Promised quiet, we got a stench Israel today

These are the days when the heartbreaks of men and women who stood in protest for the salvation of the Dead Sea can be understood.

They took off their clothes for a group nude photo shoot because an exposed body causes a feeling of lack of protection.

The HM also feels these days that he is exposed. Although we were not asked to undress, he is also protesting.

Elected officials left many civilians in their clothes, but without protection and without weapons for a counterattack.

Because many citizens, it can be assumed, are currently under attack on the part of the nation's elected representatives, who were elected to the Knesset, by virtue of their vote.

It was enough to slap one slight insult to tarnish the whole institution that symbolizes the sovereignty of the people.

Was it necessary to add a word to the shout that MK Miri Regev hurled - twice - at MK Ram Ben Barak, who was defined as "hating Israel"?

Whoever was deputy head of the Mossad and lost his brother in the Yom Kippur War is, according to Regev, "hating Israel."

Nor is any interpretation necessary for Foreign Minister Lapid's statement that "the ideological descendants of Yigal Amir" serve in the Knesset.

That is, out of the 120 elected, the next killer will emerge.

Faced with such statements, indeed the citizen is left exposed.

And from the rudeness, how will he defend himself?

Where will he find refuge to defend himself from the verbal stench spread by some of the public electorate?

But he still holds a weapon, a license: the right to choose.

The use of this weapon is very easy: simply, do not go to the polls on election day.

They will say, after all, this is a step that cracks democracy.

Well, harming the utterances from the mouths of the aforementioned MKs is more detrimental to democracy than abstaining from voting.

The measures that the Knesset can take against the rebellious are meager. It has been about six months since the ethics committee was appointed due to the ongoing conflict between the camps. It seems that the lack of the committee does not burden the parties, which only helps its absence. The means of punishment that the committee can impose on a rebellious MK are also meager. Ethics committees that have operated in the past have contributed little to purifying the atmosphere in the Knesset.

At a conference in memory of the late Meir Shamgar, who was president of the Supreme Court, Adv. Eyal Yinon, former Speaker of the Knesset, said that "we have greatly improved" in the ethical field. Perhaps. 20 percent have confidence in the House. The reason: What is happening in the debates cannot be hidden. MK Miki Levy, before being appointed chairman of the House, was also photographed in the Knesset when he erupted towards MK Hanin Zoabi.

The ushers blocked it to prevent excessive proximity to the MK who came down from the rostrum.

In the courtroom where they praised Shamgar's path, in the army, in the government (as a spokesman), in court - a kind of lament was heard about the lack of ethics.
