The widow of one of the murdered in Elad shouts at the prime minister and insults him in a phone call.
About 500 Elkana residents are revolting against Naftali Bennett's arrival in the settlement this week.
These are two signs that something has exploded in the depths of Israeli society.
Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu describes the government's surrender to the PM's demand for continued support for the coalition as "the sale of the state's liquidation to the Shura Council."
Senior Likud officials claim that this is a recognition of illegal construction in a significant number of illegal localities throughout the Negev.
Bennett, in a speech in the Knesset this week, hinted that something like this was happening, but the government maintains ambiguity and does not disclose what RAAM will actually receive in exchange for its continued membership in the coalition.
"The state is falling under our feet," Netanyahu said at a Likud faction meeting.
It expresses what many in the public feel, especially on the right.
There is a feeling that Israel is in a destructive dynamic.
Mansour Abbas knows how to calculate that his achievement in exchange for the government's survival is worth another 150,000 Bedouin residents in the Negev.
The comparison, at best, is to the period before the outbreak of the second intifada.
"Israel is very strong on the outside with the IDF's innovative capabilities," said a senior Likud official, "but on the inside it is weak.
"As soon as the Arabs saw that Jews preferred Muslims over other Jews, they recognized this as a sign of the weakening of society in Israel." Every day he brings with him more news of rampant violence.
The weakness underlying the parliamentary construction to prevent a government headed by Netanyahu is similar to the weaknesses that Israel transmitted in the months before the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000. But the current situation is more serious.
The mainstream media did not perceive the events of 2000 in this way. This prevented the warning of the Israeli public.
But it was precisely in the IDF leadership at that time that they were ready (Chief of Staff Mofaz and his deputy, Ya'alon).
The terrorist attack follows the hasty withdrawal from the security zone in May 2000 and the negotiations on the division of Jerusalem and sovereignty over the Temple Mount at Camp David.
In fact, Ehud Barak's far-reaching attempt to reach a permanent settlement with the Palestinians and Hezbollah has a feeling that the Jews are on the verge of collapse ("spider webs").
Today the situation is worse, because the main cause of violence is Israeli Arabs.
All sources predict that if there is an outbreak beyond what is already happening on the ground, the violence will be much more severe than the Wall Guard events a year ago.
"What was a year ago will look like an annual trip," I heard from a source who watches things closely.
No wonder the whole Arab world is pushing for the PM and the joint list to keep the government. Netanyahu is a red line from Ahmad Tibi's point of view. I wonder why. For those who were not clear, the government has a safety net. That the police are trying to stop, and of course respect the terrorists.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Bennett is bending and breaking all parliamentary rules, chief among them the principle of separation of powers. Norwegian law allows Bennett to technically fire a MK. Who has heard of such a thing. Everything is sponsored by the liberal left. Those who feared the transformation of the Jewish state into spider webs always warned that the process would be accompanied by the destruction of democracy.
Who will build, will build a house
On the one hand, the content of the viral WhatsApp message that Bnei Gantz read at his faction's meeting is correct - in terms of the message.
This is a statement of intent to dismantle the state, to Islamic takeover.
"We have an area in the Negev the size of Gush Dan," reads the threatening statement, "full of huts with small Bedouin children. What will you do? This is actual Palestinian territory. One tractor is coming - we will use left-wing organizations like Peace Now and B'Tselem C) ... the Galilee with the help of Allah, also ours. "Real estate details below.
The problem is that the text does not sound authentic.
As if a skilled copywriter clicked on all the triggers of those who still had a glimmer of Zionism left in them.
The bigger problem is that the agreements with Ra'am to return to the coalition are worse than the threat that Gantz made to his comrades. Of tens of millions of shekels, in addition to the 40 million that will already be budgeted. 70 sqm.
It is subject to control.
But does anyone see teams of surveyors pen the illegal settlements to check which structure to demolish and which not, because of an anomaly?
It's actually an open account for all the illegal construction.
Gantz, the defense minister, has an answer to the stern warning he issued in front of his faction: he will not sit in the government with Netanyahu, and the Negev and the Galilee will be burned.
The bizarre case of a government with post-Zionist wings is a confirmation of Churchill's warning when most of his ministers, especially the important and senior ones, pressed to sit down with Adolf Hitler to negotiate peace and leave the war in 1940.
His message was: if we sit with him at the negotiating table we will no longer be able to get up. RAAM are not oppressors, of course.
They have only opposite goals to those of Zionism.
But the dynamics of the negotiations are relevant.
It is especially interesting to watch the two models of Zionism, Zvika Hauser and Yoaz Handel.
Models in the simple sense that for the many years they have been on the public stage they have been a model of Zionism now.
Focus precisely on issues of principle of the realization of Zionism today and the preservation of Israel as a Jewish state.
They focused on sovereignty and construction in the Golan.
Hauser also focused on the bureaucratic disruption that thwarts government policy.
Handel was the head of the Institute for Zionist Strategy.
