To cover up the end-of-season sale, invent endless spins.
"Monkey" is a word that holds a title.
At least for three days, at least when it's attached to smallpox.
Ben Gvir.
Bullet casing.
Likud activist.
Miri Regev's mouth utterance.
And the biggest spin - the populist legislation of "Dimensions for Studies".
Israeli citizens expect to be notified in which country they live.
The problem is that the State of Israel finds itself in a sensitive, crisis-stricken international situation, led by a handful of individuals who do not recognize the severity of the challenges and threats.
It's not just Iran or the Palestinians.
This is all that is derived from the war in Ukraine.
Soldiers are supposed to know that they are fighting under a government that transfers the good and right decisions to a given security situation, which is far more important than economic benefits.
Israel's problem is more understandable when comparing the fixation of its political elite to countries like Sweden, Finland and Germany.
No one attacked these countries;
Still, in recent weeks they have undergone a historic strategic perceptual revolution.
Israel is more like Sweden than one might think, both because of its social-democratic roots, but also because of its Western neutrality during the Cold War.
Not many people know that Sweden, which has a developed military industry, also engaged in an advanced nuclear project in the 1950s.
It made a decision to withdraw from the nuclear direction, of course for fear of the USSR's response. Israel, on the other hand, chose the opposite line.
Today's perceptual changes are not ones that come with a change of government.
In Sweden, there has been a change in strategic policy that has guided it for more than 200 years.
This was stated by Prime Minister Anderson, who was in Washington a week ago with the President of Finland.
She defined the period in present-day Europe as reminiscent of "the darkest days in European history."
It was precisely in those dark days that Sweden stood aside.
Now "this is a historic moment for our two countries," she said of her country and Finland at a triple press conference with President Biden.
"For Sweden, after 200 years of non-military involvement, a policy of non-identification, Sweden has chosen a new path."
Finland changes a policy of neutrality that has been imposed on it for more than 80 years, following its war against the USSR in 1940-1939. In Germany, the change is profound, due to the lowering of its profile following the Holocaust. The German foreign minister was a pacifist from the Green leadership. When she took office, she spoke of a "foreign feminist policy."
Until the war, there was no difference between these statesmen and Tamar Zandberg or Merav Michaeli.
No enemies are parked on the borders of Germany and Sweden.
In their territories there are no revenge-seeking iridescent minorities waving Russian flags on campuses, nor MPs harming the war on terror while supporting the killing of civilians.
Still, there is something perceived by these left-wing leaders as greater and more important than feminism or the environment, and that something is not the Supreme Court or the Attorney General, but something abstract that is called independence.
Sovereignty.
history.
If it is observed that actually Michaeli or Zandberg have an opinion on the Palestinian, Syrian or Iranian issue, it will be perceived as a joke.
The fixation above all.
But there is no sign that Bennett and Lapid, including Defense Minister Ganz, are drawing lessons from what is happening in Europe or as a result of the Palestinian terrorist attack on both sides of the Green Line.
Survival considerations
When it comes to thinking and changing policy, Biden's US has also undergone a makeover. Approval of $ 40 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, more than twice the Israeli defense budget, is a radical turnaround. As part of his new role at INSS, an evaluation paper on Russia and Ukraine.
But Dr. Henry Kissinger has never been more active. About three weeks ago he appeared at the Financial Times conference, and this week he was flown to Davos, Switzerland. In the next two months, a ceasefire, realistic threats of nuclear weapons and the expulsion of millions of civilians are back in vogue.
"I hope the Ukrainians will have the same amount of wisdom as the heroism they demonstrated," Kissinger said, "Ukraine's role is to be a neutral buffer state instead of being the eastern border of Europe."
Israel broadcasts discipline subject to American policy.
Major General Heiman said he supported the renewal of the nuclear deal.
I tend to believe Ben Rhodes, who tweeted about two months ago that Naftali Bennett's objections are unconvincing, and that the right-wing position does not seem to contradict the position of the political echelon.
On the issue of Russia, too, he is aligning himself with the American Democratic administration.

In any case, Israel treats Iran as if the nuclear agreement already exists.
Whether it is a negotiation or an agreement, Israel has been preventing itself since the formation of the current government from direct action against elements related to the Iranian nuclear program.
Miners do not explode, no funerals of nuclear scientists.
And in contrast, a national state funeral for a senior member of the Revolutionary Guards.
Major General Eyal Zamir, a candidate for chief of staff, claims in a document dealing with a victory strategy to thwart the Iranian strategy that "for the Iranians, the nuclear agreement is a temporary step, designed only to allow the effort to achieve long-term goals without being interrupted by international pressure."
