There are usually examples of Yair Lapid's unfortunate statements, but two of them are especially dear to my heart, because they provide a glimpse into the place to which Lapid wants to lead us.
One deletes from the dictionary the entry "anti-Semitism", and in its place places a progressive monument in memory of the underprivileged of the world.
In a second, Lapid insisted that Said Al-Kharomi "fell in battle," while the fighter Bar-El Hadaria "died" after being "wounded by gunfire."
I got used to the torch.
With all due respect to the Foreign Minister of the State of Israel, I have learned over the years to attach to his words the importance that befits them.
This is the little problem.
What does not work for me is the irrational amount of Israelis who continue to support it.
Until recently, the things that Lapid voiced in his language were sacred to every Israeli.
Without blinking, Lapid utters statements that until yesterday were considered taboo.
What has happened in the meantime?
What new variant of Israelis has grown here in three months?
Yair Golan is also considered assigned within his camp, but according to the sign on the door of his office and according to his self-confidence - he seems to be the leader of a spontaneous mass movement.
Merav Michaeli is destroying the Hebrew language and making it the enemy of the people, and the unimaginable situation in which supporters of terrorists and outspoken haters of Israel are the flesh and blood of the state leadership - acceptable-even-acceptable.
Is it the post-Zionist, progressive, anti-Jewish coalition that operates when it is liberated from any value commitment, is this the authentic representation of half the people of Israel?
Do the positions of Michaeli, Maraana, Moati, Mansour Abbas and Gilad Karib reflect some familiar Israeli reality?
I think not.
A huge part of the Israeli center-left camp belongs to the lost Israel.
The one who votes to the left time and time again, and then looks sourly at the results of her vote that are moving away from her.
The citizens of Lost Israel are the people who voted en masse for Yitzhak Rabin, and have since lost their way.
To the right they will never vote.
They came from a tradition and a tribe, and in their tribe do not vote for the right.
Why?
So.
The hand will not give.
That's fine, by the way, so most of us are built, I'm sure.
But with the assassination of Rabin and the colorful death of the Oslo fantasy on the streets of Tel Aviv, the lost people of Israel were left without direction, without an option and without anyone to represent them.
Most of them still support the amusing idea that the establishment of a Palestinian state will bring an end to the conflict, and most of them are convinced that Benjamin Netanyahu does not really deserve to be prime minister.
But there is a long way to go between them and post-Zionism and the globalist lie marketed by their constituents.
Lost Israel is happy about the change of government in the country, of course, but inside it sees in a merciless neon light the ugliness of the act by which it happened.
Lost Israel is tightly connected to the Zionist ethos and to Judaism, far more than what seems to the right-wing sections.
They are the ones who fast on Yom Kippur, but only from the morning.
They are the ones who will leave the country's roads empty tomorrow.
Take their children for a walk to the Western Wall, and explain to them how to push a note.
They will arrive in droves tomorrow in the synagogues wearing a secular dome.
Those who do not come, will be careful not to play loud music and consider their fasting neighbors.
None of them would have sat down in a cafe on Yom Kippur, had one been open.
The same parents, all of them, circumcise their children according to Jewish law.
By choice, as a fulfillment of value, without coercion and without persuasion, and those children in turn enlist in the army without hesitation.
True, the citizens of Lost Israel long to see another leader greet on the eve of Independence Day, but will still have a hard time stopping the tears while lighting the beacons.
More important than the return of the right to power, the return of lost Israel to the Knesset is important.
Happy New Year to all Israelis who look at their politicians and mumble: "That's not what I meant."
Health and peace to us all, and a good signature finish.
