Anyone who has listened to Jida Rinawi-Zoabi being interviewed in recent days has received everything ugly, stressful, and even a little scary in parliamentary politics.
A Knesset member who is expected to resign and not harm the coalition from within, explicitly stated that she was offered a job as CEO of a government company in exchange for her retirement.
The MK did not present proof of the matter, but it is believed that as part of the pressure exerted on her, such a consideration was also offered. Why? Because this is how these things work, unfortunately. Works even in these very moments when the coalition needs to offer everything it has to those threatening to retire.
In my opinion, if Nir Orbach wants to be chief of staff today, Aviv Kochavi will have to look for work.
And the great innovation in all this is - that there is no legal problem with this matter.
There is of course a big stench of gift and political trade, and take and give and anything bad, but in most cases it is the usual political stench.
Politics is a very stinking thing by virtue of being a matter of which 90 per cent revolves around money, but the public is usually only exposed to a fraction of the remaining ten per cent.
So what's the problem anyway?
The problem is, as usual, Eric and Nurit.
Eric and Nurit have been my code names for two years now.
They represent to me good and dear Israelis who live their lives in peace, contribute to society as much as they can, hold the views of the center and moderate right of their youth, traditional to the extent of hatred and fanaticism, who in the last two years' political predation And swear against corruption and the corrupt.
I've been having a constant dialogue with the Eric and the LEDs for two years.
A minority is conducted face to face, but most of it takes place unilaterally, inside my head.
As these demonstrations took place and hatred swept the streets, my questions to them were in utter shock and shock: Really?
Do you believe that the government is infected with corruption that justifies this commotion, the rift?
Is it really so bad for you in the country that it justifies cursing and showing puppets in the shape of organs?
But since there is a healing government in Israel and the map has changed for a moment, and Eric and Nurit have returned to their comfortable home and are watching, moving from the side of despair to the side of hope on TV and saying to themselves "what quiet. Everything seems normal.
They are already less painful and angry, and more full of endless contempt.
And after Rinawi-Zoabi and the CEOs, I really wanted to ask you, Eric and the honest Nurit: Healing, eh? Clean politics, eh? Be ashamed.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
