Herzog from First Israel, Peretz from Second Israel.

She must be elected

Herzog, a nobleman from the first Israel, is one of the most close figures in the Israeli public.

But this woman deserves to be president not because of her moderate and charming Eastern gospel, but because of her determined and Israeli Zionist gospel

A life journey full of Zionism.

Hear no more a story of "Israel first" versus "second Israel" than the campaign for the presidency: Herzog front Miriam Peretz.

Battle stereotypically like to order: on the left side of the arena Isaac Herzog, Israeli aristocrat. He's grandson The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Halevi Herzog, the son of President Haim Herzog and Ora Herzog, founder of the Council for a Beautiful Israel, an associate lawyer in a prestigious law firm , The case was closed due to lack of evidence and the political system embraced him until he was elected leader of the Labor Party and a candidate for prime minister.

On the right side of the arena is Miriam Peretz, the poor girl who immigrated from Morocco to a ten-year-old transit camp.

The parents Ito and Yaakov Ohayon, actually "did not work for the king" as she says with a smile, but what was once called in derogatory language "emissaries" from the Atlas Mountains.

With lots of innocence and faith and love for the people of Israel.

And she is a girl who builds herself out of nothing.

Winner of honors at the school, holds a degree in literature and history from Ben-Gurion University, goes with her husband to live in Sharm el-Sheikh when Dayan declares "better Sharm el-Sheikh without peace than peace without Sharm el-Sheikh", evicted from her home after the withdrawal agreement from Sinai.

Peretz is building a glorious educational career as a school principal and supervisor in the Ministry of Education, educating her children to give the state and the people of Israel as much as possible, sending all four of her sons to the Golani Regiment.

Two of them, Lieutenant Uriel Peretz, and Major Eliraz Peretz are not returning.

More on Walla!

Herzog was born to be president.

He is the right man at the right time

To the full article

It is amazing and optimistic to see how respectable this campaign is on both sides.

And if that's not enough, the assessments regarding the winner in this battle are the opposite of public support.

If in the polls of the general public there is an impressive majority of Israeli citizens who want Miriam Peretz as president, the assessments regarding the opinion of Knesset members who will vote and determine are that there is an impressive majority on their part that will support Herzog for president.

And precisely when all this Israeli social tension is in the background, it is amazing and optimistic to see how respectful and dirty this campaign is.

Both on the part of Herzog, one of the most close figures in the Israeli public, and on the part of Peretz.

Choosing it is choosing a new Zionist gospel.

Miriam Peretz once told me the following story with a smile: When we immigrated to Israel, there was a test called a survey, it is a test that sorts the children all over the country - who into a professional class and who into a theoretical class. I failed the test. It's clear why. Because the questions asked by a girl in the aisle are "How long will a pool that is X and width wide will be filled?". Who saw a pool in the aisle. If they asked me about my mother's prina (Moroccan bread) I would say exactly how big it was. "

Then she told the sad story," The teacher called my father to come "and about the unpleasant experience she had there. Finally she said: Non-theoretical, thanks to one teacher ''. I did not understand then how the seemingly annoying story ended in an optimistic tone and learning right, but such is Miriam Peretz and that is her message. This woman deserves to be president not because of her truly moderate and charming Eastern gospel but because of her determined and Israeli Zionist gospel.

How exciting it would be if we heard for a short time the cry "Long live the President of the State of Israel" and we will answer with a smile: "Long live" "Long live" "Long live".
