaced Barak, Arik Sharon, thought it inappropriate to fight the second intifada. People like Gantz, Stern, Barak and others At heights and arrogance and using extreme expressions, they are figures whose moral backbone was broken in October 2000. All indications are that Gantz was no longer able to command in the Second Lebanon War, and certainly not on a solid cliff. 

Beyond Eastern Eyes



A new document makes it clear that the concept of security cannot be separated from sovereignty, and suggests paying attention to Jordan and 



the Eastern Front is not dead. This is the message of Dr. Dori Gould, who returned from another leap to Abu Dhabi. Instability in the Kingdom of Jordan, with an attempted coup that was or was not, is a reminder of activity taking place east of Jordan. In light of the expected developments in the Middle East and the possibility of the Lapid-Bent-Saar government, Gold and Yossi Kuperwasser refresh and update in a document that they publish the concept of "Border of Defense members."



Yigal Mark Sheinberg, who contributes to Gideon Saar, is also the funder of "Commanders for Israel's Security." These represent a dominant view in the American security establishment of a unilateral withdrawal in the Judea and Samaria territories, relying on "technological means" in all matters related to security needs in the West Bank. 



One of the experts in the American security establishment said: "No one among you said that annexation was needed. All your people said that 'control' and a security presence are enough." "We argue that security needs cannot be separated from sovereignty," said Dr. Gold, head of the Jerusalem Center for Public and State Affairs. "At the recent J-Street conference, Ben Rhodes said that in the past, Israel had to deal with ground forces. Today what threatens her are sporadic terrorist attacks. What he does - he downplays the threat to Israel; And if your tendency is to downplay and underestimate the threats to Israel, you will also think that Israel does not need defensive borders. "



Around the disengagement of 2005, the Americans began to think about Israel's defense needs on the eastern border in terms of technological response; "There are high-tech alternatives to the IDF's security positions in the West Bank," it was claimed. A large part of the security establishment, especially at the top of the IDF, aligned itself with the concept. But even then Major General Shlomo Yanai, head of the Planning Division, wrote in a document referring to the "core security requirements" that "despite the technological advances of modern defense systems, including warfare, control of the dominant ground space still remains an essential part of basic security theory."



Following the collapse of Israeli policy following the Second Lebanon War, Elliott Abrahams, an adviser to President Bush Jr., testified in an article published in the INSS that in preparation for the Annapolis Conference, the idea was born to deploy an American force in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley. Her aides in the State Department draw up plans for the deployment of a U.S. National Guard division in the West Bank, for peacekeeping after the IDF withdraws, "Abrahams wrote." It has begun to adopt the Arabist position that our relations with Arab states require progress on the Israeli-Palestinian front. "



It is believed that the Biden administration radiates great weakness in all international sectors. A senior Israeli diplomat recently said that Biden looks like a hologram. He is the weakness in its incarnation. , The Iranians will pressure to take out what's left of the American force there, And to exclude America from the Middle East in general.



"There is a problem in Jordan. The Iranians want to infiltrate there as well," says Dori Gould. "The Iranians have proposed to Jordan to institutionalize the pilgrimage to Shiite sites for the Shiites in Jordan, and in return we will 'provide' you with all the energy needs for 30 years. This shows that there is a clear Iranian interest in Jordan, and the eastern front exists." With the release of sanctions on Iran, the ayatollahs will have huge money reserves to invest in Hezbollah-like organizations and the Houthis.



The change since the Trump plan is that the concept of defensible borders today explicitly includes the application of sovereignty in those territories, and first of all the Jordan Valley. Yigal Alon proposed to the government as early as 1967, after the Six Day War, to carry out annexation within the boundaries of his plan. The late Nahum Sarig, from Beit Hashita, who was one of the people closest to Yigal Alon, testified that the basic idea of ​​the plan with the Jordan Valley and everything else was presented to him by Alon in the middle of the war. 



Gould and Kuperwasser quote in their document Qassem Suleimani (Allah have mercy), who spoke of the Iranian need to establish a "Shiite foreign legion." Like Hezbollah, the "legion" that might crawl toward the eastern border will be equipped with the best Russian weapons. Apart from anti-tank missiles, cruise missiles and gliders, they are also equipped with T-90 tanks. The question facing the right-wing government, if it is assisted, is whether to embark on a rapid move to enforce sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and Gush Etzion without Trump and his plan. Both.
