Every time a "first Israel" citizen is accused of discrimination on ethnic grounds - he is offended.
Who more and who less, but the general feeling is that the act of indictment itself is the injustice.
I understand the sense of insult and there is more to it than a nucleus of justice, except that the charge is not directed against Mr. Steinmitz or Mrs. Zilberstein, who really did no harm but to their representatives;
The people behind the microphone.
The ethnic demon here, plump and smiling as if he had forgotten to grow old, and a group of people take care to release him from time to time so that he can break furniture and soil the house.
Whenever it serves their needs, "Israel First" spokesmen will ride on the back of the demon with admirable skill. There are often examples: Amnon Abramovich recently called the right-wing demonstration "inferior." Yair Lapid used the phrase "shit" when he came to describe the Likudniks, the next day he is followed by Emily Moati, and in an implicit Elizabethan style she calls them "sewers". We can continue with Zehava Gal-On's solid "piece of beast" to describe a generic right-wing man, and so we will get to Dudu Topaz's chatter speech and beyond.
symmetry?
Unfortunately no.
You can of course find ugly expressions on the right, but I do not remember anyone who corresponded with images of sewage, landings and body secretions.
The ethnic attack against the left speaks at most of arrogance and difficulties in expressing emotions.
No right-wing speaker considers himself "superior" versus "inferior," "human" versus "beast," or describes his opponent as primitive.
I will give an example: you can suggest to a friend that he check maybe he is a step on something before he enters, and you can tell him "you stink".
There's a difference.
Ironically, the issue of ethnic origin is much more vital on the left;
This energy is in demand.
The right would have long since given up on the matter, for the simple reason that the ethnic demon is not so interested in "Second Israel."
How do I know?
I look at reality.
Looking for statements on an ethnic background, speeches from demonstrations and tweets on the net, readers are welcome to check for themselves.
But the conclusions cannot be avoided: there is no symmetry here.
The slime is hurled unilaterally on one side.
Whenever this is effective, left-wing speakers will raise the ethnic issue, which will not stop them even for a moment from being offended to the depths of their souls when accused of disgust and condescension.
"How can we be said to be arrogant ?! We are dying for Sarit Hadad!"
Many flags are flown in the Likud: the national flag, the free market or the struggle for democracy.
Even the LGBT cell in the Likud is an exciting success story, and it seems that only one issue did not win its flag: the ethnic issue. Why? As I said, us on the right is less interesting. Within the Likud - and came out of the affair tooth and nail.
As the representative of "Second Israel", I hereby inform the Ambassador of "First Israel" that everything is fine.
We do not want anything, in my life.
No armor, no affirmative action and no time in Galgalatz.
No need, really everything is fine.
All we offer to the speakers of "Israel First" is a periodic peek in the mirror, and twice a day a self-awareness pill on a full stomach.
