The end of Israeli Trumpism is here, but the danger has not yet passed

The madness of Netanyahu's partners reached its peak these days, when it became clear that the magician had run out of magic.

Even after he resigns as prime minister, the intentions and possible actions of those who incite against his successors should not be underestimated.

If nothing dramatic happens, the rule of the Likud and the parties close to it will come to an end.

This is a long era in which Netanyahu ruled without straits.

The question is, did he succeed in this because of his so-called extraordinary qualities or because he recognized the most sensitive point of predation in Israeli society: hatred and partisanship?

The answer to the question is yes.

Netanyahu's era can be likened to the short (and good of it!) Era of one of the people who built his career out of hatred, and became President of the United States: Trump. Trump's

four years were the most horrible years for American society. Racism, bigotry and arrogance, and so he did until he left the White House. His tenure, behaved in the same way.

Their way is hatred, exclusion, racism, bullying and arrogance.

Netanyahu's electoral base (30 seats in the last election) is driven by a burning hatred for the establishment of the 1950s, for public institutions that were built with great effort over many years, from the institutions of the rule of law to the Knesset itself.

Yes Yes.

Speaker of the Knesset calling for non-compliance with Supreme Court decisions hurts not only the Supreme Court but the Knesset itself.

Ministers who competed with each other over who is more anti-establishment acted in a distinctly Trumpist way. Just as Trump wanted to destroy the entire old democratic structure, And his friends, including the ultra-Orthodox and settler representatives, Bennett and Shaked, and other MKs or ministers coming from the settler sector do not look at government institutions differently, and do not dream dreams other than those of Smutrich or Ben-Gvir.

The whole difference is the political timing.

All in all, during the many years that Netanyahu has served as prime minister, most of the settlers' political and spiritual leadership supported him and was a defender for him.

Netanyahu sowed the seeds of "disaster" when he transferred his support from Bennett and Shaked to Smutrich and Ben Gvir.

The last two had no chance of passing the blocking percentage without Netanyahu's forceful intervention.

Smutrich and Ben Gvir are as loyal to Netanyahu as the most extremist evangelicals were to Trump's loyalists.

When a MK says "I compare them because they are like terrorists who no longer believe in anything," warning lights should be turned on.

The madness of Netanyahu's partners reached its peak these days, when it became clear that the magician had run out of magic. The mobilization of Netanyahu's companies to thwart the change of government went into action. The tongue twisters were completely released and the truth came out. Here is a fresh example: A MK in the Israeli parliament who considers herself a kosher Jew, and the flesh and blood of the Likud party, said the following a few days ago: "What is most dangerous in public leaders are people who have nowhere to go. Naftali Bennett and Gideon Saar have nowhere to go. Unlike a thousand thousand differences, I compare them to suicide bombers. I'm not exaggerating ... I compare them because they are like terrorists who no longer believe in anything, go on a suicide mission even if they know they have a death sentence. It does not interest them because they are Shiites. They decided they would die with the Philistines, they did not care what would happen in the end. They want to commit suicide. That is what Bennett and Saar do and these are the people we put at the head of the state. "

I'm not a fan of Bennett and Saar, to say the least, but is there a sane person who can make such statements about two Jewish-Israeli leaders who still have a significant record, as opposed to the same MK whose record is zero? By the way, if these, in her opinion, The two leaders are like terrorists, what should be done to stop them from doing damage to the country? The MK did not elaborate.

The ultra-Orthodox also did not spare terrible words in response to the loss of the partnership with Netanyahu in power. Litzman's call to Bennett to lower the dome is a record. Rabbi Gafni's words to the government that is about to arise indicate the loss of every value, every principle, at the same time as the ultra-Orthodox believe that they hold the ultimate moral truth - how exactly?

Israeli Trumpism will disappear as its counterpart in the United States has disappeared. Commissioner of Police. These are the consequences of Israeli Trumpism and we will have to overcome them. The guardian of Israel is neither asleep nor asleep.
