Opinion | Hoy, Artzi, Ben-Artzi | Israel today

2021-10-19T23:52:23.558Z


The speech of the late Yitzhak Rabin's grandson made one wonder: Is the sharp pain that does not let go of the disillusionment that the Rabin family is part of the people of Israel, even with many faces, all of which are equally legitimate?


The sin of arrogance is what leads the tragic hero to its end.

This sin is hubris.

This arrogance, inherent in the DNA of the old left, the one who fed himself, is what led him to his end. Not because his friends were murdered, God forbid, but because they became extinct as an ideological group. There are not many people like that man, Yonatan Ben-Artzi, who go With us today, and maybe it's good that there are not many left who think like him.

This arrogance, so similar to that of his late grandfather, does not see that there are other parts of the people, and if there is - then there is no doubt that it is simply a public squabble or an unfortunate mistake, and should be ignored and continued as usual, and let them roam like propellers until the end. It distorts reality. It is this that allows the grandson of the deceased to call the bloody Oslo days "three years of peace." Fulfilled that he lived in the film, but the extreme lack of awareness, disrespect for the dead and the complete detachment from the truth written in the blood of victims - unforgivable.

"The danger is the same danger, the gun of one madman carried in front of an angry and agitated crowd." Ben-Artzi went on, and no, he did not talk about the crazy, dangerous, inciting Balfour demonstrations. Of course not. Because as Sharzi Barkai said only yesterday in the GLC, after reading a list of murderers who came from the right, that he does not blame the whole sector, but he actually does. Because "everyone is right, everyone wears a kippah. There is no forensic evidence (that the entire right is to blame for Rabin's assassination). Circumstantial evidence - there is and there is. "That is, there is no danger on the left, there was not and will not be. The right-wing public is the only one that has the same violent gene that allows for political assassination.

"This year, after dark years of fear and paralysis, the people of Israel opened their eyes. The Israeli spirit won, the rule of the people won the rule of the individual," continued the grandson, who likes to be remembered, but he also enjoys forgetting.

He forgot, for example, that Netanyahu, who for him was a dictator of darkness and paralysis, was the one who was elected by a majority of votes again and again.

But these natives, what do they understand.

He further forgot that the government formed by his grandfather before he was assassinated was a minority government that relied on the Arabs.

Minority.

Clearly undemocratic.

These were truly years of fear and paralysis.

If there is anything truly wonderful about Judaism (and there are many such things in it), such that even outright secularists fully admit it, is the ritual of mourning.

Funeral, seven, thirty, year.

A calculated and precise process, tailored to the human psyche.

"26 years after the terrible night, I can look at you and say that the period of mourning is over. This morning we can finally move on."

This is a somewhat confusing statement, because there is no mourning that lasts 26 years.

Or maybe Ben-Artzi is not talking about the death of his grandfather, but about the rule of the right?

Is it possible that the day of remembrance for the late Yitzhak Rabin is actually a day of mourning for the loss of the hegemonic rule of the left? , That the Rabin family is part of the people of Israel, even with many faces, all of which are equally legitimate? I wish he knew no more sorrow.
