"I was scared. The first time I was scared at an IDF space funeral. First time I understood what fascism smells like. That I realized that if nothing happened here, if we did not stop this evil spirit, we would just fall apart. I left this funeral feeling we were falling apart. Israeli society simply disintegrates live. "
The man who told me these things this week called me on his own initiative. He must, he told me, share the experience with someone else. He is not a politician, but he is a clear right-wing man, close to the Likud. In his life, he saw up close the toxic, violent atmosphere during the Elor Azaria affair. Still, Sergeant Barel Hadaria Shmueli's funeral frightened him more than he has seen to this day. He returned from it shocked to the depths of his soul.
Bereaved families in Israel are a sacred value.
Bereaved parents are entitled to say, even shout, what they want about who they want.
They earned this right in blood and in law.
They paid the maximum price.
We need to bow our heads and move on, even if we do not agree or dislike it.
We are allowed to criticize this, but the right of bereaved parents not to demand the blood of their son from whoever they want, how they want, when they want.

The story with the funeral of Israeli hero Barel Shmueli is not necessarily the parents. Yes, the mother has denounced them all over the past week. According to Prime Minister Bennett, the blood of Barel is smeared by him, through the commander-in-chief of the Southern Command, Eliezer Toledano, Brigadier General Yoav Brunner, Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, the Border Police commander and all the other commanders on the ground. The same fringe and bibists who were recruited to dance on the blood, to pump out the rage and turn it into a political lever, to tear the IDF apart from within, to mark the officers as the ones who threw the fighters to the dogs and let them be killed. The officers, who give many years of their lives on that damn fence so that the inhabitants of the envelope can sleep peacefully. The officers, standing there, with the soldiers, on the front line, in the fire.
The one who gave the signal, pretend to be surprised, is the defendant.
From his vacation spot on the island that belongs to the ultra-billionaire who also serves as a prosecution witness in his trial, Benjamin Netanyahu hurried to perform the first dance on Barel's blood, taking advantage of Prime Minister Bennett's mistake in the fallen's first name to tweet "shame" and give the signal to many The inhibitions.
Then he deleted, the title, but it no longer matters much.
Incitement performance
Let's go back to the funeral. The funeral they came to, like birds of prey smelling prey, the worst of babysitters. One of them shouted in the middle of the barrage of honor, "Too bad they didn't put one in Bennett." A second instructed the audience "Shout now 'Bennett is a traitor!'". Others stirred up the atmosphere, pounced on Ministers Matan Kahana and Omar Barlev and turned the event into a political demonstration. At a later Bibist demonstration in Tel Aviv, posters were carried out stating that "Bennett murdered Barel." Here is a summary of the testimony of my interlocutor, the man who stood there, at the funeral of Sgt. Shmueli, as close as possible.
"At first I thought it would be a quiet funeral. There was a real, heavy sadness hovering there, "he told me," but then one of the commanders was supposed to speak and Barel's mother snatched the microphone and said she was talking now. A murmur began in the audience. She cried out. She accused Bennett, whose son blood was smeared on his hands, and shouted, "You are sitting with Hamas, Hamas within the government, Hamas who murdered my son."
At this point, according to the eyewitness, whispers began in the audience.
"Her words had a magical effect on the people. There were groups of bibists, and groups in the style of La Familia, alongside hundreds and thousands of sad escorts, friends of Barel, friends of the family, people who came to accompany a hero soldier on his final journey and not participate in a political show of hatred. And incitement. "
"Only in a long time will it be possible to understand the magnitude of the damage he has done here."

What happened next, I asked. "Later the curses started. I saw Itzik Zarka walking around there, Orly Lev, there were several groups of such. I do not know who told Barel's mother that Bennett was sitting with Hamas, but that's what she shouted there. And when Commissioner Kobi Shabtai came up to speak, Shouts also began against him. 'You're guilty, take off your uniform.' And assuming the foreigners, they called the Commander-in-Chief Toledano. As soon as he was called, the mother got up and tried to burst towards him. Really physical. Stop it. "Come here," she shouted at the general, "you will pay the price for my son, take off your uniform, I'm not done with you yet."
My interlocutor gasped heavily.
Bereaved parents have already read outcries against officers, I told him.
"True," he said, "and I must tell you that Barel's father kept trying to silence the mother and told her it was hurting Barel, but in vain. If you were there, you would understand what I was saying," he said.
Go on, I asked.
"You should have seen Toledano," he said. "It's become dangerous. It's not the mother's calls, but the reactions in the audience."

How did it end, I asked. "The commissioner understood the situation," he said. Not to go out alone. That's how they came out. together. I'm telling you I was afraid they would hit the general, or the commissioner. But really. "
Are you the only one who felt that way ?, I asked," Absolutely not, "he replied," in the area where I was just shocked. People, most of them right-wingers, told each other they had never seen anything like it in their lives. There was a level of incitement and a level of anger and hatred that I had not experienced yet. "Who is responsible, I asked him." Is it not clear to you? " To which we have fallen, it will be possible to understand the magnitude and intensity of the damage he has caused here. This is no longer politics. It's hate,It is a harnessing of bereavement to politics, it is the use of dark instincts. "