"Victory theory aims to inflict defeat on Revolutionary Guards," he writes in a document published at the Washington Institute.
According to the document, Iran is partially succeeding in realizing its plans to build a military infrastructure against Israel on the Golan Heights border.
It seems that the agreement with the Americans regarding keeping the Revolutionary Guards on the list of terrorist organizations means a change of focus.
Stop working against the Iranian nuclear program, and implicitly leave it to the Americans, and Israel is taking care of the Revolutionary Guards.
There is a particular problem here, especially if and when the sanctions are lifted.
sit and do nothing
MK Yuval Steinitz says that this tendency, to fight the Revolutionary Guards and do nothing against the main threat, the nuclear project, is very serious. Israel under the leadership of Bennett and Lapid has failed in this issue. Until a year ago, he kept the Iranians below a certain red line on the issue of enrichment.
"The Iranians waited a few months to see what Biden was doing, and then on May 21 they began enriching uranium beyond 20 percent to 60 percent," Steinitz says. "Openly on a military option that is on the table, he has developed bunker-infiltrating bombs and everything needed to keep the Iranians in the areas of enrichment and enrichment percentages. Trump, too, after eliminating Suleimani, was seen as crazy not to mess with. Biden is not talking about a military option."
The need for a strong national government becomes necessary in the face of three formidable challenges.
The minority government that needs the fingers of the opposition to survive, and then throws mud at Miri Regev, who has made legitimate arguments, is unable to face these challenges.
Nor does it identify them as challenges that require powerful treatment.
The challenges are: the Iranian nuclear that has almost gone out of control;
A very severe global economic crisis, due in part to the Ukraine War.
There is already a shortage of commodities, accompanied by high inflation in Western countries;
And the third challenge, perhaps the most difficult, is the restoration of sovereignty in Israel, while dealing resolutely with the internal riots.
The riots get a different expression in each arena.
Sometimes these are murderous acts of terrorism, and sometimes the mobilization of PLO flag-bearing students on the Be'er Sheva campus. Illegal construction and weapons depots. Sometimes this is internal political support for terrorism. An alternative national government will not suffice.
Outcast clique
Among the issues that are being overshadowed in the media is the Prime Minister's House, which is being built illegally, while submitting false affidavits, in Raanana, the stronghold of the Jewish heritage in the Land of Israel.
This is the ruling in the High Court rulings following the neighbors' petitions. Do not worry, it is not expected that personal responsibility will be imposed or that indictments will be filed. God forbid. It should be noted that indictments have been filed against everyone around Netanyahu.
Experts claim that Adv. Ben-Tzur is constructing an argument for the defense of justice.
The source of the legal persecution against Netanyahu is not in law or in crime, but in the man being an individualist in a society with Stalinist roots.
But in the United States, too, there has been a mad pursuit of the individualist. Elon Musk. The United States is not Stalinist.
Was not America the land of freedom and the homeland of the brave?
Modern Bolshevism does not seem to need a dictator.
Censorship was privatized, and as soon as Musk got his hands on Twitter, Kalgasi "Freedom of Expression" went into action.
The basic thing is that you must first of all have an independent, original, own thought;
And you must not be - how to put it mildly - smarter than your surroundings.
Political, security, economic, bureaucratic, partisan.
Luckily for Netanyahu and for the State of Israel, the man is not sewn into the fabric of Israeli culture where every public figure is a screw of a particular group.
He was in the United States for a long time, and the smell of the fire and the pile of guys on the grass did not stick with him. In a place like Israel, it arouses hatred and suspicion. Two or three of the kibbutz writers recognized it.
The kibbutz in this respect explains the anti-individualist Israeli DNA: "Following the conversation, I am tempted to believe that the person in the kibbutz lives not in a world of facts and concepts, but in a literal world.
And 'the tyranny of words' rode us, just as it is written in the Communist Manifesto.
I am present to know that there are words that evoke nervous reactions in people.
There are concepts that cease to express their true meaning, because human beings perceive them in a special way of absorption ... with an emotional hue.
Some people get used to seeing in words not concepts but slogans, not problems but propaganda verses.
Otherwise I would not be able to understand why the appearance of Elimelech's multifaceted free personality aroused such great suspicions among many of our members in the kibbutz. "The passage appears in Naomi Frenkel's book" Dudi VeRai "from 50 years ago.
A book of notes, letters and ideas by Arik Sharon, now published by his son Gilad and edited by Rami Rothholtz, shows a character who was also at the center of exclusion because of his qualities of independence, initiative, originality, sense of purpose and high level of intelligence.
Two chiefs of staff aimed for the isolation of Sharon and his removal from command positions because he did not fit the spirit of the clique.
