The Likud shoots to the right and misses the target.
Netanyahu left, and the cries of social incitement remained.
They are always from the left, but the deepest rift opens within the right and develops into a disturbing social phenomenon.
It is called the Likudniks against the settlers, it was born somewhere in the days of the previous government's fear of losing power, and it will distance the right from power more and more, as it has done so far.
In the abusive scene towards the end of the film "Beautiful Woman", Staki (later George of Seinfeld), a friend of Edward (Richard Gere), unexpectedly lands in the penthouse of the beautiful Vivian (Julia Roberts), tries to exploit her and when she refuses to slap her That she's just a prostitute from Hollywood Boulevard. This is my connotation of the Likud-settler war. If the scene was "Meme," I would put an arrow on Roberts and place it as a representative symbol of what is known as "The Settlers." She understands that there will always be someone who will remind her of the original sin and use it, but for her it is just a reason to evolve and want to spread wings beyond sponsors who might pay her when they feel like it but despise her before and after.
Likudists against settlers is a strange definition, almost a fiction. After all, there is really no such thing as "settlers." The nickname (originally flattering) invented at the Park Hotel in Hebron in 1968 and continued to Sebastia in the 1970s and to the headlines immediately afterwards, is no longer associated with half a million people without distinct characteristics, all of whom have in common being residents of a land released after six days. There are development towns beyond the Green Line, there are councils with a socio-economic rating of 7, and within the entire range. 19% of them voted for Likud, 21% for religious Zionism, which is a member of the Likud and is apparently identified with the settlers, only 13% to the right (in the old format) and the rest - Torah Judaism and Shas and blue and white and some Labor and Meretz.
But Bibiist thinkers declare a rift between the traditional public and the settler right, and between the ultra-Orthodox and the "settlers," and blame, of course, the settlers; This is a direct continuation of an article published in Haaretz after the formation of the Bennett government, in which a senior Likud official lamented that Likud members are tired of the settlers and that "they will not look for us again when they need help in Gush Etzion." A true rightist does not think that Judea and Samaria are a whim of a handful. A public figure will fight for values and citizens, not for blind loyalty.
MK Galit Distel-Atbrian also wrote this week in disappointment about the public that made her leave the left and join the right, and now, she says, is trying to please the left. come on. Although Netanyahu was the darling of the settlement, and rightly so, the Likud's failure register lists the destruction of the houses of Amona and Netiv HaAvot, and before that Gush Katif and the Hebron agreement, and if we return to Begin who is so missed - the destruction of the Sinai region. In the balance of allegiance to the ideology, I would not, instead of Likud members, be arrogant about the "settlers." 12 years and the young settlement was not settled. Half a million settlers consistently see from the window a criminal takeover of C-areas that the "right" regime did not dream of fending off, and not even a word about sovereignty.
When the Likud identifies with the settlement enterprise as a favor it does with a sector, it drops the ground beneath its existence as an ideological movement.
The feeling is that in the Likud, settlers love day in and day out, only that loving settlers is not the issue, nor is the Likud.
The issue is the establishment of settlement, strengthening security, unity.
In the political arena, the Likud concentrates on delegitimizing Ayelet Shaked, the last right-winger in the government, and on the ground - activists underestimate Eviatar's compromise (you had eight years to settle it as well), instead of memorizing that power was lost due to over-personalization and lack of ideology.
It is easy to insult those who see their place of residence as a Zionist mission and even those who just came to live in the territories, it is difficult to reunite the right-wing ranks.
