Opinion | Leave with you, everything is a position Israel today

2022-07-05T06:59:02.460Z


I do not at all think that the government should be blamed for the whole series of current problems in the country.


Something happened this week in our house: I told someone a joke that was rejected on the basis of old age.

Dad, she told me, it was funny.

time.

This is not funny.

You know what?

Judge for yourselves: One woman says: My son married a witch clapper.

He washes, he cooks, he takes the kids to kindergarten, he brings them back.

Terrible.

My daughter, on the other hand, married an angel.

He washes, he cooks, he takes the kids to kindergarten, he brings them back.

Admit it's funny, right?

I think it's funny to her too, at heart, only she fought well with laughter and stuck to what this joke actually expresses: she stuck to position.

Now leave the mother-in-law and my daughter and the musty jokes, and explain to me what people who roll their tongues mean like: This government was the best government that was here.

Assuming they are not CEOs of government trust units or IHB experts who are currently conducting research on government activity and decisions - what the hell are they based on?

Let's see: this government came after a long period of political and economic instability (no new state budget passed) and it put, as expected, the system of government into a stable course of action - but any elected government would do so.

There is a government - the rush is over.

Government should be judged by achievements, no?

Well, a time period of one year is too short to show achievements.

One can talk about directions and trends.

From a security point of view, quiet and worrying stability is maintained, but this was also the case before.

The threats remained as severe as they were.

Foreign relations are normal as they were, the corona disappeared thanks to the previous government vaccines.

What more?

Here's what else: wildcat strikes in at least four systems, queues at the Ministry of the Interior and Ben Gurion Airport like never before, rising living costs (electricity prices rose yesterday), unusual traffic congestion in the big cities. These are facts, not interpretations.

Now let it be clear: I do not at all think that the government should be blamed for this whole line of facts.

Most of the problems are the problems of the hour that stem from systemic sabotage, which is based on the excuses of the corona and also on the government pitching.

I'm just asking: on what is the indulgent romanticization based on the achievements of this disintegrating government?

On position.

Just about position.

The citizen is completely blind to facts and figures.

He is blind even to some of his own feelings.

He is only aware of some of his supreme and central desires, which he himself defines and formulates and he is the one who arbitrarily determines whether it is good for him or bad for him.

And all the facts interest him just as much as the hotties from that joke, which I again insist is clever and even really funny.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
