Where has humanity gone?
It's hard to believe that all this is happening under our noses, with the Minister of Defense being Bnei Gantz and the Minister of Internal Security being Amar Bar-Lev, and I guess they both get information about it and eat their hearts out.
It happened earlier this week, in the southern Hebron Mountains.
Palestinian shepherds, women and men, from the nearby village of Thala, came to the well to water their flocks.
Settlers from the Man Farm outpost soon arrived there and also asked to irrigate their flocks from the well water, although the Civil Administration informed them that this was not a grazing area for them.
Then a confrontation ensued, and policemen were also there, and a settler holding Ella in his hand hit two women, and broke the hand of one of the Palestinian shepherds, Yusuf Aliyan by name.
At first the policemen took the baton's goddess, but soon the heart of one of them softened, he took the goddess and returned to the beating settler.
Maybe because he was afraid to leave him without protection ... there is simply no limit to cruelty and folly.
And if I add to this some more of the settlers' plots this week (the blatant behavior of the 14-year-old daughter of the head of the Kiryat Arba council during a demonstration by the Lehavah organization in Jerusalem, or the removal of Palestinians in Mount Hebron from their playground in Susya), it is impossible not to wonder: Who supports the division of the land, in order to ensure a stable Jewish majority in a democratic regime, has a minority that opposes the division, and believes that a Jewish minority is allowed to control a Palestinian majority whose rights are very partial. But who can defend such despicable behavior?
The king is not bound by coalition discipline. what a luck! At the very last minute, a brave treatment of the problem was carried out, and as a result, no Palestinian state was established on Tuesday this week, as part of the conclusion of a meeting between Jordanian King Abdullah II and Deputy Speaker of the Knesset MK Mansour Abbas. The meeting was, of course, good, and at the end the palace issued a dry press release. Among other things, it stated that the king said that the resolution of the conflict would take place when a Palestinian state was established based on the borders of 1967. These things are so routine that it seems to me that they are already engraved on the official paper of the palace.
In the vicinity of the prime minister, Naftali Bennett, there was an uproar about Abbas participating in a conversation in which his interlocutor referred to peace with the Palestinians, Rahmana Letzelen. Abbas said the conversation dealt with other matters, and the palace pulled these serious things, so as not to shock the government. Informed sources say that only after everyone calmed down did the king ask to find out if the coalition guidelines also apply to him.
Bennett needs to know that he is ridiculing himself in these guidelines. His government can only exist if its members act out of coalition discipline but are free to express themselves. And since the two-state solution is acceptable to the whole world - it is better not to get into situations like this where the king found himself.
The new Biden.
After receiving several political blows, and losing much of the support that brought him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington - the president emerged victorious, persuading his party's refusers to support a law that was at the center of his election campaign and would rehabilitate US infrastructure. Measured in trillions, it will also convey the second part of its vision - the one that deals with investments in American society.
America, which in the last generation has neglected its infrastructure in a way that is difficult to explain, and in which the social gaps that have opened up in it are truly appalling, desperately needs these two upheavals.
Biden's happiness was very evident when he stood before the nation and announced his successes.
But anyone who cares about America's success can not help but welcome the change that is taking place on the other side of the ocean.
