When a country encounters a global epidemic once every century, all social gaps float, but there are also arguments about values.

The corona has taught us that things need to be given up so that as many people as possible will survive the terrible disease, and each society chooses its own priorities and sharpens the ideals on which it is built and founded.



The current government, which is celebrating three months soon to be formed, has chosen to impose very few restrictions and is proud that it did not reach a closure on holidays - although none of the Ministry of Health officials spoke of horizontal traffic restrictions, but of crowd restrictions in the form of green and purple.

The government has miraculously raised the economic issue and kept the economy almost fully active, including mass events.

But this decision has economic, educational, social and most of all implications - contempt for human life like we have never seen here.

The fourth wave is particularly violent, with more than 700 people dying since its inception, even though we are the most vaccinated country in the world.

August was the fourth fatal index, and in the first five days of September, 127 corona patients had already died.

These are inconceivable data that cannot be contained.

In general, the government seems to tend to confuse two mental movements - the bride and the absorption.

Death cannot be contained, but is inevitably absorbed.

Absorb and soak until the mind is completely numb.



The Ministry of Health reiterates that most of the dead by now are not vaccinated, but it should be remembered that 10% of the most serious patients in hospitals are after the third vaccination.

These patients did not go to Omar Adam's show or Panjoya and did everything to survive.

This of course does not mean that the vaccine is ineffective, but rather that it should have been given time to make an impact, and health system experts understand what happened to the vaccine's effectiveness without rushing from the dead on the way.

On the economic issue, too, the government seems to be looking at things rather erratically.

Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said more than once that he is not interested in compensating businesses "because everything is open."

On Sunday, the head of the public health service, Dr. Sharon Elroi Price, admitted in News 12 that the only reason the Panjoya events took place was that they did not want to compensate the organizers: "All government ministries and ministers were in favor of stopping large gatherings.

It was decided not to restrict gatherings so as not to compensate the students and operators. "



Beyond the fact that human life is worth more than any compensation paid to the producers of the panjuia, the notion that businesses are not compensated - breaks the owner even more.

There are a lot of cancellations, especially in the field of performances and culture, but the government is looking away to pretend not to see.

In addition, the financial injustice on days of isolation applies mainly to the less able.

Here, too, the government prefers to move forward without helping them.

In fact, the state has decided to abdicate its responsibility to its citizens, and to show that everything is fine and that there is no need for its intervention.

Existed only because they did not want to compensate the organizers.

Into all this also enters the educational aspect. We started the school year with a record number of verified students, resulting in an epidemic of isolation - about 100,000 isolated children since the beginning of the year. Education Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton said in the Education Committee that parents should actually be happy that the isolation is not about working days, but about holidays. Once again the economy surpasses anything else. Isn't it important enough to have joint holidays with the whole family after all the holidays they had to gather in small capsules? Is the children's education for a Jewish or family tradition something trivial?



Beyond that, before the start of the year there is a public discussion about the very opening of the school year, and whether it is necessary, or perhaps even necessary, to postpone the opening of the year for a month.

The discourse about postponing classes when pools are open, performances take place and amusement parks operate as usual, is a complete distortion between the main and the treat.

In a healthy state and society, education should come first, and if it is necessary to "offset" so that the morbidity does not rise, we will close everything before postponing the school year.

It eventually became a victory for the Minister of Education, after two months in which she was at the forefront following her problematic statement about vaccinating students during school hours, instead of a discourse on medical values ​​and needs.

We arrived at Rosh Hashanah with very few restrictions, the school year opened mostly as a series - with very few restrictions as well.

There are those who will see this as a victory, but it comes at the expense of the weakest in our society.

Former Knesset member Ilan Gilon said, "A Knesset member should make decisions as if he were a poor, sick old man and not as if he were young, rich and healthy."



The government decided to base its year on the war in Corona on the strong side, leaving the rest to fend for themselves.

The social price paid for these decisions is infinitely higher than any compensation in the world.

We hope that next year we will know how to organize our priorities as a society in a way that sees the weak as well.
