Opinion | It's not all a flag Israel today

When Joaz Handel said the sentence "We are not fighting flags, but terrorism", in the context of a wizard flag hung on the Temple Mount, he ignored the fact that a raised flag symbolizes victory • In the end it will explode inside us


Like many and mediocre by his side, a lot of embarrassing twists have been recorded and recorded by Joaz Handel on an almost bi-weekly basis since the formation of the government.

Especially when asked in interviews about his pre-election statements, each of which has aged worse than its sister.

Due to the shortness of the sheet, we will give you the answers:

They began with poor explanations of unity and "but also Bibi," degenerated into "no one will teach us about Zionism" and "but also Bibi," and plummeted to "Jobniks who will not turn to me, I was in the fleet!" .

Heartbreaking and embarrassing in a way that is hard to describe (and of course, "but also Bibi").

One embarrassing answer stood out: It happened earlier this month, when PLO flags fluttered proudly on the Temple Mount. On this Handel said the sentence “We are not fighting flags, this is not the event.

We are fighting terrorism ... I do not want to divert attention to any practice of the flag. "

Do you understand?

flag.

He has no hands or weapons and therefore should not be fought, but terrorism.

And if that was not understood, then yes - Handel turned to you - those for whom waving an enemy flag in the heart of the Old City hurts - as they turn to four-year-olds.

Short for Handel: The flag is identification.

A person identified with a flag will treat it with respect.

Always.

A soldier, football fan or civilian, will not walk around with an opposing flag (with an emphasis on an opponent).

A raised flag symbolizes victory.

Much blood has been shed throughout history for the right to hoist it, and such an image becomes iconic: the ink flag, the Soviet flag on the Reichstag and the U.S. flag in Iwo Jima.

And after the amazing innovation you just read, stay tuned: Israeli flags across the country are being torn down and snatched.

From cars, from balconies, gates.

At the same time, Palestinian flags are hung and proudly hoisted.

Left-wing activists in the network and in the Knesset, who have long since given up on Zionism, are careful to dwarf the events or praise them.

"It's just a flag," say Beniv Yoaz-Handley.

In the same breath, they are appalled by the idea that Israeli flags will be hoisted in other specific places, that "it is not the same thing" and that it "may burn the territory."

Well, accept: the area is already on fire.

19 murdered so far, daily assassination attempts, violent demonstrations in Arab localities with PLO flags, many residents of Jerusalem are already giving up a visit to the Western Wall. Just need to stress.Everything is fine, nothing to see, move on.

But there is another reason: PLO flags actually present in a ridiculous light, naked and naked, the already shaky thesis of the left in Israel, which holds that there is a difference between Israeli Arabs and Arab Arabs. The PLO flag in Lod and Jaffa and Haifa is a flag that mocks them.

A flag that emphasizes identity, and identity in all those places without exception - is a Palestinian identity.

Even after last year's disruptions, Handel, the coalition and the media consciously choose to close their eyes and imagine that everything is fine.

That there is no imminent intifada.

That we are not sitting on a ticking time bomb.

Dear Handel, you know that everything will explode, because we did not fight against the flags.

Although I was only in Golani, but still, trust me on this issue.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
