The political system does not enjoy, to say the least, public trust: we have already learned that everything is a position, that whoever shouts against a government with Arab parties today is the one who offered them even more himself, who rejoiced against Norwegian law and the inflated government adopted the same model. Tzaddiks in Sodom, The Knesset of Israel is a place with very few values ​​and lots of combinations.



Still, it seems that the words of Miri Regev (to remind you, who was supposed to be the Foreign Minister of the State of Israel today) and Yuval Steinitz (who was the Minister of Finance in Israel), also managed to shock the last cynic, who knows that a politician is one who adopts opinions or rejects them For his own good.

More on Walla!

Miri Regev: "We decided we wanted to overthrow the government, so there is no stomach ache even when it's on the soldiers"

To the full article

A statement that shocks even the last of the cynics.

Miri Regev has a long history of controversial statements, but it seems that the only one worth mentioning in the current context is about the broadcasting corporation.

"What is the corporation worth if we do not control it?" Regev wondered at the time, revealing that not only had the ideals been lost, but even the loss of the distinction between good and evil had been lost.

There is no better or worse, but only relatively: what is good for us or bad for us.



It is therefore inevitable to state that Miri Regev's statement, as leaked last night from the faction meeting, is in fact an extension of the same statement about the corporation, only this time it is possible to put the State of Israel in the place of saying: "What is the state worth to us, if we do not control it?"

The profound difference

The one who surprised this time is actually Yuval Steinitz, former Minister of Energy, Minister of Intelligence and Minister of Finance.

If we are already accustomed (or not) to Miri Regev's sharp and controversial statements, then this time Steinitz was the one who sharpened the tone: if Miri Regev is not interested in soldiers or rape victims, all in the name of the only ideal she probably believes in - back in power - Steinitz He hesitated to add to the list of things that for him are only means and not targets for the disabled and Holocaust survivors.

And really - what are Holocaust survivors worth if it is impossible to turn them into political capital?

A particularly repulsive outburst of shame loss.

A distinction must be made between the harsh statements made last night by the Likud, and outrageous remarks by MKs on the right and left: Yair Golan can talk about settler violence and Gabi Lasky about the right of the murderers' children to receive a survivor's pension.

David Amsalem can speak sharply against the justice system and with Itamar Ben-Gvir, statements (and sometimes even deeds) are the agenda itself, and yet, there seems to be a profound difference between what our ear is already used to hearing from elected officials (and perhaps the problem is that they are not really elected By the public who usually see in front of him only the heads of the lists - and not the people he will put in the Knesset in his voice), and what we heard yesterday from Regev and Steinitz.



It is not that we really believed that our elected officials had a real agenda that was not entirely made up of political appointments, personal advancement and lust for power - but what we saw yesterday is a particularly repulsive outburst, not only of loss of values, but mostly of loss of shame.
