A time machine that will take the politically aware Israeli, from 1992 to 2022, from the elections to the 13th Knesset to the polls for the elections to the 25th Knesset, should be equipped with anti-shock pills.
The discourse that ignited around the primaries in Meretz, now a tiny fringe party, does not mention the cool party that celebrated popularity back then with three ministers and 15 mandates.
Even Merov Michaeli's idle statements about a party that will grow pale in comparison to the lack of success, and are in no way related to Rabin's 44 mandates in '92.
A rich man who has lost his assets in such a significant way, a camp that has changed shape, should do a real soul-searching.
The left shrank not because of fashion.
The public has not become less valuable, there is no tendency towards small parties, and it is not that all Israelis moved to establish outposts in the Jordan Valley.
There is a situation where the historical moves that set the tone are the Oslo agreements, which most Meretz voters and the Labor Party at the time think were a bitter failure;
It is likely that most of the supporters of those parties understand following the "disengagement" - which was done by a Likud man who adopted leftist values - that this is not the way.
The average Israeli no longer melts from peace agreements, does not fantasize about the magic that will be created by shaking hands with terrorists, nor is he stupid enough or hates settlers enough to think that if the "occupation" ends, the cost of living will also be resolved or that there will be peace here until the grandchildren try to be accepted into the GLC.
Who wants to be leftist?
In the 1992 elections, I was a Tel Avivian girl in the 5th grade.
I am convinced that besides me there were three other right-wing students in the class, but they kept it very quiet.
The music teacher proudly told that he was a Meretz voter, the educators shared that their vote would go to work, only the security guard was a Likudnik.
Leftism or die.
In Israel it is no longer like that, it seems to me that even the ultra-leftist school I attended is aware of this.
In the primaries for the leadership of Meretz, the cool and extinct party, Zehava Galon won.
The next day, on the soldiers' radio, she said the following: "People think that preventing Bibi's return is 'just not Bibi', but this is an entire ideology. It is to prevent the people who want to put us on trains and send us and the Arabs out of here."
Yes, my dear, you heard right.
The interviewer did not stop her in the middle and ask if she was serious, after all her name is not Smotrich.
And she went on to explain: "Those who want to pour bleach on judges and lawyers. We want a just economy and justice, and to end the occupation. We have a comprehensive worldview, a climate, a fight for social justice."
Zehava Galon the governor between her camp, a camp which according to her is "not for nothing just not Bibi", and a camp which is, apparently, the right.
And this camp probably wants to throw her on trains, like you know who, and the Arabs as well, and do what was detailed above.
Besides that, Meretz also has a world view of slogans that have nothing to do with each other.
Therefore, Zhava continued, "When we present such a team together with me, we will succeed on November 1st in bringing in seven mandates, the sky is the limit."
Vespi Ovadia said: Wow.
But a situation where the parties of the declared left actually have 11 mandates, is not wow.
The occupation is not crooked, it is also your fault.
But the left has two options: one: to continue to vilify and hate;
Two: dress up as the center.
The new leaders of the left are masquerading as the center.
They do this under the auspices of the cost of living crisis, the rift in the nation, the disgust of more and more elections.
They also understand that the public is right-wing, so they market their left in disguise:
They sell the public the illusion of a time-out: "Right now we are not dealing with fundamental questions," they say, and the public really believes that the meetings with Abu Mazen in Rosh Ha'Ain are just for world peace, after all, Gantz is tall and full-eyed like Miss Photogenic;
We are talking about "reducing the conflict" and not about evacuating settlements - how many of us can decipher a party platform in the linguistic section of a wrestling publication?
We celebrate Sanfrost dressing up as a zoo, but the real masquerade is in politics.
What would happen if there were only two blocs in Israel: right and left?
Where would those who say that "a vision for the time" and "there is no discussion of essential issues" go?
If there is no discussion of essential issues - why are you in politics?
The funny Merav Michaeli
Merav Michaeli announced that she is in favor of operating the light rail on Saturday.
This is a unique case in the Bible, where before there is public transportation on a weekday, they want to operate it on Shabbat.
If until now it was not clear that the faltering actions in the Ministry of Transportation are aimed at Michaeli's next ambition on the day she is thrown out of the Labor Party - Tel Aviv Municipality, now it is clear.
That is why the lack of handling of the transportation problems in the south and north, the unsafe roads beyond the Green Line - for Palestinians and settlers alike, the increase of toll rates for the elderly population and the payment of a ticket that is not adjusted to the population - are less significant in her view - since most of the users are old or ultra-Orthodox who do not stream with a smart phone.
The railway transport minister.
Soon on a weekday?
The minister's choice not to carry out the old central station project and to replace the heads of her ministry with people who are residents of Little Tel Aviv qualified the new three-pronged announcement. And it was amusing to hear Gideon Sa'ar, who announced Jewish empowerment only six years ago when he led a fight against the opening of supermarkets in Tel Aviv on Shabbat, and now he said that he has no problem in principle with public transportation on Shabbat in that city. more paraphrase.
I know: ideological backbone