Now they sat down at the table and clung to the chair.
They will not be allowed to get up from the table until they have finished swallowing everything they have been left on the plate.
During Gideon Saar's tenure as Minister of Education, tests were collected in the geography of students at a quality academic institution.
It has been found that many of the students are unable to draw even in general the borders of the country;
They did not know how to draw an approximate relative size of the Gaza Strip.
Quite a few students did not even know how to place the Gaza Strip or the Dead Sea on the map of the country.
It is to be hoped that Joaz Handel still remembers where the Negev is and what the territory of the State of Israel is.
Finger in eye
Rihad Khir a-Din is a cousin of Mahmoud Khir a-Din, the senior officer from the General Staff patrol who fell in battle and his name was allowed to be published this week.
"Beautiful words do not impress me, especially in an atmosphere of elections," Rihad told Israel Today.
With the publication of the name, the discussion on the Druze and the law of nationality resumed.
"Anyone who thought about the issue could have raised it even two months ago, and could have raised it even in two months. I don't want to tie it to the family."
The main statistic concerns the almost unequivocal support from wall to wall of the Druze, including the young, in the State of Israel.
"They conducted a survey, completely credible, immediately after Ayman Odeh's statement, which also called on the Druze to 'throw away their weapons.' law.
"No one wants another country here. I take you to the more distant past. If you asked my father, who died years ago, he would tell you that for him the State of Israel is part of redemption. He was born in 1930. My grandfather fought God. He worked as a security guard for Mekorot and was killed by terrorists in 1963. My father enlisted in the early 1950s. His perception was that this was the country he needed to serve and develop.
"I still believe in what they - the previous generation - believed. One of my sons is in the General Staff Reconnaissance Regiment, the other is an Air Force pilot.
This perception has been broken in the current generation - and this is because of the law of the nation.
95 percent identify with the principle of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.
Identify with the founders of Zionism.
Even for net Druze reasons.
But the Nationality Law was for the current young generation a finger in the eye towards those who served in the IDF.
Rihad mentions an agreement that David Ben-Gurion wanted to cut with the Druze as early as the 1930s.
The Druze, for erroneous reasons, he said, erred and did not sign, "but the State of Israel is part of the evolution of the Druze."
Statements such as those of Odeh or of leftists are recorded among the Druze and wounded.
"The left said of the Druze policeman who was killed in Hadera, that he was fighting for non-existent targets," he says.
Faced with the fear that explicit legislation in favor of the Druze will result in a Druze version of the "Law of Return" from Jabal Druze in Syria and Lebanon, Rihad says: "I want a strong state of Israel and no right of return. There will be no such thing."
In any case, he opposes a basic law on the subject, and instead supports the anchoring of the Declaration of Independence within the framework of the Nationality Law as it is.

If Avichai Mandelblit had not run away from the plea deal with Netanyahu, even without leaving a trace behind, we would be with a right-wing government today, probably headed by Israel Katz.
But the humiliating conditions of the deal, as well as the scandalous developments during the trial, made Netanyahu a Likud man for prime minister without question.
It has become a matter of principle.
Katz himself unconditionally supports Netanyahu on this issue.
The high data of the economy, as published a week ago, and the alarming figure of a decline in growth in the first quarter of the year - as published this week - strengthen Katz and Netanyahu.
They also greatly strengthen the nostalgia for Netanyahu and Kahlon, and of course for the remembered duo Steinitz and Netanyahu.
12 years of a growing, stable economy, climbing to the top ranking in global credit, and zero inflation.
A person takes out a mortgage and can plan the loans for a period of years.
It seems that the last fuel fumes of Katz and Netanyahu's economy were enough until the transfer of the budget of Lieberman, who was supposed to be the prime minister of the interior and the economy.
According to the data, Israel's economy is on the same track as the US economy. Rapid growth in the exit from the corona, which is halted within a few months due to insanely inflated budgetary plans. .
Going back to March 2009. The Netanyahu government has suffered an economy that, like the rest of the world's economies, was hit hard by the huge financial crisis of September 2008. Recall that in the United States there was a recession that lasted almost ten years, on the brink of total economic collapse. Within a few months, in 2009, and this is the Israeli economy, Bibi and Yuval Steinitz, supported by Stanley Fischer, acted the opposite of everyone else: instead of flowing budgets to the economy, a restrained budget, dismantling centralization in the economy, plans for the gas layout and more.
Katz is proud to maintain the credit rating during the epidemic and to keep thousands of small businesses alive.
This is what led to the rapid growth in exit.
He also gives credit to Bnei Gantz on the current budget.
Lieberman and Bennett's mistake was to raise taxes and inflate budgets, most of which were sewn up by finance officials.
Inflation and rising real estate prices are not a natural disaster. It is impossible to say 'this is how it is all over the world'; all over the world it was low and in Israel it was not. Someone did not think enough. Someone thought that passing a budget was an achievement in itself.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
