The Likud is the largest and most significant party in Israel. The changes brought about by Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir and their comrades in the early 1970s, when they operated as an opposition party, led this movement to a central and leading focus that affects every area of our lives. This strengthening rests on the fact that the Likud is a united social party. For decades, the Likud has managed to moderate the social divisions that could have created those "tribes" detached from the rotten vision of Reuven Rivlin, whose tribal speech determined the fate of our society as divided and privatized, with a dim national axis where Zionism dissipates and is replaced by a state of all its citizens. Jewish girl. The Likud, on the other hand, sought and created broad national unity. In this context, the most important work of the Likud is the establishment and establishment of the Eastern middle class.
For some 40 years, the Likud Party has successfully worked to create a new class group, which did not exist before, which has become one of the important foundations of social solidarity in the existence of our society. It is not for nothing that Reuven Rivlin ignored this group in his vision of tribes. In this way, the Likud Party prevented Israel from disintegrating into the vision of the detached tribes. However, the forces that had hitherto enjoyed a built-in class advantage have never come to terms with this situation in which the Likud establishes a stable and lasting grip on most of the major cities and the periphery and becomes a dominant force. This presented them with a mirror image of their resounding failure to produce social unity. They saw the new forces in the Likud as an ideological danger, and no less importantly, an occupational danger in reducing their access to resources that they had previously undoubtedly owned. The capital resources and employment they received thanks to fathers, became centers of competition. The Likud spoiled the celebration for them.
The Likud's organizing element focuses on striving for a competitive partnership and opposition to holding a lordly competition that serves the privileged. Hence their goal is to dismantle the Likud and anchor a lordly competition, in which they will once again decide who is worthy of progress and who will be blocked through it.
The higher education system of the early 1970s, before the Likud came to power, served only one sector of the population: the Ashkenazi middle class. Anyone who has looked at this system has seen oppression and exclusion of half the people with a wave of the hand. The evil and heartless paving of the labor movement. Today you will see this system - the accessibility, even if it is complicated and problematic and with moving traps that preserve the power of the privileged, it is completely different. The Likud has succeeded in leading reforms, at the end of which we find intensified access to the establishment of a large and stable Mizrahi middle class that does not need to apply, but accepts its rights on the basis of a competitive partnership. What were once jobs intended for only one group, became during the Likud period jobs in which there is equal competition. Anyone who thinks that the elements of inequality have disappeared is lying to himself, but the competitive element is becoming stronger and becoming a principle of new unity.
The deterrent response of the privileged has become more protestive and violent.
They see this competition as a danger to their status.
For them, the Likud is a dismantling of their outposts.
Tenders for jobs in municipalities, the education system, corporations and government ministries, which were once their undisputed ones, have become sites where there is fairer competition than there was before.
Their status is eroding.
Privileged people are faced with the question: What should they do when there is a moderation of social gaps in Israel in light of the Likud's success?
Should we embrace the Eastern middle class, or should we go out to an aggressive and anti-democratic protest and try to restore the "crown to its former glory"?
The Likud movement is at the heart of the profound change that is taking place in Israel, and this is what the frustration of those with privilege rights is about.
One result is that many good people interpret this change as a reduction to a zero-sum struggle between Mizrahis and Ashkenazis.
There is no greater nonsense than that.
The struggle led by the Likud is for national unity and against tribal disintegration.
