Fake concern for the well-being of democracy was voiced in light of the threats to leave the coalition, expressed by MK Jida Rinawi Zoabi.

Aside from the fact that the message was conveyed on several media channels at once, how much hypocrisy can be and how much cynicism can be mobilized to explain to us the problem of Zoabi, as well as Silman and Eli Avidar - is that they were nominated and not elected in democratic primaries.

Hence the source of their audacity to "kick a bucket", and even "betray" in the way of their faction.

Suddenly, in an instant, those who had formed entire undemocratic parties arose from their anti-democratic coma, over the purity of one chairman who usually has no internal electoral mechanism or constitutional clause that could ever be replaced; those who repeatedly call for Netanyahu to head the Democratic Party The Great (Likud) even though he was elected in the primaries - only because others failed to defeat him in the election; The democratic election, of course; those who appointed more than a third of their Knesset members to their coalition, that is, beyond the "democratic" quota given to them in the election; those who decided to staff the Knesset committees in a way contrary to the election results and Only to form a government that has never been presented to the public as an alternative in elections;Those who now head a coalition that does not enjoy a majority in the Knesset, and release money to anyone who demands it in order to survive - they heard that a certain Knesset member is undermining the integrity of their coalition, and began to shout: "But democracy."

It's not just a recurring story of hypocrisy, cynicism and mobilized media.

It is in the guise of an anti-democratic puppet created by this camp and fed for years, which may be beginning to surpass its creator.

Historically, the political-socio-economic revolution of 1977 enabled significant social leadership for "Second Israel", through a variety of processes, including economic liberalization, the opening of the higher education system and the encouragement of intra-party democratization - to the point of establishing a new Mizrahi middle class ( Written by Dr. Uri Cohen and Dr. Nissim Leon).

However, in response to this, and in order to limit the power and influence of the national camp, they began to use practices to reduce democracy: first, by criminalizing and reducing the importance of democratic popular institutions, such as party centers and later primaries. ");

Second, to turn the discourse of governmental corruption into an essentialist trait of elected officials, in order to crown under them an unelected bureaucracy;

Third, the establishment of the "Constitutional Revolution" and the subsequent birth of the "substantial democracy" in order to expropriate the sovereign powers to the judiciary.

Whoever created an anti-democratic system, through a variety of mechanisms, to narrow the power of the democratically growing camp, suddenly resents the fruit of its despair.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
