Opinion | Without shame: Yes, Mizrahi candidate in the Likud Israel today

2022-02-05T22:08:18.277Z


There will be those who will say that a recommendation for an "Oriental" candidate is tainted with racism, the extraction of the ethnic demon from the bottle • But the demon has already been rescued, and its shadow has been spread over the political system


Sooner or later, the time will come when Benjamin Netanyahu will retire from political life.

when will it happen?

Puzzle.

Days ago, Netanyahu announced that he intended to continue leading the Likud, but did not specify how long.

It is possible that his retirement from the arena will take place in the vicinity of his trial, if the new legal adviser dedicates himself to her predecessor's efforts towards a plea bargain.

After he retires, a space will be created at the top of the Likud that will be filled with demon dancing until a successor is elected.

To Netanyahu's credit, tremendous achievements were recorded that he brought to the country.

Not so with the next leadership: he did not signal who would be his successor and did not recommend.

An heir should gain experience, should be nurtured, and over time.

At the time, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir brought the next generation closer to his government, from which he hoped that his successors would emerge.

But Shamir would be very disappointed if he knew that some of them - among others, Ehud Olmert, Dan Meridor, Meir Sheetrit and others - would make a political U-turn.

The absence of the candidate's name to succeed Netanyahu is already causing a struggle for the inheritance, one that could severely hurt the movement.

We have already learned that popular leaders do not mention the name of the one who deserves to be used in office, and perhaps - based on past experience - some wish in their hearts that their successor would not be able to restore their success.

Netanyahu is very popular to know a significant portion of the public, and many believe he is one of the excellent prime ministers who have been here.

If Netanyahu names a successor worthy of his taste, then the candidate will have to place himself on behalf of the party and only if he is elected - return it to power.

So who is your candidate, there will be those who will ask.

Well, in my opinion, it would be better for Netanyahu's successor to be from the East or North Africa community.

So far, four Likud prime ministers have served, all of Ashkenazi descent.

Most Likud voters are from the Eastern community.

Out of them were already sounds of frustration and anger because so far no "Oriental" personality has served as prime minister.

Begin managed to largely dull the feelings of discrimination and discrimination, to the point that some called him with a "Moroccan" smile.

The layer of Easterners was defined by sociologists as a secondary layer to the Ashkenazi, dominant layer.

There will be those who will say that a recommendation for an "Oriental" candidate is tainted with racism, in extracting the ethnic demon from the bottle.

But the demon has already been rescued.

Like an anonymous virus it roams free, and its shadow is spread over the political system.

His presence is very noticeable in the ranks of the Likud.

An "Oriental" personality, if placed in the Likud leadership, will have an excellent chance of coming to power as well.

This choice will dull bitter feelings and discrimination.

It is very doubtful whether the longings of the majority in the Likud, and in the country in general, can be ignored.

In the past we have experienced a social "explosion" on an ethnic background.

Belle will experience another one like him.

It is completely unnecessary.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
